Right around the time a barrel of oil was around $150 USD I stumbled upon an article from an "expert" saying that the solution to resolve hunger was to give more money to poor countries in order to buy more tractors and more agrochemicals! So wrong! Then a thought popped into mind: " Do something! No matter what! Anything is better than nothing! ". Mission: increasing awareness of hydroponics and aquaponics as key tools in fighting hunger around the world.

Hello everyone! How I got into hydroponics is a long story...let's just say that it involves a lot of tedious farm work as a child, unsuccessful 'dirt' gardens of my own and a near electrocution from a semi-submersible hydroponic pump. I've learned that hydroponic gardening is the only way to garden for me and I've been working at it for several years now. I've built ebb/flow, nft, Mittleider, wick and passive systems and I'm always on the lookout for the easiest and most efficient means of hydroponic gardening...If you have questions, I would be more than happy to answer them...
Recycled PET Pop Bottles Hydroponics Systems (1 links)
I created this category specifically for the "inventor/creator" of this hydroponics system. It is simple, clever, kiss, and works with no electricity.
SNAP-Simplified Non Circulating Hydroponics (2 links)
Simple Nutrient Additional Program (SNAP) for HYDROPONICS. A low-cost hydroponics system
and a soil-less vegetable production system.
Stratum Method for Container Gardening (1 links)
It is probably the first time you heard that name..like me! I thought there were enough ideas there to justify to create a category.
