Agriculture in Chennai without soil
Posted on: 08/Oct/2015 2:33:29 PM
Since there is little space for gardening in big cities like Chennai some are cultivating on their roof tops. Now Sriram Gopal, a resident of Kottivakkam says that we can grow plants without using soil. His concern Future Farms advocates the hydroponics system - growing plants without soil and using automated watering systems.
Compared to a regular terrace garden, hydroponics uses 80 per cent less water. It is a good option for residential projects and for people who like trying new things and working with their hands, even if you start with a 100 sq.ft space. As of now, Future Farms facilitates people to build their own farms and terrace gardens. By putting a poly-house on the roof, there is a 20 per cent increase in cooling efficiency and you get extra oxygen from the plants.
