Rotofarm, the zero-gravity circular garden

Rotofarm, the idea of ​​an Australian startup, offers a circular internal garden with hydroponics that seems to come out of a space series.

There has never been a better time to grow your own herbs and vegetables at home, but limited space is an issue, especially in urban areas. Rotofarm, the idea of ​​an Australian startup, offers an indoor garden that looks like something out of a space series.

The demand is strong: and it is no coincidence that Rotofarm was funded in just 8 minutes on Indiegogo, where you can now pre-order the device.

Rotofarm, circular garden

This internal garden works by using the hydroponics and an innovative lighting system that allows plants to grow without soil and with less water.

The system requires the use of customized “capsules” containing the seeds. A bit like those of Nespresso for coffee. But these are 100% biodegradable coconut fiber, no plastic.

The ease of use of Rotofarm pursues the goal of growing fresh produce everywhere, regardless of space or light limits. For this the system is fully automated and controlled by an app. All you have to do is insert the capsules into the machine, they contain an optimized dose of seeds. Simply add water and pour the nutrients into a small tank at the base of the Rotofarm.

The circular design makes efficient use of space and the entire grow area revolves around a central light for constant and controlled lighting. In addition to giving each plant a fair amount of light, the rotation creates a “zero gravity” system, which allows the plants to grow faster than those of a traditional flat bed.

Kill, how much light

The light can be bright enough and perhaps disturb a little (although in the kitchen during the night a light can be useful) However, Rotofarm can be darkened with an optional cover, which reduces light pollution in the home and increases the humidity inside the garden.

And basil is served.
