The History of Vertical Hydroponics (600 B.C Old Story) (Nutritower.com)
The term “hydroponics” originates from the Greek words for “water” (hudor) and “work” (ponos). Thus, the literal translation for hydroponics is “water working.” In simple terms, hydroponics is the method of growing plants in water rather than soil.
Hydroponic soil-free technology
Built upon proven irrigation drip hydroponic technology, the Nutritower is entirely soil free. Your seedlings take root in our custom designed netting pots that are filled with our growing medium. They are then automatically watered to ensure that your plants are hydrate and fed helping them to grow up to 25% faster, all while keeping your kitchen completely mess free.
if you thinking hydroponic gardening is a new concept, consider this ancient civilization of Babylon, circa 600 B.C., with their beautiful hanging gardens…grown hydroponically. Many believe these gardens were 80 feet tall, featured elaborate terraces, laden with floating plants, and teaming with lush greenery and colorful flowers
