What can you you grow in your garden hydroponics system?As mentioned earlier, ‘if it can grow in the garden, it can be grown in your garden hydroponics system’.
For a short list, your garden hydroponics setup can grow artichokes, asparagus, beans, beets, broccoli, brussel sprouts, cabbage, carrots, cauliflower, celery, cucumbers, eggplants, leeks, lettuce, melons, onions, parsnips, peas, potatoes, radishes, spinach, squash, tomatoes, yams, raspberries, strawberries and most herbs and flowers.Take particular notice of the ‘root’ vegetables mentioned, such as potatoes, beets, leeks, radishes and onions, to name a few. I have never grown such things in my hydroponics garden but…give it a shot! You can even grow small fruit trees and shrubs in a hydroponics system. Perennials and biennials (asparagus, strawberries) should be carefully considered before adding them to your hydroponics garden. If you are set up outside and you live in an area where winter means below-freezing temperatures, you either have to move your garden indoors or basically shut down, pack up and discard the plants. I live in an area with winter, cold temperatures and snow so my personal preference is to grow annuals in an outdoor set up. My hydroponics garden has easily produced marigolds, lettuce, peppers, green beans, parsley and cilantro, to name a few. The key word here is ‘Don’t be afraid to experiment…’ OK, OK, key phrase then.
