Hydroponic NFT Lettuce and Herb Greenhouse Production

NFT greenhouse      Hydroponic Lettuce is becoming more popular as consumers expect more than just iceberg lettuce in their salads. Field grown product is often dirty with grit and other problems that make it a high labor cost item for the food service industry. Lettuce and herbs grown in a NFT hydroponic system do not suffer from these problems. In many cases, a hydroponic head of lettuce can be quickly rinsed under running water, shook and drained. The base can then be cut off, and the head split in half, and put on a plate. 

    Another valuable aspect of NFT lettuce is that the shelf life is greatly increased since the root system can be pulled out of the channel, trimmed and shipped with the product. This "living lettuce" maintains it's quality all the way to the consumer's mouth.
     CropKing has many different sizes of Nutrient Film Technique (NFT) systems. Complete commercial packages are available in sizes ranging from 30'x128' to multi-bay gutter connect greenhouses. lettuce house on aisle
