Hydro-vermis is a vertical gardening tool that explores the future possibilities of closed-loop urban horticulture strategies. Integrating an earthworm tank into the hydroponic system aims to decrease organic waste and precious nutrients in common households. Earthworms transform this waste into a nutritious solution that benefits the vegetables growing in the hydroponic system. 

Compared to the existing hydroponic systems, Hydro-vermis’s vital design difference is eliminating the outsourced nutrients and decreasing domestic waste while providing every individual with their own food production system. Terrazzo from construction waste has been chosen for its recyclable nature and clean aesthetic.

The design aims to minimise the worm tank's unpleasant odour through stacked components; thus, it is perfectly suitable for indoor usage. The hydroponic system is also modularly designed to suit every buyer’s needs.
