MU Extension is providing information on how to grow herbs indoors year-round in a hydroponic system at home. Hydroponics is a method of
growing plants in soilless cultivation where the plant nutrients, normally derived from the soil, are simply dissolved in water, and taken up by roots
suspended in the soilless medium or directly in the solution. Because it is indoors, temperature and light can be managed for production year-round.
This way, homeowners can enjoy fresh herbs anytime right from their patch. Tabletop hydroponic herb production systems can be built with parts
purchased at local home supply stores or ready to use kits available on the internet. MU Extension is giving a free class on how to grow herbs at
home using hydroponics on July 29, 1:00 – 3:00 p.m., at the First Baptist Church Fellowship Hall, 555 Walnut St., Osceola, MO. Two tabletop
hydroponic systems will be displayed and explained. Register by calling the MU Extension Office in Osceola at 417-646-2419
