Hydroponics
What is it? What is it good for? Why do we need it? How do you do it?
Those were all questions asked in my head when we started this project. So I'll answer them for you.
What is it?
Hydroponics is pretty much gardening-but without the soil. We are growing our plants in water. We put all the necessary nutrients in the water, and never use soil. It's pretty nifty.
What is it good for?
Hydroponics is a good way to grow plants when you don't have good weather conditions for it. And it's easy to do inside-after all we are doing it in the classroom. We don't have to worry about too much heat, or not enough. In fact, we are growing corn in the back of our science classroom. It's good for growing things when they are not in season, which is a pretty good deal.
Why do we need it?
Well, we might not necessarily need it, but like I said in the previous answer, it's good for growing food out of its normal growing season.
How do you do it?
Well it seems hard, but it is easier than it seems. You just need all the right nutrients and such and then a way to check the PH regularly.
