There a two ways to create a hydroponics system without using any power, as long as you have access to sunlight.
Both systems involve raising plants in nutrient rich water as opposed to soil which has the following benefits.
- Increased yields: get more food from each plant
- Faster growth: Reduce the time it takes your plants to grow and produce food by up to 50%.
- Cleaner than soil and easy to do indoors so you can grow all year-round.
Due to the above benefits, you can get quite a bit out of your small indoor garden.
