Onsite training for newcomers to tunnel farming covers theory and practice across the stages of the growing period.

Trainees learn to maintain basic water quality, operate and maintain irrigation systems, and carry out basic routine operations in a hydroponics setting. The training is for farmers and farm workers growing plants with hydroponics.

If you would rather build the tunnel yourself, DIY kits come with an installation manual to guide you.
