Indoor gardening is a growing trend, particularly in urban areas where people don’t have yards, rooftops, or patio spaces, to cultivate their own herbs and veggies. There are many interesting indoor gardening devices and food harvesting systems that are perfect solutions for city residents with their small living spaces and offer a range of benefits to their health, wallet, and the planet’s future. One of these devices includes Solace – a circular microgarden.
Solace is a modular and sustainable solution to growing food in small spaces. It has a futuristic yet simple aesthetic, resembling a Dyson circular fan. The device makes growing microgreens more accessible while using minimal space and resources in the process. Why microgreens? Growing microgreens requires no pesticides, minimal land/soil, less water, reduced waste, and 40 times more nutritious in vitamin K, C, E, and more.
Solace features a microgreen growing system that uses wick moisture with a biostrate grow mat and automatic lighting, making it easy for beginners to start their home microgardens. The device is also integrated with an intuitive app that guides you through the plant’s life-cycle stages, including germination, growth, and harvesting. As a bonus, the growing light also serves as a pleasant ambient light or a night light.
The circular design increases the product’s functionality by using most of the available space; instead of spreading out further, it steers upwards at the ends. And on top of that, since the Solace is mounted on your wall, it saves countertop space too.
Other innovative indoor gardening devices include Tablefarm – a smart tabletop microgarden that grows your microgreens for you and the self-sustaining compost systems that double as planters.
Harvesting sustainable food isn’t limited to plants, vegetables, and fruits; bugs are also included in the mix. Bug farming could end world hunger and cut emissions, its environmentally-friendly, and sustainable. Mealworms and crickets, among many other bugs – are packed with protein – making them an ideal meat substitute. Several innovative indoor bug farming devices or kits allow users to harvest bugs at home, including the LIVIN farms desktop Hive.
