Kratky Hydroponics with Microgreens

Kratky hydroponics enables individuals to grow their own fresh produce at home, reducing the need for store-bought vegetables that may have traveled long distances.
Locally grown produce is often fresher and retains more nutrients than items that have been transported over long distances.

Phase 1 (15 min)

Presentation on the basics of Kratky hydroponics.

Discuss the environmental and health benefits of this method.

Explain the concept of nutrient solutions, pH levels, and water conservation.

Phase 2 (15 min)

Explain how to choose the right plants for Kratky Hydroponics.

Demonstrate how to mix and manage the nutrient solutions and discuss the importance of maintaining proper pH levels.

Phase 3 (1 hour)

Participants start assembling their Kratky hydroponic grow kits by placing growing medium in containers, insert net pots, and prepare for seed planting.

Participants plant seeds in their grow kits. while being guided on seed depth and spacing.

Participants will prep and seed 2 microgreen trays.

Labels are provided to identify the planted seeds.

Phase 4 and Closing Activities (30 mins)

Discussion of common problems in Kratky hydroponics (e.g., pests, algae, nutrient deficiencies).

Provide solutions and preventive measures for these issues.

Learn how to recognize and address early plant growth issues.

Discuss how to care for and maintain their Kratky systems at home.

Provide participants with a follow-up resource packet, including care instructions, maintenance tips, and additional resources.

What makes our experience truly special is the fusion of art and agriculture in a hidden hydroponic farm within Bushwick's art studio. This event fosters a sense of community and shared learning.
