Step By Step Earn Money From Gardening

1.  Prepare the land

For rural areas, it is not a difficult matters to prepare the land, but for urban areas, you can use attics. Land in the attic is commonly used for hydroponic gardening methods. This method was discovered by German scientists Julius von Sachs and W. Knop. Then developed by Professor Doctor W.F. Gericke from the United States.

Through hydroponics, we can still do the gardening activity, even though our land is narrow. Hydroponic gardening does not require extensive land. In addition, only a little water is needed. So, this method is perfect for residents of big cities who have less space to create of

 *You can rent your land if there is no time to take care of it

2. Determine the plants which will be planted.

Plants that can be developed and make money have many choices. Among these are: tomatoes, lettuce, spinach, kale,  melon, and watermelon (We suggest to plant lettuce, it's not hard to plant for, and easily grow quite fast)

3.  Financial Planning.

From this gardening activity, especially from the hydroponic style, we can make a some profit. If you focus you can make a lot of money too from produce the vegetable, flower, etc...

See the simulation below:

• Land area: 3 x 5 meters

• Costs:

-    Small pot: 5 x $ 1 = $ 5

-    Nutrition: $ 8 per set, can be used up to 4 months (per month $ 2)

-    Rockwool planting media measures 50 x 15 x 7.5 cm: $ 30

-    Flannel Fabric: 5 x $ 2 = $ 10

-    Lettuce seeds: $ 5

     Total: $ 70

Lettuce can be harvested once a week. With one lettuce pot sold for $ 5, if there are 5 pots means a month's income: 5 x $ 25 = $ 100

Within a month, you can immediately get a profit. That's just one type of plant. For some types, it can be even bigger. But at least half of our stocks can be sold out, it is still worthed of earning money from such of hobby
