As an armature, setting up your personal hydroponic garden may seem unachievable and intimidating. You'll probably consider the process too complex in terms of specialised devices and equipment needed to be set up and the costs you may incur.  

Basically, you do not need pro skills to develop your soil-free garden, as many people perceive. However, with simple and calculated skills, you can set up a good hydroponic system with too little money and less frustration. 

It only takes some time and simple research on the botanic nature of plants that can thrive well in such an environment, the few supplies needed to be set up, and the size and specifications of your garden. 

Here are the essential supplies you need to have to complete your hydroponic gardening system.

Seedlings or Live Plants

It is obvious that once your hydroponic gardening system is complete, you will have to incorporate your chosen plants. As you set it up, think of the kind of plants you need and their size for the purpose of creating enough room for their root systems. If not, plants that have a poor root system may not germinate and flourish well. 

You may go for a live plant rather than seeds when doing hydroponic gardening for the first time. However, whichever choice you decide to go with, ensure you rinse all the soil from the roots well enough to control any existing impurities that can contaminate the nutrient and water supplied. 

Support System for Your Plants 

Your plants will need a better support system like a wire mesh or basket to allow the root systems to project downwards for better growth. In addition, you need a vessel system for the roots to suspend well. Finally, you may consider using a large bucket with enough space to allow enough moisture and prevent it from escaping. 

Enough Water Reserve

The root system of your plants needs enough water and nutrients in order to flourish. Therefore, it is essential to have enough reservoirs to provide a constant supply of water and nutrient solutions. 

The water culture system is not a bad idea. If you decide to go for it, the water reservoir and the root basin will serve the same role. Basically, ensure there is a constant supply of water regardless of the method you select. 

Water Pumps

Water pumps are available in the market at affordable prices. Select one that fits your hydroponic gardening system to constantly pump water to ensure that the system does not run dry.
