Check out Levo's Hydroponic System at Real Art Ways!

Plants in hydroponics grow in nutrient rich water, therefore, they don’t need to break soil down or compete with neighboring plants. That energy is used instead for growing upwards, allowing for faster growth. Plants also grow closer together, meaning you get substantially more per square foot.
