Farm

The aeroponics farm is located Lim Chu Kang Agrotechnology Park, it is the first commercial aeroponics farm in Asia to adapt the aeroponics technology to grow vegetables. The aeroponic system is developed by Lee Sing Kong. He is also known as the father of aeroponics.
In this technique of farming, the roots are suspended thus the supply of oxygen is unlimited. Availability of air is important for circulation for this technique, unlike hydroponics where the circulation of water is crucial for aeration.This is one of the advantages of aeroponics.
Water and nutrients are sprayed periodically to the roots. Compared to hydroponics, maintaining the amount of nutrients in the solution for aeroponics farming is much easier.
Due to this technique also, more extensive fine lateral roots are present to absorption the nutrient. More finer roots increase the surface area and hence better absorption.
Aeroponics appears to be the perfect solution for urban agriculture in land and water scarce countries such as Singapore. Through innovation and technology, the farm is able to conserve almost 90 percent of water compared to the hydroponics method. 

Bollywood Farm is created by Mrs. Ivy Singh-Lim. The reason why she created bollywood farm is because humans are killing the earth thus Mrs. Ivy Singh-Lim wanted to tell everyone about the importance of nature and to educate the young ones.Even though there are many medical uses of the different plants on earth, most of do not cherish it :(


 Plants in bollywood farm have many different uses, such as moraga hibiscus. It acts as a shoe polisher and hair conditioner. Wild pepper leaves helps to relieve aches and fatigues and citronella is a natural mosquito repellent.By biting on the neem tree's branch is equivalent to brushing your teeth. The Indian Borage is also excellent for sore throat.
I have also found out another amazing fact about bananas: If the banana flower is pointing upwards, the fruit is not edible.


The water supply in the farm is the pond. It irrigates the farm and the water is used to water the plants. The farm also make use of organic compose. They decompose it and the fertiliser "feeds" the entire farm!
