The pros and cons of hydroponic systems

When starting your garden, you may have considered hydroponics as a candidate. We’ve gathered the advantages and disadvantages when it comes to using hydroponic equipment.

Growing with hydroponic supplies results in many advantages, the biggest of which is that your plants grow faster and bigger as nutrients are delivered readily. Hydroponics also utilise less water as systems are enclosed, meaning less evaporation occurs. When fully functional, hydroponic systems are a joy to watch and visitors will love them.

Despite the incredible advantages of hydroponics, there are some things to consider on the flip side. Firstly, a quality hydroponic system will typically cost more to set up than a soil garden. Managing your system will also take some time as you need to monitor and balance pH and nutrient levels daily.

If big yummy plants are what you want, then hydroponics may be the right choice for you. Have a browse through our online directory to see all our listings for hydroponic stores and shops near you.
