Hydroponic gardening uses germ-free growing medium unlike soil, it eliminates the risk of weeds, pests and insects. Therefore the use of chemical pesticides and herbicides is also reduced. Nutrients are directly provided to the roots. Hydroponically grown plants don't have to struggle and waste energy to find food as they are directly supplied important nutrients. This makes hydroponics with the help of efficient hydroponics system more economical and eco-friendly.
