“Man’s survival, from the time of Adam and Eve until the

invention of agriculture, must have been precarious because of his inability to

ensure his food supply.”

    ~Norman Borlaug

 


SURVIVAL SIMPLIFIED

 

If you’ve visited the site lately, you may have noticed a new NavBar Button

labeled: Survival Simplified!

We have long been interested in and recommend for everyone exploration of a

plan to get you and your loved ones through any type of disaster; whether

man-made or natural-occurring. In preparation for this section, we have been

doing extensive internet research, saving magazine articles and acquiring and

testing various survival supplies and gear for years.

However, some friends of ours have put together a superb Survival Guide

which includes just about everything we feel needs to be discussed and

recommended. So rather than put up our own Survival section, we proudly

recommend you visit their new website via our link:

Survival Simplified.

 


Consumer

Demand for Hydroponic Veggies on the Rise

The hydroponic produce market has seen impressive growth

over the past few years, and it is expected to continue to grow. Consumers’

awareness about the advantages of this form of cultivation has definitely

propelled the market. And they are increasingly demanding locally grown

vegetables.

Growing success in the Hydroponics Market is attributed to improved

computer-controlled drip irrigation systems and attractive packaging and shrink

wrapping.

Out of all the various vegetables,

lettuce is projected to lead the market in

coming years. The emerging trend of farmer’s markets, increasing number of

community-sponsored agriculture initiatives and growing adoption of

direct-to-consumer distribution are expected to work in the favor of the

hydroponic vegetables market.

Are you still on the fence about adding hydroponic production to your operation?

If so, then you might want to read Transparency Market Research’s report. It

details all the trends, growth opportunities and forecast in the hydroponic

vegetables market: https://www.transparencymarketresearch.com/hydroponics-market.html

P.S.: Considering going pro and creating a hydroponic greenhouse for commercial

production? Visit this page for more info:

Commercial Hydroponics.

 


TIP OF THE MONTH:

COOL NUTES

If at all

possible, keep nutrients

temperature no

higher than 70 degrees and no lower than 60. Risk of root rot increases and

oxygen is depleted at higher temps and cold temps can shock plants. You may need

an aquarium heater or a reservoir chiller.


Thanks for

subscribing and for reading our ezine.

Happy farming Ya’ll!
