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

If you would like to know just some of the benefits of growing your own hydroponic strawberries, then read the list below.

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. As you’re not using soil, no soil borne diseases can be passed onto your strawberries. This will solve a huge problem that many gardeners face.

3. There will be no need to eliminate any soil loving pests! So you will have no need to use any expensive or controversial pesticides.

4. Once you have your strawberries growing, your running costs will be around 20% lower compared to 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 is greatly reduced as soon as everything is set up. There is no need to water them as they already have all the nutrients they need and there is no weeding with hydroponics. In fact all you really need to do is pick them as and when you want them.

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 you like; window ledge, rooftop, cellar, garden, greenhouse, corridor or in your bedroom.

9. Hydroponic strawberries grow on average 40% larger than their soil grown brothers. This is because you have created their ideal growing environment and they have access to all the nutrients they need.
