Hydroponic gardening, for many people, seems to be a new and growing trend. The word hydroponics comes from two Greek words, "hydro" meaning water and "ponics" meaning labor. However, many are unaware that the concept of soil less gardening or hydroponics gardening has been around for thousands of years. The Hanging Gardens of Babylon and The Floating Gardens of China are two of the earliest examples of hydroponic gardening. Scientists started experimenting with soilless hydroponic gardening around 1950. Since then other countries, such as Holland, Germany, and Australia have used hydroponics for crop production with amazing results.

Today, hydroponic gardening offers many benefits to gardeners and farmers in an urban environment, including a few reasons like:

1. The amount of water used in hydroponics gardening is considerably less than traditional gardening.
2. No soil is required, so you don't need to invest in an expensive plot of land.
3. The oxygen produced by the indoor plants provides better air quality for the people and animals living inside the building.
4. Because hydroponic gardening is indoors, the growing season is longer and yields more fruit, flowers, and produce.
