Instead of soil, plants are planted in mineral nutrient solutions that are soluble in water. They may also be grown in gravel or perlite which are called inert mediums.
Hydroponics is not a new method of growing plants and can be traced back to ancient times. Examples of these are the floating gardens of the ancient Aztecs, the Hanging Gardens of Babylon, and the writing of Marco Polo indicate he saw similar gardens in China during the 13th century.
Hydroponic gardens were used to feed troops stationed on arid islands during various wars and have been introduced into space programs. Although the basic concepts of hydroponic growing are still the same, the methods have advanced in leaps and bounds over the past century.

...And much moreSimply put, hydroponics is a way of growing plants without soil. Instead, their roots are submerged in water and their needed nutrients are provided by a water-soluble medium.
There is a lot you can grow hydroponically like herbs, vegetables, varieties of flowers, and even some fruit. Since the pH levels can be controlled a lot of fruit that need various specific soil conditions, such as blueberries, do well in a hydroponic environment. Some plants like potatoes, radishes, and other big root vegetables may take a bit more practice to grow in a soilless system. But if you can get their environment right, even these plants outdo their soil planted counterparts.
