Automated Indoor Urbanite Gardens

The Modgarden 'tinyFarm' Keeps Fresh Produce on Hand

— September 19, 2019 — Lifestyle
The Modgarden 'tinyFarm' automated indoor garden is an appliance for urban consumers who are looking for an easy, effective way to grow their own fresh produce from the comfort of home. The soil-based system works by growing organic produce in an automated fashion thanks to a simplified watering system that doesn't require users to continuously tend to the unit as it supports growth.

The Modgarden 'tinyFarm' automated indoor garden comes in three size options including the modCoffee, modFloor and the modCounter, which are all designed with small spaces in mind and stackable. The broad-spectrum LED system eliminates the need for natural light, while the unit itself is crafted from reclaimed and natural materials for an eco-friendly construction.
