Holistic Growing

Holistic growing means looking at every aspect of the plant and its environment and helping it to grow optimally. Plants utilise a variety of natural mechanisms to adapt to various challenges, and a holistic approach to growing often leverages these to help the plant help itself. Fargro's Technical Development Manager Jack Haslam, alongside a number of colleagues, introduces the fundamentals of holistic growing and has created a range of resources to help growers get started with growing more holistically.
