Hydroponics makes it possible to grow plants in locations where it would not normally be possible, e.g. poor soil, rocky areas, even balconies. With the use of artificial lighting, it is even possible to successfully garden in a spare room or garage.

Less labor is required than growing in soil because no digging or weeding is required.

Nutrients and moisture are fully accessible in a hydroponic system; since plants do not need to compete for nutrients, more can be grown in a smaller area.

The increased control over growing conditions makes it easier to provide the best possible environment for plants, leading to better quality produce and higher yields.
