Hydroponics green house construction

About Me

I am a 37 year old man,leaving in machakos county in kenya.
I am the fifth born,being the last born of my mother.I have 3 brothers and a sister.
I am schooled up to college,with a diploma in computer repair and maintenance. This was informed by my interest in tinkering with machines.
I have an interest in agriculture, an especially horticulture. I get to farm fast moving vegetables and sell them to customers.This has been informed by by upbringing, coming from an agriculturally dependent family as well as the scarcity of formal employment in my locality.
I do love the outdoors,getting to hike,do nature walks as well as travel.this informs me by observing/learning how people make use of local available resources as well as be informed as to the cultural and social aspects of life of the different communities I get to mingle with.

My Business

I have been doing horticulture farming for about five years now.o will say its a profitable and involving venture.
I have been planting
1) cabbages
2)spinaches and kales
3)peppers
4)butternuts
5)watermelons

I would say the greatest challenge has been availability of a steady supply of water in the farm.the river I utilise has been damed upstream thus reducing the amount of water available to do irrigation.
I have come across hydroponics agriculture and have my interest set to try it out. This system of farming will reduce for me the amount of water to use as well as be able to utilise the vertical space in the green house thus ensuring that my budget for water to irrigate is reduced and have an increase in production within a faster duration.

Loan Proposal

I have been reading about hydroponics farming and interested in it.ot provides a controlled environmemt to plant produce,uses less water and farm chemicals.it also affords better use of the space as one can have afew vertical levels for planting.the hydroponics system also reduces the time to maturity of the produce.
With all these benefits of the system,i would be happy to try it and learn more about it.this will give me valuable knowledge about the system before i make it my only growing system.
with the new loan I will be able to construct a medium size green house and install a three level planting test bed.
Eventually I will be to reduce my costs, increase my production and eventually commercialize the model thus increasing my income.
I am looking forward to growing our relations into the future.
Thank you in advance for your generosity thus far.
