Indoor Gardening, Hydroponics Basics

In today's world, hydroponic gardening allows you to propagate all types of plants in your home, within a controlled environment, regardless of the time of year or outside weather. All it takes is a small amount of space, little imagination, some spare time, and the right materials.
