If you're thinking of growing your very own hydroponic lettuce then you've chosen probably the easiest vegetable to grow hydroponically! They are also delicious and you can make some serious money!

Below are some reasons why you should grow hydroponic lettuce.

1. As you're not growing them in the soil, you're not going to have that soil taste that is just so darn hard to wash off lettuce. You know what Im talking about don't you!

2. No soil borne disease will be passed on to your lettuce. This is a big problem for many gardeners.

3. There will be no soil loving pests! So you won't need to buy any expensive pesticides, your lettuce will remain organic as a result. Also, slugs always seem to go for the lettuce first dont they!

4. Once everything is set up, running costs are around 20% lower with hydroponic lettuce!

5. Maintenance time is reduced! You don't need to water hydroponic lettuce as all the nutrients are already there and weeding doesn't exist with hydroponic gardening. In fact all you'll need to do is pick the lettuce once it's ready.

6. You will have permanent lettuce yields if you space out your initial seeds by a period of 1 week for the first 4 weeks. This is due to the hydroponic growing phase being 4 weeks for lettuce.

7. You can grow hydroponic lettuce anywhere; rooftop, window ledge, conservatory, corridor, greenhouse, garage or bedroom.

8. Hydroponic lettuce will be on average 40% larger than their poor soil born counterparts. This is because you will have manipulated the growing conditions to be optimum for lettuce and they will have access to all the nutrients they need.

9. Hydroponic lettuce also grows much faster than other lettuce. This is mainly because the roots don't need to grow and spread out to find nutrients in the soil. This means money in the bank for you!
