Class Description
Interested in learning how to grow vegetables year-round? Join Extension Master Gardener Intern Joe Larsen to explore the exciting world of hydroponics, a soil-free method of growing plants using mineral nutrient solutions in water. Hydroponics has become increasingly popular as a sustainable solution to growing food in urban environments, reducing water consumption, and boosting crop yields. Whether you’re a beginner or someone looking to enhance your gardening knowledge, this class will guide you through the fundamentals of hydroponic systems, the different techniques, and the benefits of this innovative growing method. Attendees will leave this class with knowledge of the various hydroponic systems, how to build a DIY hydroponic system, best practices for growing, and how to troubleshoot various issues you may encounter.
