| Hydroponic Gardeners Fight Hunger |
| When gardeners roll up their sleeves, great things happen. Not just in the way of those orderly rows of sugar snap peas, bell peppers, and to-die-for tomatoes. It’s really much more than that. Organizations like Hydro for Hunger enable gardeners to make a significant, collective contribution to the fight against hunger worldwide. |

| Keep it cool and dry in your grow room! Most plants prefer 72 to 75 degrees with about 75 percent humidity. An overly hot garden will produce tall, thin plants with little harvest potential. An overly moist garden is a breeding ground for molds and other plant-damaging things. A cool, somewhat dry garden is best for a bountiful harvest. |
