This document presents an IOT based vertical farming system. Vertical farming works on the principle of hydroponics, which is a method of growing plants without soil using mineral nutrient solutions. An IOT system is proposed that uses sensors like temperature, moisture, and pH sensors to monitor the environment and control factors like water levels, nutrients, and sprinklers using an Arduino and ESP8266. An IOT app called "Magical Garden" is presented that would allow monitoring and control of the vertical farm remotely. The system aims to achieve higher yields with shorter growth cycles while reducing resource usage compared to traditional farming.

4. VERTICAL FARMING
VERTICAL FARMING WORKS ON THE
PRINCIPLE OF “HYDROPONICS”
HYDROPONICS IS A SUBSET OF
HYDROCULTURE,A METHOD OF
GROWING PLANTS WITHOUT SOIL,USING
MINERAL NUTRIENT SOLUTIONS IN A
WATER SOLVENT.
DISADVANTAGE:- 1)LEAKAGE OF WATER
2)NEEDS A LOT OF MAINTAINENCE

20. DISADVANTAGES
COST IS HIGHER THAN
NATURAL SOIL PROCESS.
WATER BASED MICRO
ORGARNISM CAN BE
EASILY INTRODUCED.
INCASE OF POWER
OUTAGE, SYSTEM MUST
BE HANDLED MANUALLY.

21. CONCLUSION
THE MAIN AIM OF THIS PAPER IS TO HELP EVERY
URBAN FARMERS AND GARDENERS TO MANAGE
THEIR VERTICAL GARDENBY SPECIFICALLY
NOTIFYING THE ISSUES.
THIS SYSTEM SAVES WATER,SPACE AND
FERTILISERS.
THIS SYSTEM PROVIDES BETTER YIELDS WHEN IT IS
COMPARED WITH SOIL SYSTEM.
