ℹ️ About Us

We are a small team of agronomists, product designers and urban agriculture practitioners who specialise in compact, high-efficiency growing systems for households and small properties. Our practice grew from practical experimentation with rooftop and balcony agriculture: we iterated on tray spacing, water delivery cycles and companion crops until simple, low-maintenance configurations produced reliably high yields. That applied knowledge is embedded in every kit and installation we deliver. We prefer robust, proven techniques—modular ebb-and-flow trays, recirculating micro-irrigation, and crop rotations geared to small footprints—rather than experimental fads that break quickly under real-world use.

Each project begins with a short assessment: exposure, available square footage, access to water, and preferences for crop types. From there we propose a configuration with clear yield expectations, a planting calendar and a small pack of starter seed and media chosen for local conditions. During installation our technicians adjust rack heights, fine-tune irrigation drip rates, and set timers or passive shading according to sun angles. After handover, we provide simple, illustrated care notes and a short period of remote agronomy support to troubleshoot early growth phases and ensure success.

Our promise

We deliver systems that save time, reduce waste, and give families direct access to fresh, nutritious produce without needing large gardens or heavy labour.

⭐ Company Advantages

Six core strengths that make our micro-farm solutions pragmatic and dependable for home growers and small properties.

Site-Adaptive Design & Realistic Yield Forecasts

We base every proposed installation on a concise site assessment that factors orientation, shading patterns, seasonal sun paths, roof or balcony loading limits, plumbing availability, and the owner's consumption goals. Rather than promising vague yields, we produce straightforward, room-by-room or tray-by-tray expectations that estimate harvest weight and frequency for the crops selected. These forecasts incorporate conservative buffers for variable weather, occupant patterns, and likely pest pressure in urban settings. This level of pragmatic forecasting helps homeowners match system scale to real needs and avoid disappointment from overly optimistic claims. Our recommended crop lists and planting calendars are adapted to local climate windows, helping operators harvest more reliably across the year.

Proven Water-Conserving Methods & Media Choices

Water efficiency is vital for small systems and the families that depend on them. We employ recirculating micro-irrigation, capillary mats, and optimized media mixes that retain moisture while allowing root oxygenation. Our media specifications balance water-holding capacity, drainage and nutrient retention so that feeding schedules remain simple while water waste is minimised. Where plumbing is limited we design gravity-fed or timed cistern solutions with auto-shut valves and fail-safes to protect both plants and property. By choosing water-wise components we reduce operational cost and environmental impact without sacrificing yield quality.

Modular Kits — Serviceable & Upgradeable

Our micro-farm kits are intentionally modular: individual racks, trays, pumps and electronic controllers are replaceable and upgradable. This contrasts with sealed "all-in-one" assemblies that fail without repair options. Modular parts shorten repair times and let users expand capacity gradually as confidence grows. We supply spare-part lists that local technicians can source and provide clear exploded diagrams so basic repairs—pump swaps, hose replacement or tray seal resealing—can be performed without specialist tools. This design approach reduces lifecycle cost and keeps systems running longer with less waste.

Hands-On Onboarding & Practical Grower Training

New growers receive a practical onboarding session that covers essential routines: simple nutrient dosing, pruning cycles, harvest timing and common-sense sanitation. Training is delivered on-site and augmented with concise illustrated guides so busy households can follow routines without needing advanced horticultural expertise. We emphasise "minimum effective actions"—small, regularly performed tasks that disproportionately improve yield and reduce failures—so even those with limited time can achieve steady production. Ongoing troubleshooting support is available if unexpected pest or disease issues arise.

Sustainable Material Choices & Reuse Pathways

Materials are selected for durability and low environmental impact: recyclable plastics for trays, inert media blends that can be composted or reused, and fittings that avoid single-use disposables. Where possible we recommend reclaimed timber for supportive frames and modular insulation solutions that can be disassembled at end-of-life. Nutrient solutions are formulated for minimal residues and biodegradable packaging options are offered for refill shipments. These choices make the overall system more circular and reduce hidden environmental costs associated with frequent replacements.

Integrated Crop Planning & Seasonal Adjustments

We don't just hand over hardware: our service includes tailored crop plans that help users sequence plantings to maintain a steady supply of salad greens, herbs, and select vegetables. Plans cover succession planting schedules, compatible companion crops, and periodic system rests to avoid nutrient imbalances and pest cycles. Seasonal adjustments—light schedule changes, minor temperature management tips, and humidity controls—are provided to maintain consistent production when external conditions shift. This integrated planning reduces waste and keeps small systems productive across changing seasons.

🛠 Services

We deliver a range of services from initial design to long-term agronomy support. Each offering is structured to minimise owner time investment while maximising predictable outcomes and steady harvest flow. Choose single-service options or subscribe to a seasonal care plan that bundles inspections, replenish kits and priority support.

Site Survey & Custom Configuration

A concise on-site evaluation (or remote video survey where appropriate) measures available space, light, access to water and weight-bearing limits. The resulting recommendation document presents a tailored configuration, estimated yields, installation notes and a clear bill of materials. Clients receive a simple project timeline and an optional installer quote if they prefer professional assembly.

Turn-Key Kit Supply & Assembly

We pack and ship modular kits with pre-assembled racks where possible, labelled components and illustrated assembly instructions. Our installation teams can assemble kits and perform initial commissioning on-site—setting irrigation cycles, filling reservoirs and performing a crop-start checklist so the system is ready to plant on handover day.

Crop Planning, Starter Seed Packs & Media

We curate seed packs and media blends matched to the chosen system and local climate. Crop plans include staggered sowing schedules for continuous harvest, recommended fertiliser items with dosing guidance, and seed rotation notes to avoid monotony and pest buildup. Starter packs simplify the first few cycles for new growers.

Commissioning, Calibration & First-Harvest Support

After installation we run system commissioning: verify pump flows, calibrate emitters, balance nutrient delivery and run an initial growth check to ensure seedlings establish. We stay connected through first harvest to make timely adjustments and share hands-on tips to secure repeatable early success.

Maintenance Plans & Seasonal Re-tuning

Scheduled visits include filter changes, pump checks, media refresh where needed, and drip-line flushing. Seasonal re-tuning adapts timings, nutrient concentration and shading to changing light and temperature conditions—preserving yield stability year-round.

Remote Agronomy & Troubleshooting Support

Remote support is available via short video consultations where home growers share images or footage of plant issues and receive targeted, illustrated advice. This service reduces unnecessary site visits and helps rapid resolution of early pest, nutrient imbalance or environmental issues.
