Made from 80% recycled, food-grade plastic, the Foodcube is a circular economy product that re-purposes offcut material from the confectionery industry and turns it into a vegetable-growing factory.

So why not give the Foodcube a try in your home, school, or community garden today? You can purchase them online right now and collect them in-store or get your new Foodcubes delivered locally  

The Original Foodcube measures 1150mm x 1150mm x 500mm. It holds around 300 litres of potting mix and provides 1m2 of growing area for you to create a mini-farm or you can connect multiple units together to form a large urban farm space. These cubes are built from 80% recycled food-grade plastic that won’t contaminate your growing plants. Biofilta prides itself on its circular economy of re-purposing offcuts material from the confectionery industry and turning it into a vegetable-growing factory.  

The Foodcube slim model measures 1150mm x 665mm x 500mm. Just like the Foodcube, the Foodcube Slim will be connectable, customisable, water-efficient and made in Australia from recycled plastic. You can also buy leg supports separately in order to raise your Foodcube from the ground and keep your plants safe from curious children and pets.  

These Foodcubes are fantastic for primary schools, community gardens and backyards that already have a very limited garden space. As they are freestanding, they don't require much space and you can even purchase cladding panels to give the garden a rustic metal look if you don’t like the black plastic exterior. You can also buy a handy trellis for your Foodcube that will allow climbing plants more support as they reach for the sun. Need more space? With Foodcube’s modular system you can connect multiple units together to create a large growing area, and the wicking bed base design means your plants will always have access to water – even in the hottest Australian summers or while you are way on holiday! If you add on the feet, It helps raise the garden bed and helps to keep pests and insects away from your crops and avoid the need for harsh chemicals. It also protects your plants from wildlife and curious little children. 

The Foodcube also has some handy removable trays that allow easy cleaning access and each Foodcube is shipped with two swiveling water levels that give you ultimate control over the water level in each unit or an entire row. Set high for a full soak to cope with a heat wave or create an air gap for better drainage. You can even leave this fully empty if you are expecting a rain storm and don’t want the added water to drown your plants. With a Foodcube, you get full control.
