'Refrigerator' growing vegetables and fruits

If you want to make a salad but run out of greens, obviously you will have to go to a store or supermarket to buy it. But with Everblume, the hydroponic vegetable garden in the house, you just have to open this smart cabinet to have everything you need for your perfect salad.

According to Tech Insider, Everblume is a hydroponic garden , meaning that the tree will be grown in a nutrient-rich water environment instead of the usual soil. Everblume's internal conditions, from temperature to light, are fully controlled and controlled by the user's smartphone.

Using LEDs and an algorithm designed by Everblume development team.

Using LEDs and an algorithm designed by the Everblume development team, the system has the ability to automatically set ideal conditions for growing crops. Everblume will collect data on the development and adjustment of light, temperature, CO2 concentration and oxygen according to crop needs.

Everblume co-founder Mike Morgan said: " Everblume is still in the development phase and the team will start testing this summer."

With a height of 1.8m, width of 0.7m and depth of 0.9m, Everblume's prototype is about the same size as a normal refrigerator . Morgan and Aja Atwood, another Everblume co-founder, are still completing the product design process. So maybe Everblume will have a few changes before it goes to market.

To use it, first place the seed of the plant you want to grow in a sensor tray, add water and calcium magnesium solution to the reservoir. Then select the type of tree you want to grow in the phone application, choose "Start Growing" and this cabinet will set up the best environment for your tree.

If Everblume feels that your tree doesn't grow well, it will automatically adjust the conditions accordingly.

Where water is stored will provide nutrient-rich solutions for periodic crops. If you don't want to use Everblume's available nutrient solutions, you can replace it with your own. You can also choose to plant just one big tree or a few small trees.

Everblume connects via WiFi and allows you to control crop growth. Besides, you can also adjust the temperature or nutrient level yourself.

Currently, Morgan has not released Everblume's expected retail cost. They will only sell a limited amount next month, interested people can contact Morgan through Everblume's website. The development team also hopes to attract more investment on Kickstarter in September.

Atwood said Everblume can grow most fruits, vegetables or herbs. The team is currently experimenting with growing tomatoes and cherries. Subsequent tests will include herbs such as wild daisy, chrysanthemum and basil.

Tomato plants of the current group are about to flower. However, they are still not really sure about its productivity.

The advantage of hydroponics is the ability to plant trees in areas that are difficult to grow fresh fruits and vegetables. At the same time, this method also requires less planting space than the traditional farm model.

And there have been many similar models developing in cities around the world. A typical example is the Aerofarms start-up project that has begun production inside a hydroponic aquaculture facility of 6,400 square meters. This facility is capable of producing nearly 900 tons of green vegetables a year.

Another company, FarmedHere, is also building a network of high-rise farms (vertical indoor farming) on ​​a nationwide scale, including a 5,500 square meter farm in Louisville, Kentucky. In April, another startup, Infarm, also piloted a mini hydroponic garden inside a grocery store in Berlin.
