Enjoy crispy fresh lettuce, harvest flavoursome herbs every day, munch delicious microgreens at any time. Basil, watercress, pak choi... – urban farming and healthy food are the in-thing at the moment. If you don’t want to suffer flops on the balcony or window ledge, then put one of Agrilution’s Plantcubes in the kitchen – or wherever you have room in your apartment – because the design of this greenhouse unit also meets the most demanding requirements. Simply place a Seedbar in the unit, monitor its growth with the app and the rest happens automatically. It’s a very easy way to grow your own daily vitamin kick. No transport, no pesticides, all good.
Maximilian Lössl and Philipp Wagner are the green 'brains' behind the start-up Agrilution. Their idea of a vertical garden for the home was so convincing that in 2019 the company and its idea were taken over by Miele. Since then, they have offered numerous Seedbars for the Plantcube in the 'Dailies', 'Chefs', 'Essentials' and 'Balance' product lines. From basics such as rocket to unusual veggies such as tatsoi or wood dock, you can grow a wide variety of greens. The first harvest is ready a few weeks after planting and you can harvest daily for up to three months. The Plantcube is a closed ecosystem in which temperature, light and water are always in perfect equilibrium. The plants therefore grow faster, use 90% less water and contain three times as many nutrients. A smart complete system made up of hardware and seed-enriched substrate. The app tells the 'gardener' if the unit needs to be filled with water and when the salads are ready for harvesting. The Plantcube is also a stylish personal designer garden – a statement for modern cooking and an environmentally friendly lifestyle, because Agrilution ensures that production is high-quality, long-lasting and CO2-neutral at the same time. Waste is deliberately avoided when using a Plantcube. Apart from a little scrap paper and compost, there’s no waste; plastic is taboo. You can enjoy sustainable and healthy gourmet delights and open the door to culinary artistry. From a simple green smoothie to a set meal with several courses, everything is possible. Recipes from the Agrilution website provide inspiration: why not try 'crispy stir-fry tofu' or 'farfalle with kale and almond pesto'? It’s a bon appétit from Agrilution!
