Are you planning to grow your own veggies, but you don't have enough space to set them all up? If you already have your own Salad Table, you know that you don't really need a huge backyard to get started. If you don't have any idea about hydroponic gardening yet, this is the right article for you!
What's Hydroponics?
Hydroponics means growing plants without soil. Instead, they grow in water with added nutrients. It's efficient and gives lots of veggies in a small space. In this guide, we'll show you how to start your own hydroponic veggie garden in Australia, so you can enjoy your favorite fresh veggies and herbs all year long.
1. Pick Your Veggies
In Australia's diverse climate zones, you have a wide range of vegetables to choose from for your hydroponic garden. Leafy greens like lettuce, spinach, and kale thrive in hydroponic systems, as do herbs such as basil, cilantro, and parsley. Tomatoes, cucumbers, and peppers are also popular choices. Consider factors like climate, available space, and personal preferences when selecting your crops.
2. Select the Right Hydroponic System
There are several types of hydroponic systems, each with its own advantages and requirements. For beginners, a simple system like the nutrient film technique (NFT) or a deep water culture (DWC) setup is recommended. These systems are easy to set up and maintain, making them ideal for novice gardeners. Alternatively, you can opt for a ready-made hydroponic kit like The Salad Table, which provides all the necessary components for hassle-free gardening - with free nutrients, too!
