Vertical farming | Increase your vegetable production

In Pakistan conventional farming is widely adopted method of farming which is no longer profitable in true sense and farmers often earn a compromised profit. There is a dire need to understand that Pakistan's situations are not like as in the past. Pakistan is severely affected by the climate change, food security and market crises. Farmers should adopt the low cost smart agriculture means like open field vertical farming by utilizing bamboos and crop net for the vine and creeper vegetables like; cucumber, bitter gourd, squash, bottle gourd, tomato and etc. By adopting open field vertical farming, farmers can increase their production by increasing number of plants, lesser use of pesticides, lower disease and pest risk, easy weed management and hoeing practices etc. it is also best suited for natural farming. #savesoil #naturalfertilizer #fertilizer #highprofitfarming #highprofitbusiness #smartagriculture #verticalfarming #lowcost #diy #diyprojects #verticalgarden #vertic...
