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...
Hello and welcome to my website! My name is Eric McIntyre and I love to grow my own fruits and veggies all year round using Hydroponics and Aeroponics. Growing using Hydroponics and Aeroponics is simple, quick and can be done year round. Hydroponics and Aeroponics have many benefits to the home gardener over using soil.
If you are thinking about switching to Hydroponic and Aeroponic growing - Why wait! - I’m sure you’ll ditch the soil after you see some of the benefits in our list below:
Super fast growth rates and fast harvest times
Can be done indoors and out with minimal space
Requires no “watering”, minimal maintenance
Indoors, pests are non-existent or minimal, which means no chemicals
and no weeding!
I must admit, I’ve always been a soil gardener - the love of food has drawn me into growing my own tomatoes, basil, lettuce, hot peppers and other various veggies and herbs. My problem was a limited garden space with very little good soil. I was pushed towards buying Miracle grow and other soil from chain stores and grew everything in pots which severely limited my production.
