Usually they get these important nutrients(营养) from the rich soil(土壤) in which theyre planted. But theres another way to grow plants that doesnt use soil. Its 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 dont 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.（1）Whats the meaning of the underlined word dirt in the second paragraph?
