Herbs & Strawberries

Growing strawberries and herbs hydroponically has proven so successful that the majority of fruit on sale in shops today is produced in this manner – and doing so in your own home can be just as rewarding. The benefits for anyone growing in this manner – whether on a commercial or hobby scale – is that one of the favourite fruits of the summer can be enjoyed all year round and picked fresh from your own home rather than freeze dried and flown halfway round the world first. We stock an expanding range of products to make growing your own as simple as you would like it to be, from plug-n-play systems to more sophisticated systems such as the SureGrow NFT kits that allow a great level of control over your crop.

Herb Plants

Pretty much any plant can be grown hydroponically although as we have said, herbs are one of the families that are particularly suited to this growing method. With the price of even a small amount of these delicious additions constantly increasing it can be a very satisfying feeling to be able to add some fresh basil to a recipe without having to leave your own kitchen and at any time of year. Salad greens also grow particularly well in hydroponic systems and increasingly restaurants in the US are starting their own urban farms on the roof of their building to allow them to have a constant supply of leafy vegetables that were growing just hours before being served to guests. With products such as the Aerogarden, aiming for the Michelin stars doesn’t have to be rocket science!
