Bali, August 2020 – In line with its continuous commitment to sustainable practices, the Nusa Dua Beach Hotel & Spa converted one of their landscaped gardens into a hydroponic garden, growing a variety of greens such as bok choy, cucumber, eggplant and chilies. This allows the resort to use their own organically grown vegetables to serve at its restaurants.
Started in May, the plants are grown in hydroponics or soilless system. This method of gardening uses water to dissolve nutrients that are usually taken from the soil, the plants’ roots are suspended in the mineral-rich water allowing them absorb the moisture and essential nutrients needed to fully grow. The nutrient rich water is collected from the Lotus pond at the Wedang Jahe Restaurant. This allows the plants to grow organically and pesticide-free too.
The hydroponic method allows for a much shorter growing cycle than traditional planting (around 2 – 6 weeks) and is not restricted by the seasons. Throughout the process, the garden has produced about 7kg of bok choy and 2kg of red and green chilies and is completely accessible to guests who would find this interesting to view.
