A

Like you， plants need good things like food， water， and minerals in order to grow. Usually they get these important nutrients(营养) from the rich soil(土壤) in which they're planted. But there's another way

to grow plants that doesn't use soil. It's called hydrogenic gardening.

“Hydrogenic” means “working with water. ” In a hydrogenic garden，plants grow with their roots in water， not in dirt. The water is filled with special food for the plants that gardeners have carefully measured

and prepared.

Hydrogenic plants grow quickly. In ordinary gardens， plants need time and energy to grow long roots that search the soil for food and water. In a hydrogenic garden， plants can use their energy to grow tall instead. And because there is no soil， there are no weeds and few insect pests(害虫). Gardeners don't need to spray(喷洒) plants with dangerous chemicals. Both the plants and the environment stay healthy.

Scientists hope that， one day， hydrogenic gardens may be able to help hungry people all over the world grow enough food-even in countries that have bad soil， or weather that is too hot， too cold， or too dry. And astronauts hope to take hydrogenic gardens with them to the spaceship they fly to Mars， so that they will always have fresh vegetables， and the fun of growing a garden without dirt.
