With the release of their latest guides, GreenCityFlats.com aims to educate readers on how to transform small spaces into organic gardens. The website says that hydroponics, a type of soilless gardening, is particularly suitable for apartments; as a soil-free growing method, gardeners will not face issues typical of traditional gardening, such as poor soil quality or soil-borne pests. Closed hydroponics are also very water efficient, as water and nutrients circulate directly to the roots of the plants; very little will be lost to run-off or evaporation, resulting in up to a 90% reduction in water usage compared to traditional gardening.
The basic components of a hydroponic growing system are net pots, an adequate light source, water-soluble nutrient solutions, and pH test kits to ensure ideal growing conditions for the plants of choice. GreenCityFlats.com says that readers can also invest in smart sensors and automated timers, lights, and pumps to reduce the need for maintenance.
To maximize growing space, they suggest creating vertical gardens with stackable planters, wall-mounted and hanging baskets, and modular systems, which all have the additional benefit of adding visual appeal to an indoor area. According to the guides, the easiest plants to grow in such setups are leafy greens, herbs, high-yielding vegetables like tomatoes and cucumbers, and strawberries.
Upon harvesting and using their produce, GreenCityFlats.com says that gardeners can dispose of their food scraps sustainably with advanced technology such as the Vitamix FoodCycler, a compact and odor-free composting device that is well-suited for small living spaces. The guide advises readers to use it only for composting fruits, vegetables, grains, coffee grounds, and eggshells; pits, large bones or pieces of meat, and greasy or heavily seasoned foods may cause it to malfunction.
