Food Security

gardenizly® is a water-efficient vegetable gardening technology that uses minimal amounts of water to produce leafy vegetables without the use of fertilizers. The system uses 14 bags of potting soil, which are poured into the tank, and seedlings are planted into 56 holes. It is watered only once on a weekly basis. The solution is space-saving, allowing for a garden even in the smallest yard. It is designed to fight food insecurity and adapt to climate change. Gardenizly is fully patented in accordance with the South African Patent Act 57 of 1978.
