NEW from Stripe

Plant parenting is no joke. A lot of effort goes into keeping those babies alive and thriving, let alone healthy enough that you can have them on your dinner plate. Farmer’s markets and organic options are great (albeit rather pricy), but there’s a certain level of pride and satisfaction that goes into growing your own food.

MULTO is one project that’s working to bring that to the everyday consumer as a compact shelf. The technology behind MULTO, called “ebb and flow,” is similar to tides in the ocean where the water level rises and falls at regular intervals. With MULTO, this happens thanks to an automatically activated submerged pump. This creates a continuous circulation around the roots, enriching them with nutrients and oxygen with each cycle. Mael Thomas, GM of Prêt à Pousser (parent company) shares that “the special sun-mimicking grow lights and our own liquid nutrients will get up to 200% more yield than other traditional solutions.”

The personal indoor farm allows you to grow up to 60 plants, ranging from standard vegetables and herbs to root plants like radishes. The team has surpassed its initial crowdfund campaign goal which ends on Sunday and is currently at $340k+.

If you’re not ready yet to go all-in and have a fully-fledged shelf, take some baby steps and learn more with these products.
