Hydroponic Strawberries – 10 Reasons To Make Your Own
Have you ever considered growing your own hydroponic strawberries? They are delicious and you could make money from them!
Below is a list of why hydroponic strawberries beat traditional soil grown strawberries.
1. You don't need a garden to grow hydroponic strawberries so anybody can do it! If you live in a crowded apartment block in the city centre you can grow them! If you live in the desert or Antarctica then its not a problem!
2. As you're not using soil, no soil borne diseases can be passed onto your strawberries. This will solve a huge problem that many gardeners face.
3. There will be no need to eliminate any soil loving pests! So you will have no need to use any expensive or controversial pesticides.
4. Once you are all up and running, your running costs will be around 20% lower than with traditional soil based gardening.
5. You will be able to grow more hydroponic strawberries in a smaller area, this is due to the decreased root size as they don't need to spread out to find nutrients. Consequently your growing trays can fit in more plants.
6. Once set up, maintenance time is reduced. There is no watering involved as they have access to their growing nutrients, there is no soil so no weeding. In fact all you really need to do is pick your strawberries as and when you want them.
7. The yield is year round. You control the hydroponic strawberries environment and you will have it set at their optimum growing conditions so that they will produce 365 days a year.
8. You can grow hydroponic strawberries anywhere; rooftop, window ledge, cellar, corridor, greenhouse, conservatory or living room.
9. Hydroponic strawberries grow on average 40% larger than their soil grown brothers. This is because you have created their ideal growing environment and they have access to all the nutrients they need.
Hydroponic Strawberries are lovely and there is an opportunity to make alot of hard cash, especially if you happen to be selling them off season for high prices. You should consider setting up your own Hydroponic Strawberries system, sit back, relax and then enjoy the fruits of your hard labor!
