The EcoQube 'Sprout' garden is a compact set of equipment for urban consumers to integrate into their kitchen to help ensure they always have nutritious micro greens on hand for consumption. The unit consists of 100% compostable fibers that will support seeds as they grow to ensure they are always steadily available when you need them. The stacking design of the garden means that users can keep as much or as little greenery as they desire on hand for themselves or their family to enjoy with their daily meals.
The EcoQube 'Sprout' garden will start growing greens in just 10 days and acknowledges the increasingly compact size of urban consumer homes where smaller gardening solutions are required to help inhabitants grow greens without the need for outdoor space.
