Beneath are some reasons why you should grow hydroponic lettuce at home.

1. As you’re not growing them in the soil, you’re not going to have that soil flavor that is just so darn hard to wash off lettuce. You know what I’m talking about don’t you!

2. No soil borne disease will be passed on to your lettuce. This is a large dilemma for many gardeners.

3. Have you observed that slugs forever tend to go for the lettuce before anything else? Well as there’s no soil, they won’t have a chance to get anywhere close to your hydroponic lettuce. So you will not have to obtain any costly pesticides either.

4. Your management expenses will be around 20% lower after everything is set up.

5. Upkeep time is reduced. There is no need to water them as they already have access to all the vitamins they need and weeding does not exist with hydroponic gardening. In fact all you will really have to do is pick the lettuce once it’s ready.

6. For hydroponic lettuce, the growth time is usually 4 weeks! So if you plant your initial seeds once a week for four weeks, you’ll have everlasting lettuce yields.

7. Anywhere you can think of, you can grow hydroponic lettuce; on your roof, garden, living room, corridor, cellar, loft or greenhouse.

8. Your hydroponic lettuce will be approximately 40% bigger than there soil born brothers! This is because you’ll have manipulated the growing conditions to be their optimum for lettuce and they will have access to all the vitamins they require.

9. Since water is swiftly obtainable constantly, the roots do not need to spread out. This means you will be able to grow more lettuce in a smaller space despite the lettuce actually being bigger.
