2. SOLUTION 1:HYDROPONICS Hydroponics is a subset of hydro culture and is a method of growing plants using mineral nutrient solutions, in water, without soil. Hydroponics is a subset of hydro culture and is a method of growing plants using mineral nutrient solutions, in water, without soil. Simply the art of growing plants without a soil medium. Simply the art of growing plants without a soil medium. The terrestrial plants may be grown in the mineral solution only or in an inert medium such as peat. The terrestrial plants may be grown in the mineral solution only or in an inert medium such as peat.

3. SOLUTION 1: HYDROPONICS HOW IT WORKS HOW IT WORKS The basic requirements for the hydroponic growing suffice the stipulated: The basic requirements for the hydroponic growing suffice the stipulated: Hydroponic types such as: a solution culture or medium culture. Hydroponic types such as: a solution culture or medium culture. Medium culture such as peat, clay pellets, rice husks, perlite, gravel, sand, rock wool and coir. Medium culture such as peat, clay pellets, rice husks, perlite, gravel, sand, rock wool and coir. Hydroponic systems such as aeroponics, aquaponics, continuous-flow solution in regards to the solution culture. Hydroponic systems such as aeroponics, aquaponics, continuous-flow solution in regards to the solution culture. Opaque containers/reservoirs to prevent algae growth in the nutrient solution. These include; plastic, concrete, glass, metal, vegetable solids and wood. Opaque containers/reservoirs to prevent algae growth in the nutrient solution.

4. SOLUTION 1: HYDROPONICS Viable option for the informal settlement, City Carton, include employing local medium cultures that include peat, clay pellets, sand or gravel. Viable option for the informal settlement, City Carton, include employing local medium cultures that include peat, clay pellets, sand or gravel. Recyclable materials such as disposed plastic bottles, vegetable solids, old pipes and glass containers. Recyclable materials such as disposed plastic bottles, vegetable solids, old pipes and glass containers. A nutrient and water solution that’s periodically applied the medium surface. A nutrient and water solution that’s periodically applied the medium surface.

6. SOLUTION 1: HYDROPONICS WHY HYDROPONICS WORKS SO WELL WHY HYDROPONICS WORKS SO WELL The crop harvested has superior taste and nutrition vis-à-vis traditional soil grown crops. It has been proven hydroponically grown crops have up to 50% more vitamins content than convectional crops. The crop harvested has superior taste and nutrition vis-à-vis traditional soil grown crops. It has been proven hydroponically grown crops have up to 50% more vitamins content than convectional crops. Conserves water up to 1/20 to 1/30 the amount used in normal farming practices and maximizes every water molecule. Conserves water up to 1/20 to 1/30 the amount used in normal farming practices and maximizes every water molecule. It is consistent because the system is not at the mercy of soil related problems such as pests, insects and soil quality thus less use of fertilizers and pesticides.
