So you’re thinking of growing your own hydroponic lettuce? You should because it is delicious and you can make money too! Lettuce is probably the easiest vegetable to grow hydroponically too!

Below are some reasons why you should grow hydroponic lettuce as opposed to growing them in the soil.

1. As you’re not growing them in the soil, you’re not going to have that soil taste that is just so darn hard to wash off lettuce. You know what Im talking about don’t you!

2. No soil borne disease will be passed on to your lettuce. This is a big problem for many gardeners.

3. There will be no need to eliminate any soil loving pests, so you will save money on pesticides! As a result your lettuce will remain organic! We all know how slugs love to go for the lettuce first don’t we!

4. Running costs will be approximately 20% lower with hydroponic lettuce once the initial costs and set up have been taken care of.

5. Maintenance time is reduced. There is no need to water them as they already have access to all the nutrients they need and weeding doesn’t exist with hydroponic gardening. In fact all you’ll really need to do is pick the lettuce once it’s ready.

6. You will have permanent lettuce yields if you space out your initial seeds by a period of 1 week for the first 4 weeks. This is due to the hydroponic growing phase being 4 weeks for lettuce.

7. You can grow hydroponic lettuce anywhere; bedroom, garage, conservatory, garden, window ledge, rooftop or greenhouse.

8. Hydroponic lettuce tends to grow an average of 40% larger than their soil born brothers. This is due to the fact that you have manipulated the growing environment to be optimal for lettuce. They will also have access to all the nutrients they need.

9. Hydroponic lettuce also grows faster than other lettuce! This is mainly due to the roots not have to spread out in search of nutrients in the soil. This is another great benefit which means money in the bank.
