Hydroponics

Hydroponics / noun :

First Page Mentioned : Not directly mentioned within the narrative

Hydroponics is the act of farming plants/vegetation through a nutrient rich water environment, without the use of soil. Like aeroponics this act creates a root system conditioned to a water environment called “water root”, unfortunately, unlike aeroponics, this conditioned root system increases the chance of shock and permanent damage should the plants be transplanted into other environments. Hydroponics does, however, use less water than regular gardening, and nearly completely negates the need for pest and fungal control. Still, some plants are less suitable for hydroponics, than other means such as traditional or aeroponic gardening. New Megara's success in hydroponic gardening has proved them invaluable as a trading partner in all regions.
