The whole setup

As there is no soil, half of the hazards are instantly solved. The garden is well grafted in a large container that can be a tank or a reservoir or a big-sized tray base. The nutrient solution can be directly placed in the container and seedlings and saplings can be grown. For better support, sand and gravel can be used.

If you want to completely wipe out any type of soil like base you can arrange for coir or coconut fibers and use them as base or support for the plant’s growth. They are great absorbents of water like substance and they can in turn allow the roots to take their share and help out in the plants growth.

The basic nutrients

Whenever it is soil where the plants grow, the roots actually derive the organic matter and the essential nutrients from the soil through the process of biological decay. If they are found insufficient, then additional fertilizers are added. Well the need of the plants in hydroponics gardening does not change. They too require the same nutrients as when grown in the soil.

The basic nutrients, thus, mixed with water to prepare the nutrient solution are actually the basic elements of fertilizer. N, P, K or to say, nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium along with a few other necessary minerals in lesser amounts are added in water to prepare the solution. This mineral based solution forms the basis of the plant’s growth in turn.
