On the other hand, irrigation, the artificial application of water to land, has been a cornerstone of agriculture for centuries. Integrating these two practices involves strategically…
Aquaponics is a method of farming that combines aquaculture (fish farming) and hydroponics (soil-less plant cultivation) in a symbiotic system. This innovative approach offers numerous benefits, including efficient resource utilization, organic food production, and reduced environmental impact. How Does Aquaponics Work In aquaponics, fish and plants are cultivated…
Hydroponics systems are soil-less, water-based farming processes. Rather than using soil for plant nutrition, crops are fed nutrient-rich water, negating a lot of the baggage that comes with soil-based methods. In the hydroponic system, the plant roots grow in a liquid nutrient solution or inside the moist inert…
Coco peat Coco Peat is the non-fibrous, spongy, light weight, corky material that holds together the coir fiber in coconut husk. It is used as a soilless growing medium for the propagation of seedlings and the growth of high-value crops. It is naturally anti-fungal, making it an excellent…
Vertical gardening is the practice of growing crops and utilizing vertical space to maximize land and increase water efficiency.Vertical farms come in different shapes and sizes, from simple two-level or wall-mounted systems to large warehouses several stories tall. All vertical farms use one of three soil-free systems for…
