Hydroponic Mini Greenhouse

Anyone that’s familiar with a mini greenhouse knows that there are several advantages to growing within a contained (and controlled) structure. Not only are greenhouses a great way to insulate your plants from the outside environment, but they are also very effective at raising the daily average temperature, which is what helps the plants that are contained within thrive. Although there are many different types of small greenhouses including the 3 and 4 tier mini greenhouse, there is one type in particular that has gained a steady amount of interest of the past few years – the hydroponic mini greenhouse. So, what is hydroponics and why should you even care about it?

For those that aren’t quite sure what hydroponic growing is, it is essentially the practice of growing plants in the absence of soil. Instead, the plants are grown over a thin film of water that contains fertilizer for the plants to feed off of. Not only is the water loaded with nutrients that plants need for proper growth and development, but it’s also aerated to provide plants with oxygen to the root zone. There are several advantages to growing hydroponically including the following:

•    A constant supply of nutrients and oxygen to the roots

•    Increased rate of growth and higher yields

•    Clean and efficient means of production

•    Reduction of root pests and pathogens

•    Hydroponic gardening is fun!

Hydroponic mini-greenhouses are a great way to garden without having to worry about plotting out and preparing the traditional garden. Plus, by taking advantage of the optimal growing conditions that greenhouses provide, you will be able to realize yields that you never thought possible. Of course, vegetable plants aren’t the only items that can be grown hydroponically; fruits and even ornamental plants can also benefit greatly by being grown this way.

If you’re interested in setting up a hydroponic greenhouse at home, it probably first makes sense to locate some suppliers for the equipment you will need. Fortunately, there are a variety of suppliers online that carry mini greenhouse kits and accessories. It’s also possible to build a structure of your own if you feel ambitious enough to tackle a DIY project. Whatever you decide to do, it’s important to understand that the benefits of growing plants in a hydroponic mini-greenhouse far outweigh any upfront costs that you might incur. So, what are you waiting for? Get out there and start planning your mini greenhouse today.
