Hydroponics at Home – How it works

What’s not to love?

Hydroponics is a style of gardening that uses no soil!
Instead, plants grow in a nutrient-rich water-based solution that is easy to maintain -
5 minutes per week in the cooler months, and 10 minutes in the warmer months.
The benefits of adopting a hydroponic growing system over a soil garden for your home harvest are huge, particularly for urbanites:

Faster Growing Greens

When a plant's roots have their nutrition and moisture readily available all their energy is focused on one thing; growing!

Water Efficient Gardening

My Greens hydroponic plants use much less water than plants grown in soil which is key for the planet and living with water restrictions.

Hassle Free Gardening

No pesticides, no weeding, less pests, and minimal bending and kneeling. That's a whole lot less work for a leafy green harvest.

Space Efficient Gardening

My Greens works for any gardener, novice or pro, who find themselves without a suitable area to grow and harvest their own greens.

The My Greens all-in-one hydroponics garden tower is not just perfect for urban homes and apartments, but also cafes, schools, self-care retirement units, and much more. Think of it as an edible living wall; beautiful to look at, planet-friendly and educational for the whole family.

Watching the cycle from seed to plate is growing the minds of the next generation of DIY gardeners!

Hydroponics 101

How plants get their nutrients

In soil-based gardening, nutrients bind with soil and and feed a plant through its root system. In a hydroponic garden, a plant’s roots receive nutrition directly from a nutrient-rich solution. That's much easier for the plant to access and grow well.

Anchoring your Plants

Hydroponic plants grow in a medium such as Rockwool, Vermiculite, Perlite, or coconut fibre. Just like soil, these provide a sort of anchorage for the roots. My Greens use Rockwool, Vermiculite and Perlite to support the plant throughout its growth.

Controlled Environment

The ability to grow your own vegetables in a controlled environment gives you the peace of mind of knowing exactly what's going in your and your family's tummy. In the 21st Century, we think that's really important!

Water Saver

Water is one of the most treasured resources in the world so the fact that hydroponics uses up to 90% less than traditional soil-based gardening is a win for the planet.

Designer Nutrients

In a hydroponic system, nutrients are supplied with precision and accuracy to optimise growth and minimise wastage. Plus, all plants have the same chance of success.

pH Control

In a hydroponic system you can easily measure and control the pH level (i.e. the level of acidity or alkalinity) to encourage maximum nutrient uptake by the growing greens.

Fast and Steady

It’s a fact, hydroponic systems put a harvest into your hands sooner. Plus, you get to decide what your family is going to eat and when, not the local green grocer.
