AQUA, created by OG Design, is a contained and sustainable gardening system. The compost system lets people curate their own self-sustaining indoor garden. AQUA is composed of a container for food waste, an elevated light structure, and three soil pots. The system turns food waste into fertilizer for the soil pots, as Yanko Design details:
OG Design conceptualized AQUA in order to “[keep] food from entering landfills” and for users “to cultivate their own small vegetable garden,” because food accounts for 46.2% of combustible waste. The interest in gardening, especially indoor gardening, and sustainable living is rising with younger generations as city living becomes more popular. In urban spaces, ecologically conscious living is tricky as there’s less yard space and community gardens can be hard to come by. AQUA makes sustainable living possible for any city home, from the small efficiency studio to the three-story townhouse. As long as you’ve got a kitchen counter or windowsill, your personal vegetable garden awaits.
