If you're thinking of growing hydroponic lettuce then you have chosen almost certainly the simplest vegetable to grow hydroponically! Hydroponic lettuce is also delicious and you could make some serious money.
Below are some reasons why you should grow hydroponic lettuce at home.
1. As you're not growing them in the land, you're not going to have that soil flavor that is just so darn tricky to wash off lettuce. You know what I'm talking about don't you!
2. No soil borne disease will be passed on to your lettuce. This is a big problem for a lot of gardeners.
3. Have you noticed that slugs forever tend to go for the lettuce previous to anything else? Well since there's no soil, they won't have a chance to get anywhere near your hydroponic lettuce. So you won't need to obtain any costly pesticides either.
4. Your running costs will be around 20% lower as soon as everything is set up.
5. Upkeep time is reduced. There is no need to water them as they already have access to all the nutrients they need and weeding doesn't exist with hydroponic gardening. In fact all you'll really need to do is collect the lettuce once it's ready.
6. If you plant the initial seeds once a week for 4 weeks, you'll have enduring lettuce yields as the growth time in hydroponic environments are around 4 weeks.
7. You could grow hydroponic lettuce anywhere; rooftop, backyard, window ledge, garage, greenhouse or bedroom.
8. As you will be fixing the growing conditions to be just how lettuce loves it, your lettuce will be around 40% larger than all their soil born brothers. Think of the price you could charge for them!
9. Hydroponic lettuce also grows quicker than other lettuce. This is in part due to the plant roots not having to grow larger to search for nutrients in the soil. Another big benefit that means money in the bank for you!
