GroTec are committed to helping you to grow using the method best suited to you, we stock a wide range of lamps, fans, nutrients, soil and hydroponic growing equipment, Established in 2000 the Grotec team have over 100 years of combined growing experience and have won many awards from local allotment groups and horticultural associations.
In recent years the hydroponics has seen in an increasingly bad light, no longer do people associate it with the world food program or feeding starving countries as it is constantly being highlighted in a negative way by the government and media. Grotec believes that hydroponics can be used in extraordinary ways to keep people free of hunger and pain by producing foods and medicines at a much faster rate and of much purer genetics.
The Grotec philosophy is that knowledge is power and over the years we have prided ourselves in pioneering some groundbreaking projects and providing help with research for others our aim has always been to use our expertise in hydroponics to attempt to help in a small way to help elevate poverty and starvation in the developing world.
After taking part in several individual fundraising events within the Gambia and involvement with research and development in emergency hydroponic barley production it has begun to feel like we can really make a difference when we combine our efforts and expertise, as a result was Hydroponics4life Gardens for schools project was born.
Hydroponics4life Gardens for schools project
Our current research is based providing a sustainable hydroponic food on source within a fully comprehensive survival pack. Using developing hydroponic techniques we are now able to produce hydroponic barley in seven days and mushrooms in ten days providing both fibre and protein, however there is yet still a long way to go.
We are currently trying to develop methods to ensure the same equipment and growing media can be used again and again.
We are also conducting trials to ensure it is adaptable to various climates or develop crisis pack based on different parts of the world incorporating the plant most suited to the environment
Enabling us to combine the knowledge of more individuals we have been able to make great progress in research and development and feel we are drawing ever closer to a viable design to work in various crisis situations.
If you feel you can offer any assistance or useful statistics please do not hesitate to contact us.
All feedback is welcome form any level of expertise we are always happy to share our research in the belief knowledge is power and together we can change the world.
