About Ba's Garden Kompakta Dīgšanas Pieredze

Ba's Garden koncepcija sasniedz savu mērķi ar ilgtspējīgu projektu, integrējot audzēšanu pilsētvides telpās. Izmantojot pilnībā automatizētu hidroponisko tehnoloģiju, projekts audzē mikrozaļumus par 25-50 procentiem ātrāk, samazinot ūdens un enerģijas patēriņu un minimizējot pārtikas atkritumus. Kompaktas, modulāras, videi draudzīgas sistēmas padara to pieejamu visiem ar bezeemu metodi un pašapūdeņošanas sistēmu, augu saknes nepārtraukti aug režģa paplātē, efektīvi nodrošinot augstas kvalitātes uzturvielas. Produkti ir izstrādāti, lai nevainojami iekļautos mājas interjera telpās ar smalkjūtīgu, dabīgu un draudzīgu dizaina valodu.

Unique Properties: Ba's garden is an innovative urban living solution that employs state-of-the-art soilless and self-watering techniques. This cutting-edge system utilizes a grid tray to enable plants' root systems to grow continuously, ensuring a reliable supply of high-quality nutrition. Additionally, it's also useful for germinating sprouts and microgreens that are abundant with essential nutrients that promote good health.
Dimensions & Packaging: Width: 190 mm x Depth: 190mm x Height: 180mm

Production Technology: This component, comprising low and high pots and a germination-friendly tray, is crafted from Earthenware for resilience against environmental and temperature variations, maintaining optimal moisture for small seeds. The tray facilitates sprouting, retaining water for germination. Its adaptable grid accommodates seeds of any size, ensuring gradual water provision throughout germination, making additional watering unnecessary. A self-sufficient system, it streamlines the growth process.
Design Challenge: The challenge in designing the project stems mainly from the intricacies of existing germination tools. The setup of these tools involves a diverse array of materials like soil, hydrated mats, LED lights, and spray cans, resulting in excessive water and material usage throughout the entire sprouting process. Additionally, it is challenging to find comprehensive kits for different seed sizes, posing an additional hurdle. Ensuring precise germination through various methods has proven difficult, especially during the Rinse and Drain cycles, where meticulous attention is essential to prevent the potential danger of bacterial contamination, which could rapidly escalate during the sprouting process.
Research: The project employs the following methods: problem identification, research, interviews, visual design, ceramics, and low-fi/high-fi prototyping.
Inspiration: Future farming demands adapting human behavior for environmental harmony. Urbanization harms ecosystems, large-scale farming imperils biodiversity. Sustainable cities require changed resource usage. Self-sufficient gardening addresses space constraints, mitigates food crises. Ba's Garden integrates farming into cities with automated hydroponics for eco-friendly, rapid microgreen growth. Accessible modular systems provide a transformative urban agriculture solution.
Project Duration: The project started in September 2022 in Lund and finished in December 2023. It was exhibited at the Stockholm Furniture Fair in February 2023.
Operation Flow: The user-friendly and compact sprouting device is crafted for easy use with readily available materials. It features a simple installation process, operates without the need for soil, demands minimal watering, and is ideal for constrained spaces. This device excels in shaded areas at room temperature, constructed with sustainable materials for all its components. Users can relish the joy of growing plants with minimal time and effort, allowing harvesting within 5-7 days.
