'Auk,' a Norwegian company focused on gardening solutions, has released 'The EverGrow,' a fully automated indoor garden. The EverGrow automatically waters and feeds up to 15 different plant types, as it has pre-programmed instructions on how much lighting, water, and nutrients these plants need. Seeds can be purchased from Auk or other retailers, as the system does not require any proprietary seeds.
The EverGrow can be instructed on which seed has been planted in it, such as tomatoes or cucumbers, and it will adjust the growth properties accordingly. Even the light on The EverGrow is adjustable to be warmer, cooler, or more neutral, as different plant types benefit from different lighting environments. All users have to do in order to ensure a reliable supply of crops is refill the water and nutrient containers. Additionally, the packaging that Auk ships its products in is fully recyclable, while the indoor garden itself contains a large percentage of renewable materials.
