It is a subset of <\/span><span class=\"s1\">hydroculture, which allows plants to grow using mineral nutrient solutions. This allows plants to be grown by their roots and without the use of soil. A subset of soilless culture, hydroponics makes growing plants year-round possible. Using controlled environment systems, Brogue Hydroponics is one Ma(i)son\u2019s leading supplier of sustainable vegetables year-round.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\" style=\"text-align: left;\"><span class=\"s1\"><b>How it Works<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\" style=\"text-align: left;\"><span class=\"s1\">Hydroponics gives plants exactly what they need when they need it. It is easy to maintain plants, making them as healthy as possible. The process has a faster and more efficient growth rate compared to the traditional ways of using soil. This makes hydroponics a highly productive <\/span><span class=\"s1\">system in regard to conserving water and land as well as protecting the environment.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\" style=\"text-align: left;\"><span class=\"s1\">Two essential techniques of hydroponics are solution culture and medium<\/span><span class=\"s1\"> culture. <\/span><span class=\"s1\">Solution culture primarily uses just the nutrient solution rather than using a solid medium for the roots. On the other hand, medium culture does consist of a solid medium in the form or sand, gravel, or rockwool culture.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"700\" height=\"394\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/sjAiDwwFrS4?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\" style=\"text-align: left;\"><span class=\"s1\"><b>Hydroponics in Brogue<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\" style=\"text-align: left;\"><span class=\"s1\">Bob and Nancy Kilgore founded Brogue Hydroponics in 1983. They currently have six greenhouses with an additional one in the making. All of the greenhouses have a variety of lettuces, herbs, tomatoes, red raspberries, garnishes, and edible flowers. They take pride in supplying only the best ingredients locally. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\" style=\"text-align: left;\"><span class=\"s1\">Specifically, Brogue uses nutrient solutions; water containing fertilizers with the use of perlite and <\/span><span class=\"s1\">peat moss to add support. Brogue Hydroponics is made up of a closed system in which excess solution is recovered, replenished, and recycled. They also use Integrative Pest Management in all of their greenhouses, which helps pest control and prevents possible damages that may be harmful to people, the environment, and structures.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\" style=\"text-align: left;\"><span class=\"s1\"><b>Unique Techniques<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n<ul style=\"text-align: left;\">\n<li class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Wick System<\/span>\n<ul>\n<li class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Simplest type involving a passive system, which involves no moving parts.<\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Nutrient solution is drawn into the medium with a wick.
