Online system 'IP Garden' controls the whole cultivation process

Harvesting vegetables like in a computer game

Never again having dirty hands, no weeding, no toiling with heavy watering cans - and still end up with your own crisp fresh lettuce in your hands. The Internet and a clever idea by Martin Kruszka - the so-called IP gardener - are making it possible.

How does this system work? Interested parties lease a 16 square meter plot in a field outside, on the land. The online gardeners determine which vegetables to grow, when to fertilize and when to plant radishes, lettuce or kohlrabi. Everything is done conveniently through a computer, tablet or smartphone. The whole operation is as easy as a computer game.
