Hydroponics Is the Method Providing Our Summer Favorites - One Stop Grow Shop Comments

 

Stoke-on-Trent, Staffordshire -- (SBWIRE) -- 08/14/2015 -- A recent report by the Daily Mail has highlighted the significant role hydroponic cultivation is playing in the UK's fruit and vegetable growth for commercial use. With an expected 75,000 tonnes of British-grown strawberries expected to be purchased just over the course of summer – it is anticipated that hydroponics will be an essential method underlying such a significant crop. The hydroponic technique is the growing of plants with water and mineral cultures, rather than soil. In these controlled conditions, yields can increase significantly and the process is recognized as highly efficient as well as sustainable. Many of the strawberries grown in the UK are incorporated into large grass greenhouses, with hydroponics enabling them to grow downwards from a height, enabling easy picking.

It is not only strawberries which benefit from hydroponics either. With three more of these hydroponic mass greenhouses expected to be built in the next year, the process is already estimated to provide approximately 225 million tomatoes, 13 million cucumbers and 16 million peppers every year. In turn, it could be seen as a method in which there is significant interest in expanding further.
