Greenhouse Park of University of Thessaly a groundbreaking experiment will be set up, putting the cascade hydroponic system to the test.<\/p>\n<p>By harnessing the drainage from a primary beef tomato crop, a secondary cherry tomato crop will be grown with minimal environmental impact.<\/p>\n<p>Less water, fewer fertilisers, but just as much deliciousness!<\/p>\n<p>The goal is to yield cherry
