Re-Watering

Re-Watering is a simple, innovative system for growing plants indoors. It consists of three ceramic ovules and a column, along with a clever water-recycling mechanism that continuously irrigates a small vegetable garden. Most of the components are handmade and self-produced.
This system allows you to cultivate your own small kitchen garden, growing herbs like mint, basil, and lettuce, as well as strawberries and ornamental plants, all year round in your home or workspace. It takes up minimal space and provides fresh vegetables and aromatic plants on demand.

Re-Watering is a closed system, meaning it doesn’t pollute the environment. It reduces the need for pesticides and weedkillers, while also purifying the air. Through photosynthesis, plants release oxygen and absorb carbon dioxide, and many can remove common household pollutants like formaldehyde, ammonia, and benzene from paints, cleaners, smoke, and electronics. Beyond its environmental benefits, Re-Watering enhances your well-being by improving air quality and fostering concentration. The gentle sound of water creates a relaxing atmosphere, further boosting focus during study or work.
