Conventional vs. urbanhive

With urbanhive, indoor gardening is easier than ever. With our innovative indoor garden systems, you bring fresh, healthy herbs and vegetables straight into your kitchen – all year round and whatever the weather.

Forget heavy garden work

  • Conventional: Digging, turning the soil, lifting and making planting holes – that costs time and energy.

  • With urbanhive: Simply insert the capsules and you can practically sit back. No heavy lifting or digging needed.

No more daily watering

  • Conventional: Watering, always staying on guard so your plants don't dry out – or get drowned.

  • With urbanhive: Automatic watering ensures your plants always get exactly the right amount of water – there's nothing left for you to do​.

Never weed again

  • Conventional: Hours of weeding to keep the weeds under control.

  • With urbanhive: No weeds, no weeding – just healthy, strong plants without unwanted guests.

Pest control is a thing of the past

Conventional: A constant battle against pests with chemicals and traps.

With urbanhive: Protected indoor growth without pests that could attack your plants​.

No dependence on weather and season

Conventional: Plants only grow in the right season and in good weather. As a rule, you can only harvest once a year.

With urbanhive: Year-round growing – whether winter or summer, your plants thrive at any time and you can harvest as often as you like.
