Hydroponics for the Home Gardener: An easy-to-follow, step-by-step guide for growing healthy vegetables, herbs and house plants without soil. (Gardening) 
| "Hydroponics is crop production with mineral nutrient solutions instead of soil containing silt and clay. Terrestrial plants
may be grown with their roots in the mineral nutrient solution only or in an inert medium, such as perlite, gravel or rockwool. A
variety of techniques exist.
Plant physiology researchers discovered in the 1800s that plants absorb essential mineral nutrients as inorganic ions in water.
In natural conditions, soil acts as a mineral nutrient reservoir but the soil itself is not essential to plant growth. When the mineral
nutrients in the soil dissolve in water, plant roots are able to absorb them. When the required mineral nutrients are introduced
into a plant's water supply artificially, soil is no longer required for the plant to thrive. Almost any terrestrial plant will grow with
hydroponics, but some will do better than others. It is also very easy to do; the activity is often undertaken by very young
children with such plants as watercress. Hydroponics is also a standard technique in biology research and teaching and a
popular hobby."

Dear Hydroponics Fans,I am writing to you in behalf of your Heavenly Father. He is seeking you like a lost sheep. You remember the Bible story? It is about a shepherd who has 100 sheep. But when he brings the sheep home one night, one is missing. He then leaves the 99 sheep and goes out into the wilderness until he finds that lost sheep.
In this parable the shepherd goes out to search for the one lost sheep-the very least that can be numbered. So if there had been but one lost soul, Christ would have died for that one. To read more click Lost Sheep
