Hydroponic Strawberries - 10 Reasons To Make Your Own

Posted under environment by Damian Jackson

Have you ever considered growing your own hydroponic strawberries? They are delicious and you could make money from them!

Below is a list of why hydroponic strawberries beat traditional soil grown strawberries.

1. No matter where you live you can grow hydroponic strawberries. There is no need to have a garden! So even if you live in a crowded city centre apartment block then you can still grow them.

2. Because you’re not using soil, no soil borne diseases will be passed on to the plants! This solves a big problem for many gardeners.

3. You will have no need to purchase expensive pesticides to kill any soil loving pests. Your strawberries will remain organic as a result.

4. Once you are all up and running, your running costs will be around 20% lower than with traditional soil based gardening.

5. You can grow more hydroponic strawberries in a smaller area! This is due to the decreased size of the roots as they don’t have to spread out to find nutrients. So you will be able to grow more in your growing trays.

6. Maintenance time is greatly reduced from as soon as your system is set up. There is no need to water your strawberries as they will already have access to all the nutrients. There is also no weeding involved as there is no soil. All you really need to do is pick the strawberries as and when they’re ready.

7. The strawberry yield will be year round. You control their environment and you will have everything set to their optimum growing conditions so they will continue to produce 365 days a year.

8. You can grow hydroponic strawberries anywhere; rooftop, window ledge, cellar, corridor, greenhouse, conservatory or living room.

9. Hydroponic strawberries grow on average 40% bigger than their soil grown counterparts. This is because they have permanent access to all the nutrients they need and you have created the ideal growing environment for them!

Hydroponic Strawberries are lovely and there is a chance to make some real money especially if you sell them off season for high prices. You should set up your own Hydroponic Strawberries system, sit back and enjoy the fruits of your labor.
