A HydroVeg Kit® is an easy way of growing healthy veg outdoors, 365 days a year, with no digging, weeding, pesticides, slugs or snails, NO SOIL and minimal watering. It provides households and schools with a green way to grow a high yield veg and flowers. It is perfect for small gardens, people with disabilities, schools, people with no time for gardening, or those who only have a balcony.
The HydroVeg Kits® is vertical taking up little space in a garden or school and sits on an easy to assemble frame. The Kit® comes as a flat packed unit.
It uses 80% less water than an ordinary garden or allotment, which was fabulous during the heatwave and exceptionally hot summer we had this year. It doesn’t stop there – The Kits grow veg all year round.
We aim to; introduce healthy eating to the normal family and garden area, create awareness of easier and faster ways to their own grow food, introduce hydroponic gardening to schools as part of the curriculum and - engage schools in growing healthy veg as part of their science and food syllabus.
Our bigger goal is to get HydroVeg Kits® into the developing world, as the food grows quickly, is off the ground, uses less water and will sustain a school or families. To do this 5% of our income is set aside for R&D to create the two specific technologies we require.
Winning the Coventry Telegraph New Business of the Year Award has been brilliant as it tells local people what we are doing out there to make a difference to the environment, health and education.
