Achieving nutrient balance, maximizing drought resistance and pest control and minimizing gardening time are ways that drought-intolerant, moisture-resistant gardens use hydroponics. Hydroponics involves growing a plant's roots in inert mediums such as gravel or perlite, with mineral nutrient solutions in water solvents and without soil. The most hydroponics-friendly garden plants range from herbs such as basil, chives, dill, mint, oregano, parsley, rosemary, sweet marjoram and watercress, to lightweight fruits such as papayas, raspberries and strawberries, root crops such as carrots and parrots, vegetables such as cabbage, chard, lettuce and spinach, and vines such as cucumbers, peas, peppers and tomatoes.

What food can be found in Antarctica?
All food imported to Antarctica can be found there. Nothing is grown on the continent, except in research station gardens -- think hydroponics -- and everything grown in these locations must be consumed on the continent.
Can Hydroponics plants live in the sun?
Hydroponics is not a method for classifying plants, rather it's a method for growing plants. Although you could absolutely use a hydroponic system outdoors (I have seen it done), most people tend to use the hydroponic method indoors. Just to clarify, Hydroponics is the method for growing plants without conventional soil. Most hydroponics systems involve the use of a "medium" which acts as a substitute for soil, and the roots hang in nutrient enriched water. The fundamental difference between hydroponics and soil is this: Non-hydroponic systems generally use the soil as the source for roots to obtain nutrients (ie nitrogen phosphorous, etc) while Hydroponic systems use water as the source for nutrients, and the medium has little or no nutritional value.
How can hydroponics be used beneficially?
Hydroponics provides a controlled environment for the growth of plants thus removing unknown aspects from experiments. Furthermore, hydroponics is more profitable for the farmer since it enhances the production of high quality plants in less time. Farmers who use hydroponics don't have to worry about soil-born diseases or without lack of space, since plants can be placed very close one to another.
From where could hydroponics lighting be purchased from?
