Mod’ponics
Modular hydroponics is a truly modular NFT (Nutrient Film Technique) hydroponics system that uses a wicking system to deliver nutrient rich water to the plants. The plants are grown in nylon powder SLS printed Plant Pods that are designed to be attached to the wick – cotton rope with an aluminium rod core – and deliver water to the roots inside and back onto the wick to the next Plant Pod.
The design of the water troughs and wicking system means it can be fixed anywhere so long as there is a water and electricity line. However, this is particularly designed for residential use, being fixed to the interior of the house – kitchen or living room – or the exterior – veranda or garden. Modular Hydroponics is designed to make home growing easier and accessible lowering the affects that extreme drought and flooding can have on Australian food supplies.
