Alternatives Containers

Imagine being able to get fresh vegetables from your rooftop, balcony terrace. With our Alternatives Containers, it’s not that hard to imagine! After lengthy experimentation toward finding the most suitable means of greening paved surfaces, our unique container garden method was adopted.

Equipped with a 14 L water reservoir at the bottom of the container, our Alternatives Containers give their plants a constant supply of oxygen and water, thus increasing their growing potential. This technique offers several advantages for the urban gardener:

• Makes use of household compost.
• Can last up to 4 days without the water reservoir being replenished.
• Easy to move and adapt.
• Good quality soil is guaranteed.
• Affordable.
