I cant think of any better way to appreciate my teachers for this life changing opportunity that I'm about venture into going forward than sharing my experiences with you all.

After a Whatsapp chat with my friend as far back march 2022, I made the decision to go for this training regarding soilless farming.

When I started I was wowed with beautiful and creative ways of growing crops,imagine growing crops without the presence of soil.

Come to think of the benefits, the less hands needed for daily labour,the eradication of pest and diseases and a whole lot of improvement it brings.

Now let get into it, Firstly let get to understand what we meant by soiless farming. # SOILLESS FARMING IS THE FARMING SYSTEM WHEREBY SOIL IS NOT REQUIRE OR NEEDED TO GROW YOUR CROPS.Soiless farming simply put is a way of growing crops without the need for soil, soilless farming is not adopted to replace or eradicate soil farming rather to compliment it.

The method use or should I say one of the method used in soilless farming is called Hydroponics a type of horticulture in hydroculture which involves growing plants mostly crops without the presence or the need for soil by using water based mineral nutrients solution in aqueous solvent.

There are other method or ways to practice Soilless farming which are Aeroponics and Aquaponics
Aeroponics is way or method of growing plants in air or mist environment without the use of soil.
