Conventional gardening requires soil and often involves the use of pesticides, herbicides and fertilizers. Plants need water to survive but this is only one ingredient. The other and most important are the nutrients. Scientists have discovered that it is only when this is diffused into the water system that the roots of the crops consume it making it grow. This is called hydroponic gardening and is thousands of years old - and it works. Here is a video tour of one hydroponic greenhouse :

By doing this in a controlled environment such as a greenhouse, the nutrients can already be mixed into the water system allowing the crops produce more yields which is what hydroponic gardening is all about. The hydroponic gardener does not have to check and pull out weeds, till the land or look for diseases that normally happen during soil cultivation since there are none. You might think that this will consume a lot of water but it doesn’t since as you can see in the video above it is reused.

One of the nicest things about hydroponics gardening is that it does not take a lot of space. This allows the person to set up a greenhouse in the backyard. The only things needed are water in containers, tubes to reuse the water consumed by the plants, strong lamps to be used as artificial light and some organic nutrients that are available at the gardening store.
