The Revolution in Hydroponics Vegetable Gardening - Nutrient Solutions
Although soil-less gardening was common by the 19th century, the main medium used was distilled water or different mixes that did little for the quality of the vegetables grown there. In the 1860s though, two German botanists, Wilhelm Knop and Julius von Sachs created the first mineral nutrient solutions, aimed at taking hydroponics gardening to the next level. And that they did, as the two soon proved that the vegetables grown in such a nutrient solutions would not only grow bigger and faster, but they would also be a lot healthier and nutritious.
Of course, the results weren't that spectacular back then as they are today. The first awe-causing vegetables are known to be grown by professor William Frederick Gericke of the University of California, in 1929. He experimented with various hydroponics vegetable gardening systems using a large array of nutrient solutions and in 1929 he created a sensation amongst the media and his fellow colleagues, by presenting them with an extremely large tomato (as well as several other vegetables) that he claimed was grown in his backyard.
Nowadays, hydroponics gardening tends to become a commodity, rather than some eccentric experiment. Arid countries such as Israel or parts of the United States thrive on this type of gardening and recently we can notice a trend in home based hydroponics. It's not far fetched saying that it shouldn't be long before hydroculture replaces a great deal of today's agriculture.
