I am passionate about farming and want to do it as a hobby. I was searching for the right vendor I visited InHydro and was amazed to see they are manufacturing & building products using HDPE material. I bought 64 Plants NFT Systems for leafy and herbs along with 50 Dutch bucket systems for vine crops. Thank you Mr. Awneesh for your guidance.
