The Aztecs amazed the Spanish conquistadors with their floating gardens, and now 500 years later
you can impress your friends and neighbors with yours. A floating hydroponic garden is easy to build
and can provide a tremendous amount of nutritious vegetables for home use, and best of all, hydroponic
systems avoid many pest problems commonly associated with the soil. This simple guide will show
you how to build your own floating hydroponic garden using material locally available at a cost of about $50.00 (Figure 1).
