DID YOU KNOW

Did you know you can build your own gardening system right at home? As the host of Samsung's Real Impact series, I want you to check out how this woman built a soilless gardening system using stacked PVC pipes and a water reservoir below! She starts with tiny seedlings, places them along the openings of the pipes, and uses a hydroponic system so the roots get what they need moving through the whole setup. And that's what makes this so fascinating... Most people think plants need dirt to grow, but what they really need is water, air, and light. So once you build a system that delivers those things another way, the whole idea of what a garden has to look like starts to change! And this setup is smart because it stacks everything vertically, saves space, allows the water to be reused throughout the system, cuts down on the mess, and grows fresh food while reducing waste! It's the same kind of thinking behind Samsung's energy feature, which is designed to help optimize energy use at home, helping you get more out of the resources you use everyday! That's the kind of nerdy sustainability thinking that I love! Samsung and I have teamed up to find cool innovative ideas like this. So keep an eye out for the next Real Impact video!
