Hydroponic Strawberries – 9 Reasons To Grow Your Own!
Wednesday, June 2nd, 2010Have you ever considered growing your own hydroponic strawberries? You really should do because they are delicious and you could sell them for money!
Below is a list of why hydroponic strawberries beat traditional soil grown strawberries.
1. You don’t need a garden to grow hydroponic strawberries so anybody can do it! If you live in a crowded apartment block in the city centre you can grow them! If you live in the desert or Antarctica then its not a problem!
2. Because you’re not using soil, no soil borne diseases will be passed onto the strawberries. This immediately solves a huge problem that many gardeners face.
3. There will be no need to eliminate any soil loving pests! So you will have no need to use any expensive or controversial pesticides.
4. Once you are all up and running, your running costs will be around 20% lower than with traditional soil based gardening.
5. The roots of hydroponic strawberries will remain small as they don’t need to spread out to find nutrients. This will enable you to grow more in a smaller area, you will be able to fit more plants in your growing trays.
