Urban Development: No Longer A Growing Problem?

No garden? No problem! Lack of space is no excuse for not growing your own

(PR For Less and WireNews+Co) - Sheffield, England - 18 October 2011

With urban living becoming more confined, buildings seemingly creeping closer together and every possible empty lot being built on; having space to grow your own produce in a city seems like a tall order.

Tell this to any fan of hydroponic growingand they’d be proud to, quite literally, show you the fruits of their labour. Hydroponic growing is rapidly increasing as urban development continues to shut down our allotments, do away with gardens and ensure that our cities have as little green space as possible.

What does it involve? Pre-conceived ideas aside, it’s actually very simple. Hydroponic growing is a method of growing plants, fruits and vegetables using mineral nutrient solutions in water, without soil. It’s a highly successful method of growing produce in urban areas, as any window ledge with sunlight can essentially become your garden.

You’d be surprised how popular it’s becoming, so much so that dedicated stores exist to get you started and keep you supplied throughout the endless growing season. Green Spirit Hydropnics are one such online store, based in Sheffield and staffed by experts in the field. Christopher Scorthorne, Green Spirit Hydropnic’s Managing Director, tells us more about how they are trying to battle against the horticultural nightmare of urban development:

“Okay, our cities are becoming concrete jungles, but this is no longer a bar to not being able to grow your own fruits and vegetables”, says Chris. He continues “Our company established itself to make it more than realistic to ‘grow your own’, even if you live in a small apartment located in a cramped city. We sell everything from starter kits right through to grow lamps and daily supplies. Our biggest asset though is our expert staff – all hydroponic growers themselves and always on hand to assist our customers”.

Now could be just the right time to get started yourself, as Green Spirit Hydroponic have just announced their Autumn sale and it’s their biggest to date.
