Unlikely Gardeners? All Kinds of Folks are Enjoying the Hydroponics Revolution

Unlikely Gardeners? All Kinds of Folks are Enjoying the Hydroponics Revolution

Here’s a story we recently found about a fellow living in Port Arthur, Texas who decided to trade in his industrial job for an exciting hydroponics gardening business. This article from the Port Arthur Times features Abe Paninski, and his efforts to get the word out about his ABC Hydro business. This coverage shows Paninski evangelizing in airports, hitting public events, and otherwise educating the public about why hydroponics is such a great application of technology for the 21^st century.

This story also includes a lot of the reasons that more people are getting attracted to hydroponics gardening: there is the idea of year-round cultivation, the high end management of plants that’s possible with these closed systems, and the conservation of resources, as well as the idea that hydroponics plants can grow nearly anywhere, even in deep space, where NASA has apparently explored the use of these methods to provide ‘extraterrestrial food.’

Paninski’s business highlights a lot of the points that we’ve been making for many years about how easy it can be for one person to make a difference by creating a sustainable small business on a tight budget.
