The Wiki Garden™
Grow your own food!
We all love the idea of
growing our own food, but – in Oahu's crowded
urban environrment and with our busy lifestyles –
we struggle with issues of limited space, time, energy,
and the high cost of materials.
That's why we are so impressed with The Wiki Garden,
the brainstorm of local environmentalist and inventor
Alan Joaquin. If you have been meaning to start
a garden but never seem to get it done, read on–
this is especially for you!

 |
Essentially, The Wiki Garden is
an instant, ready-to-use irrigated organic garden bed.
Each unit is a three-foot-long
recyclable polyester sausage-shaped sack with a patented
soaker hose contraption inside. The sack is filled with
a high-quality organic growing media, pre- fertilized
with worm castings, bat guano, kelp meal, feather meal,
oyster shell – all the soil amendments we recommend.
|
To activate your Wiki Garden, you simply hook it up to
any standard garden hose.
Use a scissors to cut a puka in the surface to plant the
seeds of your choice using a handy spacing chart.
Turn on the hose for one hour a day, or set a timer to
do it for you.

 |
You
can connect units in a daisy chain one to another, turn
corners, set up rows, etc., in whatever configuration
you wish. All units are run from the single hose connection.
You can place your Wiki Garden just about anywhere!
No tilling and conditioning your soil, building raised
beds, figuring out fertilizers, raking, or weeding....
Just plug, plant, and watch your vegetables grow.
