There are plenty of books dedicated to hydroponics. That’s why we recommend investing time and resources in finding a great book to accompany you on your hydroponics journey. However, the information available is often contradictory and half-true. Hydroponics farming is independent of harmful chemicals,” he says.The Internet is an excellent source of learning for hydroponic beginners. Moreover, the method has no risk of soil pollution as a neighbouring farmer practising chemical farming may expose soil or plants by spraying chemicals or pesticides in conventional farming. “I feel that the vegetables grown in hydroponics farming have better absorption of nutrients. Ramveer believes that the hydroponic farming technique is healthier and better than organic farming. The method saves 90 per cent use of water,” he explains. The arrangement ensures that about 16 nutrients such as magnesium, copper, phosphorus, nitrogen, zinc and others reach the plants by introducing them in the flowing water. The system is designed using PVC pipes and circulates the water with the help of gravity.
“I grow all seasonal vegetables with hydroponics. He grows okra, chillies, capsicum, bottle gourd, tomatoes, cauliflower, spinach, cabbage, strawberry, fenugreek and green peas. At present, the farm is spread across 750 sq meter space, hosting over 10,000 plants,” he adds. “I installed two methods for the farm using Nutrient Film Technique (NFT) and Deep Flow Technique (DFT). Ramveer started using pipes and other infrastructure to set up the hydroponics systems in his balcony and open spaces. His passion and love for hydroponics today has made him convert his three-storey house into a hydroponics farm that earns him lakhs.
After returning, he decided to experiment with the farming technique at home. Ramveer extended his stay and learned the farming techniques from the farmers for the next couple of weeks.
