Sirs,

Hydroponics is a science, in which, if the grower is careful, can be rewarding and fruitful.

I have been growing lettuce in water for the last three years, I had bought the Nutrients on a trip abroad, but today , its readily available in India. My results have been satisfying, as during the winter, in Chandigarh, we never have to buy any from the market.

There are many good books on the subject. Regarding Nutrients, these can be made at home, using Lab. grade chemicals, and this is very cost effective. Care has be taken as the quality of the water is very important - ph, conductivity , temp etc.

Now, on the roof of my house, I have made a 60 sq mts net house. I am still making this, as I have plants, Cucumber,Brinjal,Okra, Capcicum, beans and a host of other herbs - with the sole purpose of providing enough food for the family. How successful I will be, time will tell, but the Cucumbers are fruiting.

The inert medium I am using is Cocopeat. In a day I will be installing the drip irrigation system, and a fogging system.

With care, hydroponics can be rewarding and FUN.
