In addition to all these improvements, fogponic watering has a
very special effect to the roots - explosive hair root growth, a
maximized oxygen uptake, and a faster metabolism. Indeed,
the first findings about fogponic growth of strawberries by
Michio Kanechi in Kobe University in Japan, where the reason
that our founder Martin Peter started to be interested -
actually amazed - by the potential of fogponics for indoor
farming.
The first findings showed exceptional results: A three times
higher fruit count on strawberries at the same time as a 25 %
higher sugar content!
So far we can only confirm these results in all other plants we
tested, including a variety of leafy greens and even tobacco.
The quality of the plants is exceptional, especially concerning
the roots. Kanechi, M., Hikosaka, Y., Fukuda, C., & Uno, Y. (2017). Ever-bearing strawberry culture using a
new
1. Fogponics
ultrasonic, efficient and water saving - fogponics allows new farms to operate on levels never seen before
2. Less Maintenance and Parts
Through replacing pressutized systems with fog, we don't need faulty parts anymore - while also cooling the plants simultaneously

4.Less Costs
By employing fog as an irrigation method we can avoid many problems of usual farming system - Mainly we don't need to carry a lot of heavy loads any more and can benefit from the possibility to employ lighter structures and concepts
5. More surface area
Through switching from flat shapes to round ones, we can optimize the planting density and the surface area of the farm
6. Better Heat and humidity management
Allowing heat and humidity to rise and exit the farm freely - using physics to ou advantage.
9. More light
By trapping the light source effiiciently in the middle of the planters, we avoid waste of light.
