Hydropack, the all-in-one module with a built-in water reserve

Vegetation: fully grown the day of installation with drought tolerant plants adapted to the local environment.
Growing medium: FLL compliant, adapted to the North American climate. Our growing medium retains a
substantial amount of water and is designed to be long lasting.
f Filter fabric: retains the growing media within the tray and prevents soil erosion while the roots grow through
Mineral drainage: placed in the water reserves, provides anchoring and aeration to the plants roots
Water reserve: increases water retention and drought tolerance of the plants, while limiting runoff
Drainage holes: placed at a clearance of 1.2 (30 mm) above the membrane to provide good drainage of
excess water
Hooking system: mitigates wind uplift and enables water and nutrients to flow between trays
