University
of Missouri (MU) Extension is providing information on how to grow herbs
indoors year-round in a hydroponic system at home. But, what is
Hydroponics? It is a method of growing plants in soilless cultivation
where the plant nutrients, normally derived from the soil, are simply
dissolved in water, and taken up by roots suspended in the soilless medium
or directly in the solution. Because it is indoors, temperature and light
can be managed for production year-round. This way, homeowners can enjoy
fresh herbs anytime right from their patch. Tabletop hydroponic herb
production systems can be built with parts purchased at local home supply
stores or ready to use kits available on the internet. MU Extension is
giving a free class on how to grow herbs at home using hydroponics on
July 29, 1:00 – 3:00 p.m., at the First Baptist Church Fellowship Hall,
555 Walnut St., Osceola, MO. Two tabletop hydroponic systems will be
displayed and explained. Register by calling the MU Extension Office in
Osceola at 417-646-2419
