Understanding hydroponics
Living the Country Life Radio Program
If you've shopped for tomatoes in the grocery store lately, you've likely seen some labeled "hydroponic." That means the plants are grown in water, moss or another medium rather than soil. Gardeners with a greenhouse can try this method at home, with just about any type of produce. No pesticides, no weeds to pull, and no more dirty hands!
