This video is entitled “Hobby Hydroponic Gardening Indoors and Out”. It is presented by Carl Anderson of Virginia Hydroponic. This video is a great resource for hydroponic gardening. Carl really seems to know what he is talking about and he presents it in an easy to understand manner. This video is simple but very informative and not boring. The total time for this video is two minutes twenty-five seconds.
The topic of this video is hydroponic gardening. Carl begins by showing a full size tomato plant that is growing in a small planter. This is an abnormal occurrence using normal gardening methods. However, this tomato plant was created using hydroponic gardening. Carl goes on to explain that the flood and drain hydroponic system makes growing things like this tomato plant easy. It enables you to have full-grown plants all year long.
With hydroponic gardening, you can bring your system inside when it gets too cool outdoors. While you have the benefit of natural sunlight outside, you can use an energy efficient high intensity garden light inside and have wonderful results as well. You don’t need a lot of space indoors either.
The flood and drain system is the most versatile out of the many hydroponic methods. It enables a wide variety of plants such as full-size tomatoes, herbs, or houseplants.
The flood and drain system works in the following manner. The lower reservoir holds the water and nutrients. When the timer comes on, the roots of plants in the upper tray are bathed in nutrients. When the pump stops, fresh air is brought down, which brings fresh oxygen to the roots. Four floods per day are needed with this system.
With indoor hydroponic gardening, you can have fresh herbs year round. This means that you don’t have to rely on prepackaged herbs. You can experience the wonderful taste of fresh herbs grown in your home. You can also have yearlong vegetables and flowers. How wonderful is that?!
This video is highly recommended for anyone wanting to learn more about hydroponic gardening. It is an excellent source of information.
