Summary
Indoor food production in vertical hydroponic systems can be done year-round in any climate, has less negative environmental impacts compared to industrial agriculture and is a way of increasing the nutritional value of crops. Indoor hydroponic systems make it easy to control the precision of additives and amendments, such as fertilizers and vermicompost tea, to nutrient solution reservoirs. Vermicompost tea is known to contain beneficial microorganisms and can help increase the biomass, nutrient density, and overall health of the plants. Microorganisms and plants have co-evolved and is an essential relationship that deserves recognition and further research. The goal of the research presented in this paper was to better understand if vermicompost tea and its associated microorganisms, suc
