Hydroponics is not only an enjoyable hobby, it is also a green one.
Hydroponics use as little as 10% of the water needed for plants grown in dirt , and results in higher yields due to the plants always having the necessary nutrients available to them when they need it. Being a closed system, it also means that fertiliser is kept out of the water table, which is great for the environment. An added benefit is that there is a less chance for weeds and dirt bound insects to attack your plants, so there is less of a need for chemical poisons. Going furtherKeeping with the green spirit, this instructable uses recycled materials where possible, and uses a low power pump, to keep electricity use low.

This instructable will explain household hydroponics, with the intention of growing edible flora.
In layman's terms, hydroponics is the science of growing plants without soil-- although the plants may or may not be suspended in a solid medium such as gravel, or expanded clay balls. Soil retains minerals and nutrients, which "feed" flora, as we all know. Plant roots can't absorb dirt, however; when water passes through soil, it dissolves and collects some of the nutrient particles embedded. This "food" solution is absorbable as a liquid. As you can see, the soil itself is not an integral part of a plant's feeding cycle-- it is simply a stabilizer for the roots, and a convenient filter.
Why eliminate the soil? Growing your own food can be a rewarding experience. That being said, there may be more efficient systems out there for the home grower. Hydoponic garden - Gravity feed. This instructable defines a system of hydroponics that is gravity feed, and provided you keep the nutrient tanks full, you only need to monitor plant health, occasionally maintain the system and chomp the end product.

My first hydroponic set. Vertical Gardens Permaculture Courses. By Frank Gapinski.
Types of Hydroponic Systems # Their are six basic types of hydroponic systems and there are hundreds of variations (and combinations) of these hydroponic systems, but all hydroponic systems are based on these six system types.

Www.backyardaquaponics.com/guide-to-aquaponics/what-is-aquaponics/ Aquaponics is essentially the combination of Aquaculture and Hydroponics.
Both aquaculture and hydroponics have some down sides, hydroponics requires expensive nutrients to feed the plants, and also requires periodic flushing of the systems which can lead to waste disposal issues. Re-circulating aquaculture needs to have excess nutrients removed from the system, normally this means that a percentage of the water is removed, generally on a daily basis. This nutrient rich water then needs to be disposed of and replaced with clean fresh water. While re-circulating aquaculture and hydroponics are both very efficient methods of producing fish and vegetables, when we look at combining the two, these negative aspects are turned into positives.
