What's This Course About

Basic Hydroponics Course for Urban Farming introduces the science and practice of growing plants without soil, with a focus on what works in a dense city environment like Singapore. Hydroponics lets you grow leafy greens, herbs and fruiting vegetables using nutrient-rich water, less space and far less water than conventional farming. The course suits hobbyists, educators, aspiring urban farmers and anyone considering a home, rooftop or community hydroponic setup, and no prior farming experience is required.

You will begin with the history and advantages of hydroponics and compare the main system types, including wick, deep water culture, nutrient film technique, ebb and flow and drip systems. Next you will look at growing media, plant nutrition, pH and electrical conductivity, and learn how to mix and monitor a nutrient solution. Practical sessions cover the basic techniques of hydroponic farming, such as germinating seeds, transplanting seedlings, managing light and temperature, and preventing common pests, algae and root problems.

The course closes with urban farming practices in Singapore, looking at how hydroponics supports local food resilience, what makes a small system viable and how to plan a setup that fits your available space and budget. Throughout the session you will work hands-on with real equipment and plants, so the concepts are easy to apply at home. By the end, you will understand how hydroponic systems work, be able to set up and maintain a basic system, and confidently grow your own fresh produce.
