It is a current global trend to cultivate vegetables in urban houses and use fresh veg in dietary life.
Out of different methods, people take special interest in window farming which enables them to do vegetable farming efficiently in a limited space in all seasons.
Window farming is to raise leaf and fruit vegetables using nutrient solution by fixing various cultivation arrangements by the sunny window.
The Pyongyang Vegetable Science Institute conducted an in-depth study of window farming to establish a new soilless cultivation technology and unveil various forms of cultivation arrangements.
“The window farming we completed enables you to grow such leaf and fruit vegetables as spinach, lettuce, cabbage, cucumber and tomato by employing hydroponic cultivation using nutrient solution,” said researcher Nam Mun Su. “You can also raise such ornamental plants as flowers.”
The arrangements in window farming come in dozens of forms including petal, flowerpot, column, table and wall greening. It can be applied to any rooms with sunny windows at home or office and makes it possible to produce clean and fresh vegetables all the year round.
Window farming accelerates the growth of plants as nutrient solution is used and raises good quality vegetables free from blight 10-15 days earlier than soil cultivation.
As air in the room gets fresh and a green environment is created, there is an aura of nature at home or office.
Window farming is practicable as unique and convenient cultivation arrangements can be made easily with such readily available domestic waste as plastic box or bottle.
“Demand for window farming is growing steadily,” said deputy director Ri Myong Song.
