SPACE OPTIMISATION
FOR HYDROPONICS n indoor garden or greenhouse provides many opportunities
A for growth enhancement and increased yields as well as a pleasant environment to enjoy , however , a growing area is often annoyingly limited and space optimisation then becomes of increasing importance . Given that a well-controlled growing environment comes at a cost with regards to energy inputs , equipment , and upkeep , maximising the use of that limited space to give a high level of output is the objective of many growers . With the use of artificial lighting technology ,
If you ’ re dealing with particularly highly efficient and low-heat-output LEDs , space optimisation in growing areas has become considerably a small space for your easier . In greenhouses where only natural light is available there are also many system-design options to maximise hydroponic setup , productivity without sacrificing produce quality .

A single-plane hydroponic system is one that is commonly seen in many commercial greenhouses , particularly those her insights on how to growing taller plants such as tomatoes , capsicum , and optimise that space cucumbers . These systems allow maximum interception of light from above by each plant and generally space is with the right system to optimised as the plant canopy develops upwards for several feet . Smaller-framed plants such as lettuce , herbs , and maximise crop yields . strawberries , however , don ’ t necessarily optimise growing space when grown on a single vertical plane , particularly where there are light levels sufficiently high to support multi-level cropping . by Dr .
