In house plant cultivation, indoor bulbs are the most easily raised and maintained as well as the surest of bloom.

2. Weeds And Weeding
Improved by cultivation and selection, many of the plants we despise when found in our gardens are basic food crops in other countries: dandelion, burdock, nettles, bracken fern fiddles, chickweed, to name a few.

3. Meaning And Purpose
When combined, these mean 'water-working'—and a reference to the use of solutions of water and fertiliser chemicals for soilless plant cultivation, as opposed to normal growth in soil or geoponics (the care of the earth).

4. How It Began
Gericke, of the University of California, attempted to transform laboratory-style soilless cultivation into practical crop growing without soil. Reasoning that if it could become possible to produce plants where ordinary earth or manures could not be used, or where soil gardening would be out of the question, something of real and lasting value to humanity would have been achieved, Gericke set up out-of-door growing units, taking advantage of the sunny Californian climate.

5. Gardens Without Soil
Since gardening without soil, unlike ordinary plant cultivation in earth, is an exact and controlled operation, it will generally give better results, provided due care is taken.

6. Differences From Soil
Not only is the soilless garden exact and controlled in its functioning, but it also cuts out many time-consuming and laborious jobs necessary in conventional plant cultivation.

7. Feeding Your Plants
Several hundred different formulae have been developed by different scientists and institutions concerned with soilless cultivation over the years, but they all have the same object: to supply plants with the vital food elements, such as nitrogen, potash, phosphorus, calcium, sulphur, magnesium, iron and other minor or trace nutrients.

8. Diseases And Pests
Provided the simple instructions given in this book are followed and the hydroponic unit set up properly, soilless gardening for the home is remarkably free from the diseases that beset soil cultivation.

9. Other Methods
Even on a small scale in the home, backyard, or garden, you can employ quite elaborate methods of soilless cultivation to raise crops of striking quality by means of different apparatus and contrasting sets of equipment.

10. Mulches
When the 2 in/ 5 cm dust mulch is retained by frequent cultivation there is no problem with weeds, and plants often make better growth than when mulches are used.
