Created to help take the guesswork out of gardening – enabling the home gardener to grow meaningful quantities of organic quality food easier than they ever thought possible. The Honeycomb Hydro-Soil Garden System was designed to grow traditionally in soil or using hydroponic technology.
The Honeycomb Garden System can be a “Victory Garden” experience for people of any age or experience level, who have chosen to reduce food travel from thousands of miles to just steps from the kitchen.
An eco-friendly system of raised planters produced from repurposed plastics arranged by the user to fit in numerous configurations in any space.
It’s more than a garden. With a multi-cluster configuration fitted with a sun shade cover and party lights, it creates an outdoor family room. Your garden will offer a place to entertain and relax, while growing meaningful quantities of organic quality food. A great way to enjoy time away from the office, video games, internet and TV.
If you can lift a bag of soil, you can assemble the garden in minutes…with no tools.
With optional equipment and controls, the AquaJet can be used for water-filling, maintaining desired water level, and aeration. The water drainage pipes are not used in this scenario. For additional hydroponic information see a detailed PDF here.

Gardening while standing up reduces physical stress on knees, back and hips.
Traditional gardening at ground level leaves space between rows for walking and rototillers.
All that space allows for weeds which must be managed. A raised bed allows for intensive gardening, leaving inches between rows
instead of feet and little room for weeds. Instead of weeds choking out your plants, your plants choke out the weeds.
Allows access to the garden at waist height with the ability to stand or sit while gardening.
Every container can be reached from one spot within each cluster.
Its raised height keeps plants safer by eliminating most ground-borne invaders
You can grow anywhere in the yard, on the patio or deck, on the roof…and with indoor grow lights on your garage or basement floor.
Many people are attracted to products made of repurposed plastics.
After multiple prototypes, the Honeycomb Garden System evolved into a shape borrowed from the hexagon, which in turn led to trapazoid-shaped containers which allow for space-efficient configurations.
This grocery bag of organic produce harvested once or twice a week (depending on your garden size) contains: 5 tomatoes, 4 squash, 3 zucchini, 2 lb. green beans, 2 eggplant, 5 green peppers, 5 cucumbers, 1 lb. kale, 1/2 lb. basil, 2 lb. green chili peppers, 1 lb. spinach, 1 bunch of bok choy.
Growing your own organic quality food eliminates the need to shop for produce at box stores.
As a family activity, gardening leads to an understanding of organic production while conserving resources.
An organic garden yielding quality food for consumption while also turning an everyday garden into an outdoor family room. With soil and hydroponic gardening flexibility, the Honeycomb Garden System offers versatility and technology.
A smartphone app links a hydrometer, timer, temperature gauge, camera, and an alarm for easy monitoring and control from anywhere.
Versatility in size and shape allows gardeners to grow fresh food in manageable quantities that match their needs.
The sub-irrigation system reduces evaporation thereby minimizing the amount of water needed to sustain the garden, also enabling communities with limited water to grow fresh produce.
With the global food supply in trouble (rise in population = greater demand for food. More people, more money, more consumption) communities can feel the benefit of “doing their part.” Feeding the world begins at home.
Reducing water usage by 80% with the Aqua Jet subsurface irrigation system. Evaporation is eliminated when the water has no exposure to air or sunlight – liquid fertilizer can be added through the same system.
A timer allows watering in regular small amounts with water sourced from a hose bib. A hydrometer measures the perfect moisture.
The planter will not rot or decompose over time like wood, resulting in a maintenance free product.
An optional “Green House” lid allows for early spring seed starting, eliminating costly store-bought plants. It also allows late season protection of many plants. Garden covers protect the soil from wind-blown weed seeds.
Plant supports, bird netting, sunscreens, greenhouse and after season covers, greenhouse ventilation, seed blankets, electronic scarecrow, smart phone app linking hydrometer, timer, temperature gauge, garden camera, and full-size shade canopy are some of the accessories.
