When new urban farming setups are created they integrate either individual proprietary solutions or standard gardening components to set up acquire outer space that are originally meant for large - scale and commercial-grade operations . Urban land can come in in very diverse form , linguistic context , and locations , and build up those setups usually is quite unique in many aspects .
Aponix from Germany has made this their commission : Design and allow urban farming factor that can be used in modular way of life to help urban and vertical farm designer to be creative in their setups , save space and make striking appearance .
The first answer that is uncommitted in Version 3 is the 3-D - NFT or ‘ erect barrel ’ that works like a normal soilless gutter / NFT scheme but in the shape of big vertical cylinder . The exclusive barrel units are foregather level by adding a variable number of levels each providing more standard 2 ” net mint grow place . The units can be run in standalone mode like a US TowerGarden but also chained in a agency that the units drain the alimental solution to a central artificial lake . Aponix also provides an alternative reusable PlugPot , that can be used instead of the standard 2 ” net tidy sum . They are robust and reusable for young plant jade and also provide an optional alloy industrial plant trellis insert to produce larger harvest like vining or fruiting crops .
WallSystem - Montage
New solutionThe newest solution is a modular live WallSystem that offer a fundamental module that is mounted like shingles in rows and columns . Irrigation can be organise flexibly through multiple levels or alternatively in a recirculating way also with drain and fresh food in between rows or also drain - to - waste setup . The plantable part is present by its own independent obliterable Pot - Insert . The module has a reservoir function that can be used for stormwater retentivity . The system can be used indoors and outside and also as a dispenser for dwell works .
Components to set up urban farming grow space .
Both systems are already used by exploiter globally for very diverse purposes including tumid thought like participatory agriculture locations with share economies , educational setups to teach gardening or just provide more flora in vacant areas of your urban area .
Vertical Barrel / 3D - NFT
Aponix regards all their elements as being substructure ingredient and mainly knead with desegregation and intersection partners who want to integrate the components into more individual and finished and targeted solutions that they commercialise independently .
