West Kent Trading

Creating a simple, indoor hydroponics kit as a fun and educational way of bringing pleasure and knowledge to adults and children to enjoy gardening at home.

I come from a farming background and had a 250 acre fruit and arable farm as a sideline business to my other, entrepreneurial activities. My farm shop in the west of Kent - Taywell - supplied fruit and vegetables, as well as ice cream made on the farm.

Hydroponics has come a long way since I was farming and my kit is a miniature version of serious, agricultural equipment. I spent many hours reading critical comments online about the various machines that were available and set about finding a manufacturer who would make these changes. Having found one, this product is now the most up-to-date kit in the world.

A few years ago you would have needed around £500 to set yourself up with a small hydroponics set but today it can be yours for under £100. The critical element of hydroponics is getting seeds to germinate and I feel confident that my starter kit will do this job perfectly, allowing you to grow almost any herb or flower, once you have read my detailed instruction manual.
