How does vertical farming work, and is it something I can do in my home?

  Vertical farming involves growing crops in vertically stacked layers, often in controlled environments like warehouses or shipping containers. This method typically utilizes hydroponics or aeroponics systems, where plants are grown without soil and receive nutrients through water or mist. LED lighting provides the necessary light for photosynthesis, and environmental factors like temperature and humidity are carefully controlled. While setting up a full-scale vertical farm at home might be challenging due to space and equipment requirements, you can still practice vertical gardening using smaller setups like vertical planters or hanging pots. These can be placed indoors near a window or under grow lights to maximize space and grow herbs, salad greens, or small vegetables. It's a great way to utilize vertical space efficiently and grow fresh produce at home.
