The Evolution of Hydroponics
This chapter explores the foundational work and challenges faced by a pioneering hydroponics researcher, emphasizing the importance of precise terminology and scientific clarity in soilless farming. It examines the practical application of hydroponic techniques at Wake Island, the contentious relationship with academic institutions, and the broader implications for resource conservation and public understanding of hydroponic cultivation.
The practice of growing plants in water rather than soil isn't new, though early examples are difficult to substantiate. In the 1930s, hydroponic plant culture made headlines, but the field also had conflict among researchers.
