Is Really That Easy?

When I started in hydroponics, I found a lot of people interested, but just a few of them decided to go along and actually make something. Most of them just said that it was too complicated and left it like that.

Over the years, I have found a lot of people that like hydroponics but think is too difficult, something like a rocket science thing. However, making your own hydroponic system is really easy, if you know a couple o basic things.

So… if it’s really that easy, why are those people on forums and communities talking about strange things and funny words? Well, hydroponics can get very complicated. Right now, hydroponic production is more a science than a hobby and there are several very serious studies about many aspects of it.

Hydroponics can be as easy or as hard ar you want it to be

However, hydroponics can get as hard as you want them to be. If you have a basic system, hydroponics are really easy. There is no need for complex machinery, timers or fancy nutrient solutions. Although you will have better results with state of the art equipment, most of the time you can live with the difference.

With a couple of hours of reading and a few experiments, you will have healthy plants that can give you fresh vegetables on a steady basis. Hydroponics can be set in almost any space you can get in your house very easily.

There are hundreds of materials, some of them made specially for hydroponic use and some of them for other things, but they work just as well. The best low cost manual is How To Hydroponics, that covers almost everything you will need in a basic form in only 102 pages, so, how hard can it be?

The better way to do this is to try it. You can buy a ready to go hydroponic system and see how it works. If you like it, you can then turn your house into a hydroponic greenhouse. Not only it will look very nice and give you fresh vegetables for years to come, but you will also have a cooler house and with a nice natural smell.

Not bad for an easy technique, right? Anyway, if you are thinking about hydroponics, don’t think it too much. Better to get your hands dirty right away that wait for the next season.
