 What is Organic Gardening? It is gardening without the usage of man-made chemical pesticides or chemical fertiliser. It is said by some of its supporters to be more in harmony with nature. An organic gardener strives to work in harmony with natural systems and to minimize and continually replenish any resources the garden uses up.

Hydroponic technology began in 1680 when John Woodward cultivated mint plants in various aqueous solutions enriched with different kinds of soils bearing decomposed organic matter. In truth, these experiments were the embryonic stages of Hydroponics, and the aqueous solutions used contained nutrients of organic origin. |

The two main types of hydroponics are solution culture and medium culture. Solution culture does not use a solid medium for the roots, just the nutrient solution. The three main types of solution culture are fixed solution culture, constant flow solution culture and aeroponics. The medium culture method has a solid medium for the roots and is named for the type of medium, e.g. sand culture, gravel culture or rockwool culture. There are two main variations for each medium, sub irrigation and top irrigation. For all techniques, most hydroponic reservoirs are now built of plastic but other materials have been used including concrete, glass, metal, vegetable solids and wood. The containers should exclude light to prevent algae development in the nutrient solution.

 In 2006 it was e. coli in spinach, now in 2008 it is the possibility of salmonella in the tomatoes and/or possibly other vegetables. Those two well known news headlines probably do not include those of us that thought we just had a touch of the flu and did not report it to an official agency.
