I don't know much about it. I did watch a segment and learned they DNA test the best milking cows. Then breed from them. It's amazing what science can do.

It seems very efficient to me. From what I’ve read and seen on segments, hydroponics avoid most causes of crop failure and can bring food growth to areas with soil too poor in nutrients to grow anything.

There’s no need for pesticides and herbicides either are there? Surely much less anyway.

I see no downside. I’m considering a hydroponic herb garden in my kitchen.

There was a great segment on Tennessee Crossroads (PBS Nashville) about a local guy that started a business in his basement growing herbs and selling to local fine restaurants.

I'm planing to start in my kitchen as well.. was not sure what nutrients can be used for what plant.. once i'm done with research on that i will get my hands dirty o=with this soon, i'm a mechanical engineer i have a very good idea of how the system works not sure on the chemical stuff that should be added with the water!!
