Hi,
Now that you have found my blog, pretty sure something might have spiked your interest in hydroponics in general and with some magic from Google algorithm, showed you my blog.
I am not going to bore you out with details of hydroponics and how it’s going to be the future and all. I would rather share an experience which I hold valuable. MINE.
You see, I had a 9-5 job. For close to 6.3 years. Not a fan of it, but hey, it pays the bills and brings food to the table at the end of the day. So why not. But a major chunk in this plan is, if you do something which you don’t enjoy, you will burn out sooner or later. And that’s what ended up happening with me. As I am writing this blog, I am sitting at my living room, without a care of any kind of pressure from my ‘job’. What I am getting pressured from are the bills which the job used to pay and the food which it used to take care. And to top it off, I have a costly hobby to take my mind off the mundane tasks.
So to keep the cash flowing, I definitely needed an alternative options when the 9-5 is no longer viable or I hit the wall which I can no longer climb. That led me to something which has always spiked my imagination.
AGRICULTURE
But then again, getting a land just to start off is a costly affair. Then comes the labour, the experiment and so on and so forth. So I started working on some way to reduce that overhead cost of land. And then it hit me!!
Why not get rid of the soil itself?
One thing led to another and after a lot of research, I ended up with hydroponics. Researching on hydroponics alone took around 3 years more till I decided to get my hands dirty and started working on it.
This blog is all about my hits and misses of my hydroponics journey. Starting from the first experience on it to having a full fledged commercial farm and earning from it. Hopefully you guys will be sticking around for it.
I don’t expect a follow. I just wanted to share what I have learnt and am learning. I have no one to actually guide me yet, but I hope you don’t go through the same process.
See you around.
