How can I set up a vertical farming system at home?

Setting up a vertical farming system at home involves choosing the right location, selecting plants, and using suitable equipment. Do you have a specific space in mind?

I have a small balcony. What plants would work best?

Great! For a small balcony, consider growing herbs like basil, mint, or small leafy greens like lettuce. They thrive in vertical setups.

What kind of lighting do I need for these plants?

You'll need grow lights that provide full-spectrum light. LED grow lights are energy-efficient and perfect for small spaces.

How often should I water them?

It depends on the plant, but generally, check the soil moisture. Most herbs need watering every few days, while leafy greens may need more frequent watering.

Any tips for maximizing space on my balcony?

Use vertical planters or wall-mounted shelves to maximize space. You can also consider stacking pots or using hanging baskets.
