What is Hydroponics?
Hydroponics is the growing of plants or produce without soil using water and essential elements. Did you know that hydroponics could be as ancient as the pyramids? Egyptian hieroglyphic records dating back to several hundred years B.C. describe the growing of plants in water along the Nile River without soil. Before the time of Aristotle, Theophrastus (327-287 B.C.) undertook various experiments in crop nutrition. Botanical studies by Dioscorides date back to the first century A.D. A primitive form has been carried on in Kashmir for centuries.
The process of hydroponics growing in our oceans goes back to the time the earth was created by Jehovah God (Genesis chapters 1 & 2). As a farming vocation, many believe hydroponics started in the ancient city of Babylon with it's famous hanging gardens, listed as one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World! The world's rice crops have been and continue to be grown in this way. Marco Polo described how the Chinese had "floating gardens."
