Comparing Hydroponics V.S. Soil

While growing in soil has been the traditional method farmers have used for millennia, improvements in technology and environmentally friendly techniques have made it possible to remove the variable of soil from the equation entirely, to produce consistently more reliable and desirable results.

For example, when nutrient content in soil is sparse, it can reduce the number of critical nutrients available to a plant, creating a hostile growing environment with a smaller yield. In addition to smaller yields, the nutrition content of the harvested produce will also be of lower quality and, therefore, will not live up to your high standards.

With the introduction of hydroponics, farmers can control every nutrient entering the system. It is simple to provide plants with the optimal nutrients needed to produce exceptional quality while using fewer organic nutrients and significantly less water.

Exploring the Benefits of Hydroponics

While traditional farms contribute to significant soil erosion worldwide, our soilless growing methods mean your business is no longer contributing to this problem.

Here are some of the other benefits of hydroponics:

1. Produce proliferates, making it easy to replenish your orders quickly.
2. Hydro farmers control nutrients provided to each plant, ensuring the entire system is healthy, without the need for the excess added nutrition required when soil is used.
3. Hydroponic systems use significantly less water.
4. Hydroponics requires the use of zero pesticides.
5. Hydro systems are designed to save space and conserve resources so we can pass the savings on to you.
6. Hydroponic farms generate a much smaller carbon footprint than traditional farming methods.
7. Health and safety testing and measures are in place, so we are always compliant with local regulations.
