The Urb Garden: Produce for the Rest of Us

Over the last few years, home gardening, food production, and permaculture have rightfully gained the respect they deserve. And whether it’s a fad or not, home-grown produce is delicious, less expensive, and permits a smaller carbon footprint. But for those of use without the ability to dig up yards, build raised beds, or even employ window boxes, home food production can be a challenge, if not impossible. And though there are all sorts of indoor options, there aren’t too many that integrate well into one’s home decor.

Until now…

Picture 4Enter the Urb Garden: It’s a vertical home gardening solution (space-saving) that employs a cubby hole approach (geometric and modern) to grow green, leafing produce (delicious), and incorporates an integrated worm farm (awesome).

“Designer Xavier Calluaud illustrates the Urb Garden’s simple step-by-step process. Scraps of food are deposited into the worm farm, creating nutritious fertilizer. Water is added and the liquid fertilizer is delivered to the plants via a drip system. The water drains down the tank and then is pumped back up to be used with the next batch of fertilizer. As the plants grow, modular bins are easily removed for harvesting and re-potting.”
