Hydroponics is an alternate form of gardening. It has been on the rise in recent years because it has proved to be more nutritionally beneficial. Hydroponics is often referred to as the agriculture of plants in water and also the agriculture of plants without soil. Though the idea seems rather unpractical, its results prove that it may well be the future of gardening as we know it. It uses very advanced techniques and utilizes the understanding of essential chemicals needed for high yields and faster growth. Although it uses only water and no soil to grow, hydroponics really uses less water per yield then regular soil growing.

The nutrient concentration of a hydroponic garden is often referred to as the EC level. If your hydroponic garden consists of Grodan plants, they would require less fertilizer then what they would need in a soil based garden. This is because of the technical system of hydroponic gardens. In soil gardens the nutrients in fertilizers are not all absorbed by the plants, because the soil acts like a buffer. In a hydroponic set up, there is nothing acting as a buffer, and all the nutrients from fertilizers are easily absorbed by the plants. It is a general rule that EC and pH should never be lower then 5 and higher then 7, as the plant would not be able to absorb any nutrients.

To clean the clogged dripper, dip it into a vinegar solution and scrub if necessary. If the dripper is far to clogged, consider soaking it in water prior to the vinegar solution. Keep drippers nearby so they can be used as replacements whenever needed.
