With conventional farming consuming a lot more time and efforts of the farmer, hydroponic farming has become one of the latest, more feasible way of growing vegetables. Who would have ever imagined farming without soil being involved? But hydroponic technique does the same, in a shorter span of time with the plant growing directly as its roots are immersed in the nutrient filled solution, allowing it to absorb. Hydroponic vegetables are usually grown in Greenhouses, in a completely controlled atmosphere. They take up just as much as one-fifth of the land and space required in traditional farming and there is no worrying about the soil strength or the appropriate vegetating sessions because the outside temperature plays no role in the growth of the veggie.
