He is about to end up run over, his mother saves himIl gardening coi Lego. Garden lovers, prick up your ears. Using the recycled plastic for food use, the startup TogetherFarm has produced special bricks to build a 1,2 × 1,2 meter box in which to grow your own greenery.
A convenient solution, adaptable to any space since it is customizable in the assembly, particularly suitable for those who have spent hours building their own beds of ground raised from the ground. But it is also a way funny to create your own garden or urban vegetable garden, why not, together with your children.
With just one kit, you can build a square of approximately 1,2 meters per side and 6 cm deep in just 5 minutes without using tools. Unlike treated wood which can release harmful chemicals into the soil, TogetherFarm blocks are made of lightweight and durable food grade plastic to ensure the absence of harmful chemicals.
Produced in the United States, precisely in Portland, the bricks are functional, user-friendly, and adaptable even to the narrowest corners but also to roofs and windowsills, which can be transformed into mini-gardens. The blocks are designed to be assembled without measuring tape and hammer and they can be easily moved or disassembled and reconfigure.
"We originally started with the idea of a product sharing site," he said one of the three founders Doug Holcomb “Digging deeper we realized that there were quite a few obstacles for people wanting to build their own urban gardens. Shape and size are among them and often people do not have at their disposal a truck to transport materials, saws to cut wood ".
I bricks instead they go assembled like the classic Lego. They are made from a special food-grade recycled plastic from the United States and processed into blocks there. By their very nature, once they reach the end of their life cycle they are 100% recyclable.
After the success achieved at the beginning of the year with the campaign on Kickstarter, the bricks of TogetherFarm are already for sale on the site. Prices vary according to the type and size: it starts at around 50 dollars.
