Hydroponic System

AIP include Hydroponic system to indigo coltivation.

Currently, the number of indigo farmers is declining, largely due to the limited compensation relative to the demanding labor involved. The rise in the price of indigo also impacts both indigo artisans and the final product price. Therefore, I propose a hydroponic cultivation method that utilizes the unique qualities of Japanese indigo (Persicaria tinctoria). Although hydroponic farming requires an initial investment, it offers stable maintenance costs and allows for vertical cultivation, making it feasible even in urban spaces. I hope that by involving more people in cultivation, we can establish a sustainable supply system for indigo

This hydroponic system allows for the cultivation of indigo plants with water recirculation. The vertical structure saves land space, making it suitable for urban landscapes or private spaces.

An expandable connection system is applied to this construction, allowing it to be adjusted to fit your space.
