| Greetings!
The concept of growing Hydroponically makes all of the sense in the world.
A commercial hydroponic operator uses about 5 percent of the water and a fraction of the land needed to produce an equivalent amount of produce in traditional agriculture. For example, with just 7,000 square feet, or about one-eighth of an acre, a hydroponic farmer can grow as much as 50,000 pounds of hydroponic tomatoes annually.
In the 1960s, commercial U.S. hydroponics developed in the arid Southwest. Of over 30,000 hydroponic acres in world production as of 2002, about 800 acres were in the United States. Most of these U.S. facilities are family or small business operations that cover less than an acre, with produce sold locally. There are also several larger U.S. facilities that cover over 60 acres, with produce sold nationally. Recently, U.S. production surpassed Canadian production, with the tomato as its leading hydroponic product, followed by the bell pepper and the cucumber.
The U.S. demand for hydroponic produce is growing, and has grown so high that domestic supply in 2002 was inadequate. Consequently, hundreds of thousands of pounds of hydroponic produce are imported daily.
There is never a bad time to start your garden in Florida. For the winter months we recommend some of the crops listed in the table below. We adapt the same good information from Mother Earth News for our Hydroponic Systems and growing methods. We have gardens for every need, big or small. Visit the farm, pick some fresh veggies and explore this fascinating way to grow and to live.
