Plants do not need soil to grow. Plants can grow in many different media, including nutrient-rich water, peat- or bark-based growing mixes.
Hydroponics knowledge is ancient (think of the hanging Gardens of Babylon and The Floating Gardens of China), but there is a resurgence of interest today for hobbyists and commercial growers alike.

Guide To Gardening
Posted in Garden
Whether you live in a small city apartment or on a huge country estate, gardening in containers is a great way to add color and a natural ambiance to your home.
There are three important steps that need to be taken in order to create a successful container garden:
• Selecting the pots
• Getting the proper planting medium
• Choosing the plants
In each of these steps, the key is to create a healthy environment for the plant roots to grow in. Water must be able to pass quickly through the soil to have a healthy root system. As water drains out of the soil it is replaced by air, and an exchange of carbon dioxide is made with the plant roots. This movement of air and water is essential to maintaining healthy plants.
