Exercise 7

Hydroponics

            Many People did not realize that hydroponics food like vegetables are healthier than the plants that planted on the soil because Hydroponics system is the easier and clean way of planting because farmers are using mineral nutrient solutions in water without using any kind of soil. As Jim Taylor said that hydroponics vegetables are using only 20% of the gardens space, but planting with the soil will take a huge space for planting each kind of vegetable. Hydroponic vegetables are getting their food directly from the water with short roots and grow double time faster than the soil vegetables because they need large root system to get their food. In fact, pest issues will be reduced because in this situation farmers will not use pesticides that harm the soil that decrease the productivity of the vegetables. Also, by using water we can plant in anywhere because water is the main source that is available in all places without thinking about the soil is good to plant or not. In addition, by using hydroponics system of planting vegetables will let us get highest amount nutrients on the vegetables because the farmer control the amount of nutrients. Moreover, the level of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere will become low because of using water without chemicals. Hydroponics technique will be easier for the countries that have big oceans and seas near to them because the water source could be found quickly. By eating healthy food people can get healthy body and minds.
