Level up farming - Using spiral growing tubes in compact spaces

-
Take farming to the next level! I really like this idea from Whirligro a company which has products for vertical farming in compact spaces. Using spiral-shaped tubes to elevate food crops off the ground and greater yields like the ones in this picture.

Fast growing leafy crops are best used for the plastic tubes, and up to 30 plants can be squeezed into a one meter by one meter space. Watering can be done easily with a drip system.

Daniel Kish is a totally blind man who has transformed the world's perception of his "disability" into a super power. His story is truly amazing! Without sight, he uses sound to "see" his environment just like a bat does using sonar.
