FUN VEGETABLE PATCHES

The “Gitma Fun Vegetable Patch” is a large planter, containing a water tank, which means 100% of rain water and the surplus irrigation are used with a hand pump to extract the water. No utility connections needed.

A mixture of polyethylene and rice husks, a natural waste material that provides an organic component, has been incorporated into the manufacturing material. This combination not only utilises the volume of this waste, but also reduces the amount of raw material required.
