Hey readers, this is an Introductory page about growing leafy
greens in hydroponic system.
We provide total guidance and services regarding such
project, here is an overview about what you can grow in a leafy green
hydroponics farm, most grown vegetables, and some facts about them.
Leafy greens are the most popular hydroponically grown
vegetables. Some of the listed leafy greens here are arugula, basil, chive, endive,
kale, lettuce, and spinach. We can get a good yield in a controlled environment
in hydroponics.
Our TAL hydroponic systems supply special secret blend of
nutrient to the roots in solution with different methods according to the requirements
of the plants.
Hydroponically growing these leafy green plants is great for
conserving water in compare to traditional methods since the only water loss is
what is taken up and transpired through the plant leaves than losing water from
soil or media exposed to sun in
traditional methods.
Most popular lettuce and leafy green varieties that are easy
to grow well using hydroponic systems and we provide a complete setup for the
