Sow, harvest and eat

HOW IT WORKS?


Vertical farm technology uses the plants’ skill to grow naturally within a nutrient solution. Plants receive the necessary energy for photosynthesis from special LED lamps. Moreover, the climatic conditions inside homes and the isolation from external environment keep away weeds, pathogens and insects.

Ventilation system: A constant air flow enters through specific openings placed on the back wall. Air circulation also creates the perfect balance of inner temperature.

Temperature: Minifarm is equipped with double walls injected with insulating stuff for an excellent insulation from external climate. An air conditioner or a heater can be provided for the best regulation on internal temperature in case of exterme conditions.

Light: Your Minifarm is provided with two types of lamps: Type A is perfect for leafly green products. Type B has been selected for fruit vegetables. The automation system allows you to manage the lighting schedule based on the desidered photoperiod and the activation cycles of water pumps.

HOW YOU USE IT?

  • Three cultivation tubs where you can place the cultivation baskets

Baskets must be placed on the upper edge of cultivation tub. The quantity and position depend on the size of the product you want to grow. Covers will be provided to close the basket without seed so that light cannot get into the area where roots are developing.

  • The short basket is for a single plant (head of salad , cabbage, basil, tomato etc. ). Place a substrate block (provided together with Microfarm) at the bottom of the basket and moisten it with a small amount of water. Sow the seed in the substate and ..... wait. After a month you can harvest and eat ! You can also place a fully grown plant,. Be careful to remove all dirt , place in the substrate block and ....wait.

  • The long basket is for cut products ( lettuce, arugula, radishes etc.) . Follow the same steps used for short basket. Moisten the substrate, place the seeds in a row along the groove of the substrate and....wait.
