hydroponics

| I'm considering experimenting with hydroponics in my new greenhouse. I'll begin with lettuce in a home-made system, probably a Rubbermaid container with a floating foam mat drilled for the baskets.
I assume an aerator is a must.
Will this system out produce a conventional soil in container system?
Any experience with this?
Thanks,
Mark |

| With the proper use of soluble fertilizer, aeration and circulation, a true hydroponic system can out produce a soil-based system, especially with a crop such as lettuce. Hydroponics can have problems with water borne root diseases, which could lower production. |
