Hydroponics, which literally means, ''working water,'' is the growth of plants without soil. The grower provides the plants with all of the nutrients they would usually get from the soil though water instead. Hydroponics can be used on a mass productions scale, or it can easily be scaled down for use by the home gardener as well. If you are new to hydroponics, growing hydroponic lettuce is a good place to start. The plants are easy to work with and forgiving to novice gardeners.
