Hydroponic Herb Garden

Since I am on this hydroponics kick, I couldn’t resist including this strangely beautiful Solar-Powered Hyrdoponic Herb Garden. The work was created by artists Ken Rinaldo and Amy Youngs as an imagined alternative to dependence on large scale petrofarms.

Local River

Local River is a home garden and aquarium for growing fresh meat and vegetables. Utilizing the process of aquaponics, the system is completely self-sustaining with the vegetables using the water from the tank to absorb nutrients and filter the water which is then recycled into the fish tank. It’s creator Mathieu Lehanneur designed Local River with Locavores in mind: “responding to the everyday need for fresh food that is 100% traceable.”
