Another home hydroponic kit looking for crowdfunding

Home vertical farming seems to be becoming a bit of a trend. Now, an Austrian company has launched a Kickstarter campaign. Ponix Systems promises to bring fresh organic vegetables, herbs and fruits into everyone's home. Herbert, the hydroponic vertical farm, makes indoor gardening as simple and clean as possible. Starting today you can order your Herbert.

To become an urban farmer simply put a seed into one of the biodegradable sponges, which are also used by NASA, and place it in Herbert. Add water and bio mineral fertilizer to the tank and watch your food grow. “By growing your own food you have full transparency of what you eat and you can reduce your food waste too,” says Alex Penzias, Co-founder Ponix Systems.

“I love the excitement of my cooking class students when they use fresh herbs from our Ponix Systems indoor garden to give their creations the final touch,” says chef Leo Wrenkh, vegetarian food pioneer and owner of the Viennese top restaurant Wrenkh.

Herbert is available in different wood finishes. Herbert sells at Kickstarter for 299 EURO / 323 USD. That’s 40 percent cheaper than the planned retail price.
