ABOUT US
Regular Gardening As a boy growing up on a farm in Ohio, I enjoyed the pleasure
of eating fresh beans, tomatoes, and other vegetables right out of the garden onto the dinner table.
Strangers frequently stopped by to purchase seasonal fresh vegetables that tasted so much better than
any of the stores were able to provide after the necessary picking, storing, and shipping time normally
involved. I also remember the hot sun beating down on my back, the sweat, sweat bees, hoeing endlessly
to try to keep up with the weeds, insects, walking to and from the garden, stooping over to plant,
weed, or pick the vegetables. It was also very weather dependent.
Hydroponics (Soilless Gardening) Now, I have the opportunity to once again grow and pick fresh vegetables. But this time, the vegetables grow in a temperature regulated room any time of the year, at a convenient location and level that makes it a pleasure to plant and pick the ripe vegetables. Weeding is a fading unpleasant memory and the weather outside is immaterial. The difference is Hydroponics or soilless gardening which permits growing fresh vegetables, herbs, or flowers in a container placed almost anywhere rather than being restricted to an outside garden or a windowsill. Hydroponics equipment and systems can range from inexpensive but frequently labor intensive home built equipment to somewhat more expensive but reliable and labor saving systems.
