A new tool is giving new meaning to the term “homegrown.” A farm cube is being sold as a foolproof, high-tech gardening system that grows vegetables and other plants inside the home. You can even control the cube using an app on a smartphone or computer.
A Taipei-based company has developed the 1 meter by 2 meter, 85 centimeter tall enclosed ecosystem, designed to grow food indoors. The cube can grow between 100 and 200 vegetables every six weeks, depending on their size, said Jack Ting, chief executive officer of OPCOM, the company that developed the idea.
