Green Farm Home Hydroponic Greenhouse

A new, very convenient and aesthetic way to grow vegetables is presented by Rafał Okułowicz, publisher of PoradnikOgrodniczy.pl
"When I first saw what hydroponic growing of vegetables and herbs was like, I was delighted. This simple method can be used at home by anyone, eliminating many of the problems we face when growing in the garden. Because there is a secret in it that makes vegetables and herbs simply always grow well and are he althy. Even in the middle of winter!

Agnieszka from Warsaw told me about this method of cultivation. In her living room there is something that looks like a beautiful aquarium with colorful plants. In fact, it is ahome greenhouse for year-round vegetable and herb cultivationThanks to it, you can reach for fresh green leaves at any time, and the spreading herbal aromas tempt you to try something good and he althy.
But where did the idea for such cultivation come from and how is it possible that vegetables and herbs grow all year round, even in winter? Here is the secret that Agnieszka revealed to me:
"For several years I have been the happy owner of a small garden.Growing it gives me great joy, and most of all I love to see how beautifully the herbs and vegetables I planted grow.In winter I always missed: this view, this work with plants, and this taste of incredibly fresh vegetables
Many times I tried to grow herbs in a pot on the windowsill, but the ones bought in stores were quickly wasting away. Also, I was never sure what artificial fertilizers and sprays were treated before they arrived at my home.
There was also no point in sowing seeds of green salads or herbs on your own.In the fall and winter, the problem is low sunlight , which does not give plants a chance for he althy vegetation and inhibits their growth.
"In addition, I have a cat who, probably sharing my passion for gardening, was involved in the care of my plants with great commitment. The result was the dismal remnants of plants scattered all over the apartment and, of course, plenty of dirt, even in the kitchen.
"I was looking for a solution that would give me the opportunity torun a year-round home garden, regardless of the weather conditions and the amount of sun , clean and without the participation of a cat. And one day, delving into the depths of the Internet, I came across a Green Farm home greenhouse for hydroponic cultivation of plants (hydroponic cultivation is otherwise cultivation in water, without soil).

I thought that it was the perfect solution for me - because clean, the LED lamp shines by itself and the cat will not enter the greenhouse. However, I had doubts whether growing vegetables and herbs in water, to which only mineral fertilizer was added, was a really good idea … And can it even be successful?
It turned out, however, thathydroponically grown plants absorb the same nutrients as those from my gardenAnd the amount of vitamins they have primarily depends on the species and variety of the plant being grown, not on the fact that whether it grew in soil or in hydroponics.Moreover, plants from the ground take out everything that is there. And us gardeners are concerned that the soil in our gardens may contain harmful substances, such as heavy metals.
Growing plants in hydroponics, we give them only clean water and simple mineral s altsHence the certainty that there will be no contamination in them. In the end, I was convinced by the fact thatin the Green Farm greenhouse you do not need to use any pesticides and that my crops are not threatened by diseases or pestsBecause there will simply be no potential source of these pathogens, which are most often hidden In the ground. Then I thought: why not give this hydroponics a chance? I decided to buy a greenhouse.
What are my impressions now? From the very first moment,surprised me how nice (literally: nice!) Vegetablesgrow, so I moved the greenhouse from the kitchen to the living room. Now I regularly hear the delight of guests. ; -)
What is more, the sight of the growing lettuce interested even the children, who so far approached my hobby with a lot of reserve.And now they consider themselves gardeners! Probably thanks to the fact thatthe greenhouse is very easy to use - almost everything happens automaticallyNo need to dig, weed and spray against diseases - andthe crops grow and delight with taste!
