The History of Hydroponics
This page on Camp Internet's Global Gardening Studies is a long essay on the history of hydroponics. Although hydroponics has become increasingly popular with modern technology, the practice of growing plants without soil has developed from the findings of experiments carried out to determine what substances make plants grow and the composition of plants. This work dates back as early as the 1600s. However, plants were being grown in a soil-less culture far earlier than this. Hydroponics is at least as ancient as the pyramids. A primitive form has been carried on in Kashmir for centuries. And there were the floating gardens of the Aztecs of America. The process of growing plants in the ocean goes back to about the time the earth was created. But as a farming tool, many believe it started in the ancient city of Babylon, where the famous hanging gardens are listed as one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World. It was here that was probably one of the first successful attempts to grow plants hydroponically.
