WHAT IS HYDROPONICS ??

               
Let's learn,
Hydroponics is the modern method of growing plant species in water with proper nutrition, without planting it into soil. This reduces alot of human efforts with a handsome productivity. While many people associate themselves with this soilless culture. Floating gardens of China and hanging gardens of Babylon are some who have been adopting it since years.

Now let's know how it works. The plants are grown in soilless medium with all the nutrients and fertilizers added into water which baths the root of the plant several times a day. An active hydronic system uses a pump to move water. Many plants like lettuce, cucumber, tomato etc are grown through this.

It got advantages like, plants grown in such medium grows 50% more faster than the plants grown in natural environment. It is easy to handle as it requires no tillage and 24/7 work under the sun. Plants grown are disease n pests free. Reduces soil erosion. Gardeners are benifited as it has no response to harsh climatic conditions ..

Why it is gained less popularity?? It requires high initial investment. High maintenance. Lack of knowledge. Still the ability to grow plants without soil has magical possibilities. NASA has invested considerable time and research into Hydroponics as a possible source of food for astronaut for a long-term space missions...

What if I scored less in my boards?

Hey dear, Even if you would have scored 99% the world would have still judged you, some might feel very proud ,some happy, some jealous etc etc. It doesn't always matter that the society accepts us or not, what matters is we do or not. After your results they may taunt you for weeks, months or years (that he scored more than you, sharma ji’s daughter is a state topper bla bla), let them! It's your life dear not their's. Know who you are and always appreciate your capabilities. Don't let your brain and soul accept what others say. Tell them that you are meant for a bigger battle than this. I have known people with 50% owning all the luxuries now that the 90% holder cries for, that's how everything swaps. Marks are just numbers not a map for the rest of your life, may be they are important for the first few phases, like while taking admissions in your desired colleges, desired courses etc. But the rest phases are still in your hands.
