One Stop Grow Shop, a company dedicated to providing hydroponic systems to gardeners, horticulturalists and produce suppliers remarks on the rise in popularity of micro foods.

Accredited for the latest culinary trend of vegetables and salad in micro form, are growers who are setting up aqua gardens, using their knowledge of gardening and the modern principles of hydroponics; people such as Lucas Crossley of Aqua Garden Organics. The growing demand for miniature veg and salad produce has pushes the requirement for professional systems that allow the best conditions and environment for seedlings to grow far more efficiently than simply being planted in the ground.

Although nothing new, the use of hydroponics carves a path across many civilisations over the many centuries. However, today the technology has improved vastly, allowing gardeners and growers pinpoint accuracy when achieving the specific conditions they need to grow such micro foods. The story of Lucas Crossley is just one of many, starting up just over three months ago, his business now grows over 50 different micro forms of vegetables and salad, to meet the growth in recent demand from chic restaurants and trendy bistros.

Items such as dwarf kale, rocket and red vein sorrel grow in water, the principle behind the term hydroponics and already are being supplied to a number of local pubs, bistros and nearby restaurants in the vicinity of his Mosborough based Aquagarden farm. With a further possible 200 businesses he could potentially sell his produce too, there is much scope for Aqua Garden Organics and for the man behind this innovative and exciting venture.

Staffordshire-based hydroponics specialists One Stop Grow Shop regularly follow news relevant to their industry, responding to the latest developments and popularity of the systems that can be purchased from their online store. A spokesperson for the company believes that the age old tradition of using hydroponic systems is definitely experiencing a revival and that the company is looking forward to seeing more growers adopt this efficient way of growing their own veg and salad at home:

“It is great that the interest in using hydroponics as a reliable way to grow micro foods and pretty much all edible produce is growing quickly in the UK. We simply don’t have the right climate to produce as much as other countries can do naturally, so for gardeners and produce growers, the addition of hydroponic farms is a terrific idea and one that looks like it will continue to flourish.”
