Do you know: A new technique to stretch the traditional boundaries

Advantages of hydroponic tunnel farming:

•High quality product
•No soil is needed
•Plants get a constant supply of nutrients through an automatic irrigation system
•Able to produce larger yields of vegetables on a small area of land
•Soil borne diseases are reduced or eliminated


During the last several years there have been some simple innovative tools that help improve the way farmers reap and sow their produce, such as high tunnel farming. Tunnel farming gives farmers the opportunity to plant and grow their garden year round through the simple use of a greenhouse like structure that insulates the crops. They are no longer limited by weather restrictions or seasonal changes and instead trap’s solar warmth inside the tunnel to avoid freezing conditions year round.  Tunnel farming methods can also help provide a source of barrier protection from diseases that normally destroy plants before they have an opportunity to mature.
