Gardyn Vs farmstand(lettuce grow)

What is vertical hydroponic farming?

Vertical hydroponic farming is a combination of the vertical method of farming and hydroponics. We use vertical farming when we have less ground space for farming. It is a simple method in which we create multiple platforms vertically to increase the space. 

Hydroponics is simply soil-less farming in which we provide essential components directly in water in presence of LED lights. This method saves irrigation water, is more efficient, and is sustainable. 

When we combine them both, it becomes a very futuristic method of gardening. Using this at the house level is a very great idea to grow food for ourselves. These models are easier if you have proper manual and knowledge of plant needs(components).
