Hydroponic container gardening enables you to easily vary your color scheme, and as each plant finishes flowering, it can be replaced with another. Whether you choose to harmonize or contrast your colors, make sure there is variety in the height of each plant. Think also of the shape and texture of the leaves. Tall strap-like leaves will give a good vertical background to low-growing, wide-leafed plants. Choose plants with a long flowering season, or have others of a different type ready to replace them as they finish blooming.

Experiment with creative containers. You might have an old porcelain bowl or copper urn you can use, or perhaps you'd rather make something really modern with timber or tiles. If you decide to buy your containers ready-made, terracotta pots look wonderful, but tend to absorb water. You don't want your plants to dry out, so paint the interior of these pots with a special sealer available from hardware stores.

MAKE SURE THAT THERE ARE HOLES IN THE BOTTOM OF THE CONTAINER SO THAT IT CAN FREELY DRAW UP WATER TO THE ROOTS.

The container should be placed into a large bowl or saucer so the the hydroponic capillary action will feed the water to the roots of the plant.

Cheaper plastic pots can also be painted on the outside with water-based paints for good effect. When purchasing pots, don't forget to buy matching saucers to catch the drips. Always use a good quality potting mix in your containers. This will ensure the best performance possible from your plants.

If you have steps leading up to your front door, an attractive pot plant on each one will delight your visitors. Indoors,hydroponic pots of plants or flowers help to create a cozy and welcoming atmosphere.

Decide ahead of time where you want your pots to be positioned, and then buy plants that suit the situation. There is no point buying sun lovers for a shady position, for they will not do well.

If you have plenty of space at your front door, a group of potted plants off to one side will be more visually appealing than two similar plants placed each side. Unless they are spectacular, they will look rather boring. Group the pots in odd numbers rather than even, and vary the height and type. To tie the group together, add large rocks that are similar in appearance and just slightly different in size. Three or five pots of the same type and color, but in different sizes also look affective.

With a creative mind and some determination, you will soon have a hydroponic container garden that will be the envy of friends and strangers alike.

Hydroponid container gardens can create a natural sanctuary in a busy city street, along rooftops or on balconies. You can easily accentuate the welcoming look of a deck or patio with colorful pots of annuals, or fill your window boxes with beautiful shrub roses or any number of small perennials. Whether you arrange your pots in a group for a massed effect or highlight a smaller space with a single specimen, you'll be delighted with this simple way to create a garden.

WATER!

We all know what this stuff is…. pretty ordinary…it’s transparent, odorless, tasteless and its found everywhere. There are 15,000,000 sites on the net that will tell you all about water. I will tell you the most important thing about water…we cant live without it! We drink it, cook with it, wash with it –even without those three uses, how would we get on---pretty bad man!SELF WATERING!

And so will your plants! They have just got to have the stuff. Your garden will die without it.! But the garden plants only need what they want…sooo let them decide the amount of water intake they want to remain healthy and happy. Water has got what I was telling you about (above)-- Oxygen. Plants love Self Watering and oxygen.

We can sit under a tree and cool off but plants cant do that. Plants need water -Self Watering every day. Watering out in gardens has many pitfalls. It’s the plant root that need the water If we just go out and sprinkle some water over the plant or just water around the top of the plant, the water wont get down to the roots so the roots turn upwards to seek the water which is just the opposite growth action to what we ---and the plant need. Flower gardens are highly susceptible to the wrong kind of watering.This is why the HYDROPONIC GARDEN is so very good. The whole basis of Hydroponics is feeding the root system with Self Watering . Not only feeding it but also feeding it when the root system requires feeding. Also the Hydroponic Plants are fed on an individual basis, which means that each plant is getting its nourishment without having to compete with other plants.

That brings us on to Plant Fertilization. You know that all gardens in general and plants in particular require some form of fertilization. All Hydroponic Systems use various nutrient (fertilizer) formulae to ‘spark up’ the water, which is directed in various ways to the root of the plant. This is a very easy method, and I am sure that you will have no trouble here. Why? Because you have me THE HYDROPONIC GUIDE to be with you every step of the way with Self Watering . Whether you are growing Hydroponic Flowers or Hydroponic Vegetables you will use the same basic Hydroponic Plans and you will very definitely succeed with Self Watering!

Fertilizers are plant nutrients. BUT as I have already said nutrient(fertilizer)for plants is like vitamins for us. nutrients strengthens new growth. Only light can start of the growth process. Plants get their energy from the sun and with this combination and a steady supply of water….they grow….that’s Hydroponics.

DANGER: there are lots of products out there that are harmful to our hydroponic plants. It is very important to take advice on this matter from someone who has found this to be true. Let THE GUIDE help you to keep your plants happy and strong.

So what’s in this nutrient formula? Well…you asked!

Calcium, Nitrogen, Copper. Iron, Potassium, Phosphorus, Boron, Manganese, Sulphur.

Whew! …...I know it sounds complicated…but you need to know these things…..you don’t have to mix them up as some of then are already in the air and some are in the basic water that you have. You can buy the nutrient mixture already mixed up and ready to put into the water holding tank…. The Guide will tell you where to get the best one for your purpose.

BUT… if you want to experiment and mix you own, I have a great formula, which I will give you for FREE………. No strings.

NO SELLING HERE…………. JUST FRIENDLY ADVICE.

JUST ASK THE GUIDE……… I’M YOUR FRIEND.
