Growing with plant capsules is very easy:
Simply place the capsule in one of your free plant baskets and in a few weeks you can enjoy your first harvest.
Due to the special design of the plant basket, the capsule is always supplied with the right amount of water. This way, your plant can neither dry out nor be overwatered.
Hand-picked seed selection
When hand-selecting our seeds, we prioritize organic seeds that ensure a full-bodied flavor in the plants and are highly digestible. We focus on the best seed quality and regionality. Before the seeds finally make it into our assortment, they are extensively tested by our plant teams.
Insert and enjoy
The capsules provide the seeds with their perfect environment. The capsules are made of natural materials and are peat-free. They have an ideal pH value and are free of pesticides, fungicides, and all that other stuff. Best of all, they permanently retain their shape. For complete convenience, we ensure that they are already enriched with mineral fertilizer and even contain the seeds. That's why we fill them here in Münster/Hiltrup.
Healthier and Fresher
30 Seconds
Growing with homefarm, harvesting, and direct consumption ensure a multiple of nutrients in herbs, microgreens, and salads. This can even be up to 70 times more. This also has positive effects on taste and freshness.
Weeks
Herbs from the supermarket often have a long journey behind them after harvesting or are overloaded with fertilizers. In addition, there are temperature fluctuations, storage times, and stresses. All of this has negative effects on nutrients, taste, and freshness.
Long harvest vs. wilting plastic pot
The capsule technology of the homefarm ensures a very long lifespan for your plants. Compared to herb pots from the supermarket, it is on average 4 times longer.
Sustainable
Achieving something great together
Positive impact for people and
nature, plant by plant. The plant capsules and the homefarm ensure a very sustainable cultivation method.
The urbanhive community has so far saved 9,000,000 transport kilometers, 288,000 liters of water and 0.2 tons of single-use plastic.
And this is just the beginning. The more people participate, the greater the impact. Above all, people were able to marvel at the wonder of nature day and night within their own four walls and witness how a tiny seed grew into an edible, tasty plant.
Germination guarantee
The homefarm, seeds, capsules, and app form a perfect symbiosis for good growth, yield, and, most importantly, taste. That's why we offer a germination guarantee for every plant capsule. If a capsule doesn't germinate, simply send us a photo of the plant capsule and you'll receive a free replacement with your next order.

Entdecke den köstlichen Geschmack des Basilikums Genoveser in der italienischen Küche
Basilikum (Ocimum basilicum) ist eines der beliebtesten Kräuter in der italienischen Küche und erfreut sich weltweit großer Beliebtheit. Besonders die Sorte "Genoveser" ist für ihren intensiven Geschmack und ihr reiches Aroma bekannt. Wenn regelmäßig und richtig geerntet wird, kannst du Basilikum aus der homefarm über Monate nutzen. Du kannst eine reiche Ernte an frischem Basilikum genießen und deine Gerichte mit diesem herrlichen Kraut verfeinern.
Kann man die Stängel von Basilikum essen?
Eine häufig gestellte Frage ist, ob man die Stängel von Basilikum essen kann. Ja, die Stängel sind in der Regel essbar, jedoch haben die Blätter das intensivere Aroma. Wenn du das Kraut erntest, empfiehlt es sich, die Stängel zu entfernen oder nur in geringen Mengen zu verwenden, um den Geschmack nicht zu dominieren.
Geschmack und Verwendung
Neben seinem köstlichen Geschmack hat Basilikum auch gesundheitliche Vorteile. Es enthält viele Nährstoffe und ätherische Öle, die antioxidative Eigenschaften haben und zur allgemeinen Gesundheit beitragen können. Basilikum wird auch traditionell für seine entzündungshemmenden und antimikrobiellen Eigenschaften geschätzt.
Wenn du noch nach einen Rezept suchst, dann schau am besten in die urbanhive App oder wie wäre es mit einem klassischen Caprese-Salat? Schneide frische Tomaten und Mozzarella-Käse in Scheiben und garniere dies mit frischem Basilikum. Beträufel das Ganze mit Olivenöl und etwas Balsamico-Essig und würze es mit Salz und Pfeffer. Das ist ein einfaches und leckeres Gericht, das die Aromen des Basilikums voll zur Geltung bringt.
