No weeds or pests and diseases in the soil.
easy to harvest.

Pollutants are not released into the environment.
The disadvantages of hydroponics:
It is expensive to set up.
Requires a lot of technical knowledge.
Plants can die quickly if conditions are not maintained at optimum levels.
Diseases, if present, is rapidly spread through the water supply to all plants.
Only suitable for small production areas.
THE END
so coclude the post mentioning what is the aim of hydroponics.
