Hydroponics is the exclusive farming method used at Spring Fresh Hydroponics to grow a consistent and high quality lettuce and herb locally available to you.
Here is a quick overview of the hydroponic growing method:
- Hydroponic plants are grown in a liquid nutrient solution instead of soil. Seeds and plants are suspended in this water-based growth medium.
- Hydroponics feeds plants directly.
- Hydroponic plants spend less energy creating root mass needed to find nutrients in soil. More energy is spent on quicker growth and larger yields. Less time and space are needed for superior results.
- The water and minerals used in hydroponic farming are precisely measured and constantly monitored and tested for safety and optimum results.
- The quality of hydroponic produce does not depend on the quality of the soil.
- Hydroponic produce does not come into contact with soil and animal residue.
- Hydroponics requires about 10% percent of the water needed for soil farming.
- Hydroponic farming requires about 20% of the area needed for soil farming.
