Urban Farming For Home & Business -The Hydroponics Way-
When you think about home-based hydroponics, it makes so much sense!
What Kinds of Plants are Suitable for Hydroponics Farming?
Leafy Greens
If you are a lover of salads, this is for you as leafy greens like Pak Choy, Butter-head Lettuce, Coral Lettuce and Galaxy Lettuce are eminently suited to hydroponics farming. Generally, a complete cycle takes between 45-47 days through the following stages beginning with sowing stage to seedling to transplanting to monitoring and to harvest.
Rule of thumb: Plants to choose are typically ones with shallow root systems and plants that are known for reproducing.

Herbs
So many to choose from! All types of basil, parsley, coriander, chives, celery, mint, rosemary, thyme, oregano, dill….the list just goes on and on.
Rule of thumb: Different herbs have different conditions to cater to for optimum growth and thus adjustments have to be made.
