swedish design studio tomorrow machine has developed ‘microgarden’ for infarm, a minature flat-pack incubator for growing plants indoors. the kit contains a reusable and recyclable sheet of poly-propylene plastic which bends into a fully functioning greenhouse. to grow your own microgreens, simply apply the included transparent seaweed based agar-agar gel as a growing medium and the organic seeds. because it remains self-contained, and the roots absorb moisture from the gel, the plants never require watering.
to get your hands on one of these miniature farming incubators, check out the indigogo campaign here.

the transparent enclosure lets you see when the seeds sprout and when the roots begin to grow
creased walls divide the agar-agar gel in to six pieces, like cake slices
after 5-14 days the microgreens are ready to be enjoyed
the clear gel allows the user to see and experience the whole farming process
the kit consists of three items, a foldable greenhouse, organic seeds and agar-agar powder
