Useful garden accessories printed by 3D printer. Jun.23, 2013 3D printing has enabled designer Evan Gant to take the manufacturing process into his own hands for the creation of some useful garden accessories. 1) 3D-Printed Aqueduct Planters You don't need a plot of land to grow plants.

A lot of plants can be adapted to growing in a pot. Gant's 3D printed mini planter system allows for the creation of unique configurations. You can now get them on Shapeways for €69.77, individual planters are also available for €8.37 (Single Channel) and €9.30 (Double Channel). 2) 3D-Printed Sprout 3D printed sprout allows for the repurposing of plastic milk jugs into useful watering cans.

Brains for your Garden by Evolved Agriculture. The local food movement has been steadily picking up momentum.

Brains for your Garden by Evolved Agriculture

Across the country small scale agriculture has been springing up in backyards and rooftops, basements and attics, abandoned warehouses and vacant lots. HarvestGeek is building a comprehensive set of resources for the Urban and not-so-urban Farmer. The Modern Farmer's Almanac. We've built a sophisticated, yet easy to use device that will help remove the guesswork for new farmers and provide automation and optimization features for those more experienced. The device is deployed in your farm or garden to monitor the key environmental conditions for improving your yield. HarvestGeek is your key to unlocking plant yield potential. Once configured HarvestGeek will automatically notify you based on the information being received from HarvestBot. For example, you can set the desired temperature range and turn on a fan should temperatures get too high, or off should they get too low.

In order to do this we are using open source technology to build sensors, which are connected to the internet and provide 24 hour data. From the sensors the user will get data about the humidity, the temperature and about the amount of light. Alerts are triggered if the humidity or the temperature are too low or high. By additional data (amount of crop, amount of work etc) from the users each and every garden will have its own history and data visualization to provide useful information, which crops are good to sow. //HUN Projektünk használaton kívüli kiskertek hasznosítását támogatja környezeti adatokkal.

La serre délimitera un espace d’expérimentations, un laboratoire d’agriculture urbaine : MICRO-FARMS. L’eau circule en circuit fermé dans le système : les excréments des poissons sont dégradés par des bactéries dans le bac épuratif. Transformés en sels minéraux, ils serviront d’engrais aux plantes. Filtrée par les plantes, l’eau revient finalement dans le bassin des poissons. . • effectuer un gain d’énergie, l’eau étant plus facile à chauffer que l’air • éviter l’évaporation, l’eau circulant dans des tubes. • rejeter aucune eau usée dans l’environnement. La ferme-container a aussi un objectif pédagogique auprès des consommateurs en demande de sens : le cycle symbiotique de l’aquaponie montre que rien ne se perd dans la Nature, les déchets des uns deviennent les nutriments des autres.

Du 4 avril au 4 mai 2012 Du lundi au vendredi de 10h à 18h. Open Source Ecology. Open Everything Land. Open Energy. Kits. Plantduino Greenhouse. Introduction: This project is in the instructables microcontroller contest.

Plantduino Greenhouse

If you enjoy it, please vote here! If we win we will begin construction on a solar earth roving robot. Disclaimer: This project uses high voltages! We are currently adapting the instructions to to run the control board and relays on DC power from batteries. This is the new schematic for DC relay control: The battery is over 12 volts. My name is Clover and I am in love with vascular plants and robots. This summer I wanted to combine my two loves of plant science and engineering. I have constructed an automated watering and temperature system. I want to document this project on Revolt Lab so that anyone who is also in love with vascular (or nonvascular) plants can join me and we can nerd out together!

Step 1: Plant Science One facet of this project is to grow my own vegetables and do some scientific experiments. Greenhouses There are a lot of reasons that I am building a greenhouse. Gardening: Plant Nutrients. Festival de basura. Trash research.
