Your Gateway to Knowledge & Support for Hydroponic Farming in Your Home

We are here to help!

We foster a live community on Telegram to provide rapid assistance, but some issues require more detailed answers. Additionally, certain questions frequently recur. To address these needs, we have developed our "Guides."

 

These guides offer advice and recommended practices honed over three decades of hydroponic farming, encompassing both large-scale operations and our current focus on urban farming.

 

Our guides are designed to help you navigate the various aspects of growing your own food with systems like Gardyn. Simply select a topic for which you need guidance or wish to learn more about, and you'll be directed to the appropriate page. If you have questions or want to share your growing experiences, choose "Join the Conversation" to connect with our live Telegram chat. We look forward to welcoming you to our community where fellow growers offer mutual support.
