Roll-Out Veg Mat

I found a design for a roll-out veg mat by Chris Chapman. "Home food production can be strenuous work, often taking hours of labour to set up and maintain. This aspect of home horticulture was one of the main complaints of large unit families who have little or no spare time throughout their day. What was needed was a simple, fun solution which could encourage families and individuals to grow there own food saving them money and of course the environment. The final design solution was a simple nutriant enriched corrugated cardboard seed mat. Each season a new mat becomes available for purchase, allowing individuals to produce a constant year round harvest of fresh home grown vegetables with little labour time and minimal effort."

 

 I quite like the idea, first off I like how everything is pretty much layed out for you in an easy and clear way to understand. And I think its pretty cool that a new roll comes out every new season so that the consumer has a variety of things that grow in different climates throughout the year. It's quite interactive so the whole family can get involved which I think this product is aimed at and its environmentally friendly because it is made out of recyclable material.
