The science of hydroponics proves that soil isn’t required for plant growth but the elements, minerals and nutrients that soil contains are.

You will also have a greater yield because of more root growth as a result of the increased levels of oxygen available to the plant. Because the plant has to utilize less of its’ energy to find and break down nutrients, as in soil, the yield is greater.
