Hydroponics, the Future of Farming

As the human population continues to grow, most of the land available will be used for human settlements rather than farming so one can still do farming no matter where you are. Hydroponics is one of the best methods which both saves land and labour. Hydroponics is growing plants in a nutrient solution with or without soil.

I came across this sample of hydroponics @builderssa and they grew lettuces.Note this is a perfect way to grow greens such as lettuce as they don’t require long duration of light to grow and lettuce grow well in small pots because of their shallow roots don’t need deep soil.
