The sense of joy that people experience in planting and harvesting is far greater than the edible value of the plants.”

Their advantages are cleanliness, no pests and diseases, as well as natural and organic. The disadvantage is that it does not contain fertilizers and must be used together with nutrient solutions. Therefore, there is a certain technical threshold that makes it difficult for home growers who are just starting out, especially the skills of fertilizing and watering are not easy to master .”
