I have had a hydroponic garden for 25 years and do not consider it boring. It is not as easy as they say. Some plants do well; some don't. Insects are still a problem, even in containers 4 feet off the ground. Water timing cycles, when to plant what, what kind of nutrients to use.. there are a lot of things to be worked out.

There is a big underground industry of illegal indoor hydroponics. I am not part of that.
