Hydroponic Gardening,
Grow Anytime

Hydroponics comes from latin meaning 'working water'. Hydroponics uses water, or 'works' water, without the use of soil, to grow plants. If you give a plant exactly what it needs, nothing more and nothing less, the plant will be as healthy as genetically possible.

Hydroponic Gardening

Hydroponic gardening allows you to have fresh vegetables and flowers anytime, anywhere… No dirt, No insects, No disease, No bad weather! Tests show that plants grow faster, with up to twice the yield of soil grown plants. Hydroponically grown vegetables can have up to 50% more vitamin content (particularly vitamin A, all B complexes, C and E) than conventional crops.

The best part is; it's fun and it's easy? With soil-based gardening, you are at the mercy of soil quality, the wind and weather, bugs and soil-born diseases. With hydroponics, you have much more control over your garden... with more consistent results. Hydroponics also lends itself beautifully to automation.

Hydroponic gardening puts you back in touch with nature in a delightful way. It is a soothing, satisfying, stress-dissolving hobby. It's an escape from the everyday hustle and bustle. You can put a chair next to your unit and the full spectrum light and the oxygen you’re your plants will pay big dividends to your emotional well being.

Perennial Plant
of the Year 2013:

Variegated Solomon’s Seal

The Perennial Plant Association has announced its Perennial Plant of the Year selection for 2013. And the winner is …….. wait for it....... Polygonatum odoratum ‘Variegatum’ (the crowd cheers)!

Solomon's Seal

If you don’t already grow variegated Solomon’s Seal in your shade garden, this is the year to start. Add Solomon’s Seal to a woodland garden or shady border. Plant it in fertile, moist, well-drained soil. This low maintenance perennial sports 2 to 3-foot tall gracefully arching, burgundy stems. The stems are lined with narrow green leaves streaked in pure white. Beneath the stems, in pairs, from late spring to early summer, drip tiny, fragrant, bell-shaped white flowers. In the autumn, small, round, black fruit replaces the flowers and leaves turn golden yellow.

Let’s here it for Variegated Solomon’s Seal! Bravo, Bravo!
