Cool Collector # Earth Love Files
Since one year I have a big roofterras in the middle of Rotterdam and we also created a litlle rooffarm. Since spring we've already eaten homegrown lettuce, paprika, red chilli peppers, lot's of herbs and our tomato's, onions, aubergines, grapes and strawberries will soon be ready to eat!
Now farming is a lot easier when you have a garden instead of a terras, because you have to carry all the earth you need to your roof! Plants like potatoes, carrots or mushrooms just don't work out that way!
But for mushrooms there is a pretty cool solution now! Check out the Back To The Roots Mushroom Kit, the package looks amazing and when the mushrooms start to grow I would almost describe it as art!
Back To The Roots is the brainchild of two UC Berkeley students, Alejandro Velez and Nikhil Arora back in 2009 during their final semester ~ they went from investment banking to full time urban mushroom farmers! Most unique about their kits: their oyster mushrooms grow in 100% recycled coffee grounds!
The only thing that's stopping me from ordering it directly is the price. A kit costs $19,95 without shipping, seem a little expensive for a box of mushrooms.
