    Why is hydroponics the new way to grow plants? Hydroponic Grow Room Equipment is used to grow the plants. They are grown in an inert growing medium and are given a mixture of nutrient and water. The plants that are grown in soil spend a lot of energy searching for air, nutrients, and water. The water, air, and nutrients are mainlined directly to the rootball, in hydroponics, thereby freeing the upper flower, leaf or fruit to use its energy.

Why to go for vertical farming ?

by Siraj Pinjari Vertical structures in hydroponics are used for utilization of space.But vertical structures are costly and what factors should be considered while doing vertical farming. 1) If you are having greenhouse (Polyhouse) its better to utilize the space . The polyhouse is built with purpose of trapping CO2 (carboon di-oxide. Which is 5 times (1500 ppm approx) in morning in a closed greenhouse. It increases the rate of photosynthesis. Utilizing space in such structure becomes economical with higher plant population.In above structure polysterene/thermacol pots are filled with coco-peat ant advisable than growing for NFT (Nutrient film technique)whose maintenance cost is high and not suitable if electricity is not available without break-downs.
