'Little Crop Circles' is a high-density planter that allows consumers to grow more food in less space. While many people enjoy growing their own food, this can be a difficult task for those who do not have any outdoor space. This device makes it possible for consumers to grow crops in as little space as possible.
Little Crop Circles is comprised of a circular planter and a specially designed irrigation system. The device allows for more precise watering by providing short bursts of water. This irrigation system helps hydrates the plant without exposing it to the harmful effects of overhead watering. As a result, the system allows for denser plantings and higher crop yields. The system ultimately allows urban dwellers to grow more food with a smaller amount of water.
The company is currently running an Indiegogo campaign to manufacture the high-density planters on a commercial scale.
