The Hydroponics Blog

Hydroponics growing means air to root.  This is the secret of hydroponics.

With air-ated roots, growth is superior.  In soil, there is less air to the roots so not as good.

Anabolic growth occurs with also constant feeding – motorised pumps feed the plant nutrients constantly.  This is far better than soil as eventually soil runs out of nutrient…so you’re always guessing the amount of feed.

But basically the principal is air to the roots – that’s why some people get great results with soil + pebbles to air-ate the soil.
