Schedule a watering shift
Reserve your own watering schedule for the summer, when you water all the boxes at once.
If you have to cancel a shift, ask the Whatsapp group for help.
Watering is best done in the morning or evening when it is cooler.
If it rains, you don't need to water. Heaven will take your turn.
There are watering cans on site.
Vision 2030:
Urban agriculture produces 30% of our daily needs. and it has positive effects on people and the environment.
In the future, new technologies could be used in cities to professionally produce food for the needs of the residents. We strive towards this vision by developing new delivery models, technologies and networks.
We are creating a new culture of urban food production.
