ABOUT
Have you ever wondered how hydroponics work? Do you have a small garden space that you would like to maximise the amount of plants you grow within it? During this Workshop you will learn the following from Louis:
- What hydroponic systems are
- The main types of systems used in hydroponics
- Creating a novel hybrid hydroponics system
- How plants grow
- The different stages of a plant's growth
- Benefits of growing out of your own garden
- What coconut coir is
- Lastly, how an African Grower works and its benefits
We will then have a practical session where we take a look at the provided herbs (spekboom, spinach, parsley etc) and learn how to plant them. Louis will answer all of your questions here.
The top herbs and vegetables provided for your grower will then be discussed. Dr Couto will explain how to use each herb medicinally or nutritionally.
The workshop will be from 10-3pm. Tea, coffee and snacks will be provided.
You will receive a pamphlet of notes on how to grow with hydroponics, how to use the herbs and some recipes for your kitchen.
You will also receive an African Grower to the value of R1000 as well as the soil and plants needed to fill your new hydroponic kit!
