Thirty-five plants. One square foot of floor.
Most people who want to grow their own food run out of space long before they run out of enthusiasm. A balcony fits two pots. A windowsill fits one. A raised bed needs a garden you don't have.
This tower grows up instead of out. Ten stacked tiers, thirty-five planting sites, standing on a base that takes up about one square foot — roughly the footprint of a kitchen bin. Lettuce, basil, kale, spinach, parsley, mint, strawberries, chilli. All of it at once, all of it within reach.
How it works
A quiet submersible pump sits in the ten-litre reservoir at the base and lifts water to the top of the column. From there it rains down through every tier and drains back into the tank. Roots get water and air on every pass, which is the reason hydroponic plants tend to grow faster than the same seed in soil.
You are not watering thirty-five plants. You are topping up one tank.
Built to be lived with
- Ten litres in the reservoir — a full tank lasts days, not hours
- Check the level without lifting anything — a clear gauge on the outside, marks moulded inside
- Fill it without a mess — a collapsible funnel sits on the lid
- Assembles without tools — tiers key together, one pressing into the next
- Add or remove tiers — run it shorter on a windowsill, taller on the balcony
