The best advice I can give anyone when they want to start growing vegetables is to invest some time and effort in preparation at the vegetable garden planning stage.

Income Generation through Value Addition
Vegetable juicesThe juices extracted from fresh raw vegetables are highly beneficial as they furnish all the cells and tissues of the body with the elements and the nutritional enzymes which they need. Vegetable juices may be divided into three main types. These are (i) Juices from vegetable fruits, that is, tomatoes and cucumber (ii) Juices from green leafy vegetables such as cabbage, celery, lettuce, spinach and parsley and (iii) Juices from root vegetables like beetroot, carrot, onion, potato and radish
Value Addition of Vegetables
Low Cost Methods of Preservation and Processing Chemical Preservation Fruit pulps, juices and beverages Pickles, chutneys and sauces Preservation of vegetables by lactic fermentation Drying and dehydration Jams, jellies, marmalades
and preserves
Hydroponics
History Of Hydroponics Although hydroponics today involves tables, pots,
pumps, and high tech lights for indoor gardens, it is nothing new. It is a technique that was used by the ancient Mayans and Babylonians.
The word was derived from the Greek words, HYDRO (water), and PONOS (labor), literally, “water working”.
Hydroponics became popularized by the news media in the 1920s when a scientist named Dr. William F. Gericke of the University of California when he put laboratory experiments in plant nutrition on a commercial scale. In doing so he termed these nutriculture systems HYDROPONICS.
The advantages of hydroponics are significant including:-Superior taste, quality, appearance, uniformity, and extended shelf life of hydroponic vegetables.
-No sterilization of growing media required and plant nutrition is easily and completely controlled within the nutrient reservoir.
-No weeding, no cultivation, no soil borne diseases or insects. Allows uniform water availability to plants.
-Closer plant spacing is possible and movable plant channels allow greater production from equal areas.
-Less water required and less fertilizer needed, and root zone heating and cooling is made possible.
Wick System The Wick system is by far the simplest type of
hydroponic system. This is a passive system, which means there are no moving parts. The nutrient solution is drawn into the growing medium from the reservoir with a wick.
The biggest draw back of this system is that plants that are large or use large amounts of water may use up the nutrient solution faster than the wick(s) can supply it.
Water Culture The water culture system is
the simplest of all active hydroponic systems. The platform that holds the plants is usually made of Styrofoam and floats directly on the nutrient solution. An air pump supplies air to the air stone that bubbles the nutrient solution and supplies oxygen to the roots of the plants.
The biggest draw back of this kind of system is that it doesn't work well with large plants or with long-term plants.
N)utrient (F)ilm (T)echnique
The nutrient solution is pumped into the growing tray (usually a tube) and flows over the roots of the plants, and then drains back into the reservoir.
N.F.T. systems are very susceptible to power outages and pump failures. The roots dry out very rapidly when the flow of nutrient solution is interrupted.
There is usually no growing medium used other than air, which saves the expense of replacing the growing medium after every crop. Normally the plant is supported in a small plastic basket with the roots dangling into the nutrient solution.

AEROPONIC The aeroponic system is probably the most high-tech
type of hydroponic gardening. The roots hang in the air and are misted with nutrient solution. The mistings are usually done every few minutes. The aeroponic system needs a short cycle timer unlike other systems that runs the pump for a few seconds every couple of minutes.

Because the roots are exposed to the air like the N.F.T. system, the roots will dry out rapidly if the misting cycles are interrupted.
