Learning how to grow hydroponic basil indoors couldn't be simpler and enables you to cultivate delicious, aromatic herbs in every season without soil.

But tomatoes? Yes! An indoor tomato crop is indeed possible using hydroponic techniques. Hydroponics is the technical term for growing plants in water with a soilless medium such as clay pebbles.

You can also use regular soil, a foam medium called Oasis, clay pebbles, products made from the husks of coconuts, or crumpled coffee filters in plastic plant pots.
