Urban Farming is not just a lifestyle or hobby or a trend. Living in a cosmopolitan often means racing against time. Between the busy meetings in the business district and the afternoon traffic jams, we often forget to just breathe. How is not just a gardening trend, but an elegant “pause” button.
Having a productive garden at home: rooftop, apartment balcony, terrace corner is the privilege of the modern lifestyle. Imagine the satisfaction of making a salad of kale and Romaine that we picked ourselves five minutes ago and then eating it, let alone serving it to our own friends or family.
Farm-to-table is no longer an expensive restaurant jargon, but a daily standard of nutrition on our daily dinner tables.
The process of planting and nurturing green lives is also a form of meditation (mindfulness). Care. Neatly arranged hydroponic installations are now an aesthetic decoration element, adding visual value to our minimalist residences.
How do I get started?
- Determine the area of the house that gets at least 4 to 6 hours of sunlight per day, such as a balcony, roof of the house, blank walls, or a small yard. Another alternative: use grow lights.
- Choose an urban farming method that suits the conditions of our land, time and budget with techniques: Verticulture, Hydroponics, Aquaponics, Wall Garden, Rooftop Garden or Pots and Containers.
- Prepare a suitable growing medium to support its growth, providing adequate nutrition, aeration, and water retention. Garden soil can be used as a basic planting medium.
- Use organic fertilizers such as compost or cage.
- To be realistic and easier to manage, start small and develop gradually. Some recommended plant options for beginners include:
- Fast Harvest Leafy Vegetables: Mustard (30-45 days), spinach (25-30 days), kale (20-30 days), lettuce (40-60 days).
- Other Fruits and Vegetables: Chili, tomato, eggplant, cucumber, bell pepper, carrot.
- Herbs and Spices: Mint, basil, celery, leeks, ginger, turmeric, lemongrass.
- Mini Fruit: Cherry tomatoes, strawberries.
