Hydroponic v. organic?

Postby Vanilla Orchid » Wed Jul 06, 2022 3:05 pm

I recently noticed that Costco was selling two kinds of strawberries: organic and hydroponic. They both looked about the same. Hydroponic were a little cheaper. Are the terms hydroponic and organic mutually exclusive? I know that hydroponics is a way of growing plants without soil in some kind of nutrient solution.

What, if any difference is there in nutrition?
