Today, vertical gardening is the most practiced farming technique in urban areas where citizens urge to grow organic food for meeting local fresh produce needs.The growers need to control temperature, humidity, CO2, and light well according to the needs of plants that grow in any vertical farming system.


Vertical Farming Ideas


Vertical gardening is considered one of the most reliable farming methods where growers could consistently grow the crops of their choosing. Whatever is the outdoor weather, growers get least affected by the extreme weather happenings if the plants adjust themselves to the indoor growing environment.


The growers can take a start at any time, as the concepts of spring or Autumn is out of the question there. Moreover, postharvest losses reduce to a greater extent. However, the vines or vegetables that grow in vertical farming are more perishable than the field crops. The postharvest care could extend product life that includes preservation of juices, extracts, pulps, and more.


Generally, the vertical gardeners are at liberty to design and build their farming systems irrespective of the climate and location. The stacking allows vertical gardeners to increase their growing space considerably.


One of the biggest advantages growing in the vertical systems is zero involvement of chemicals and insecticides that otherwise are a potential threat to humans’ health. Some vertical gardeners somehow use water-soluble fertilizers that contain nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium in large proportion. But, alternatives are available that derive such nutrients from organic sources and limit the potential threat to humans and the environment.


While growing in an environmentally controlled farming system like vertical farming, it provides the growers with an opportunity to regulate temperature, and multiple heating and cooling options may be available to control this factor. Similarly, they could control humidity and CO2 to the desired extent during different stages of growth. The light is responsible for food assimilation and the entire physiological processes in plants.Click to view the whole article
