So you're thinking of growing your own hydroponic lettuce? You should because it is delicious and you can make money too! Lettuce is probably the easiest vegetable to grow hydroponically too!
Below are some reasons why you should grow hydroponic lettuce.
1. As you won't be growing your lettuce in the soil, you won't have that awful soil taste that is just so hard to wash off. I'm sure you know what I mean!
2. No soil borne disease will be passed on to your lettuce. This is a big problem for many gardeners.
3. You will have no need to eliminate any soil loving pests so you won't need to invest in any expensive pesticides. As a result your lettuce will remain organic. We all know how slugs always seem to head straight for the lettuce dont we!
4. Once everything is set up, running costs are around 20% lower with hydroponic lettuce!
5. Maintenance time is reduced! You don't need to water hydroponic lettuce as all the nutrients are already there and weeding doesn't exist with hydroponic gardening. In fact all you'll need to do is pick the lettuce once it's ready.
6. If you space out planting your initial seeds by 1 week for 4 weeks, you'll have permanent lettuce yields. The growth phase for lettuce is 4 weeks.
7. You can grow hydroponic lettuce anywhere; rooftop, garden, window ledge, garage, conservatory or bedroom.
8. Hydroponic lettuce tends to grow an average of 40% larger than their soil born brothers. This is due to the fact that you have manipulated the growing environment to be optimal for lettuce. They will also have access to all the nutrients they need.
9. Hydroponic lettuce also grows faster than other lettuce. This is partly due to the plant roots not having to grow larger to search for nutrients in the soil. Another big benefit which means money in the bank for you! - 29954
