PART B_2

The Leading Person of Hydroponics

Hydroponics is a method wherein a plant can grow without the need for soil. The modern hydroponics was developed through different experiments on plant’s composition. Many people are not familiar with this method, but in fact, this method has been used for thousands of years now.

The first known hydroponics is the Hanging Gardens of Babylon. King Nebuchadnezzar built the gardens to please his wife. The garden used a water system that supplied a steady river that contained oxygen and minerals.

The Aztecs of Central America did not have a good relationship with their neighbors. They were not allowed to have access to any arable lands. Because of that, they had to build floating bamboo structures to do soilless planting which they called the chinampas. Chinampas were loaded up with soil from the bottom of the lake. This soil contained minerals and are organic. They used these minerals and compounds to provide support to the plants. The chinampas did not only support vegetables and flowers, but it was also able to sustain trees. Countries like Peru, Bolivia, and Ecuador had also used a similar system to chinampas.

The chinampas were also used to form floating islands. It was considered a success as it was able to support a village with almost 20,000 people who were working hard to improve their way of life.
