Is hydroculture the same as hydroponics?
Hydroponics is the high-end application, a method thats automated, mostly related to the production of food. This method has been extensively used throughout Japan, the Middle East and Europe because of efficiency of water, space and a high yielding of results. Hydroculture is the low-end of growing plants in water. It is also referred to as passive hydroponic system, which means that it lacks all the automation commonly associated with hydroponics. The two methods are indeed related, sharing the same ideology no soil but functioning quite differently.
