5L Passive Organic Hydroponics Starter System Learn Vermiponics by Building, Growing and Harvesting

Learn Organic Hydroponics the Bundu Teq Way.

Build, understand and grow with a complete Vermiponics starter system that replaces pumps, electricity and synthetic nutrient solutions with living biology. This hands-on kit includes a professionally assembled demonstration planter, living growth media and the complete STS Practical #11 digital course, allowing you to learn the principles and then build your own systems from readily available recycled materials

Designed at the Sustainability Testing Station (STS), the Vermiponic Planter Kit demonstrates how discarded plastic can be transformed into a productive food-growing system using simple engineering and natural biological processes.

Whether you’re curious about passive hydroponics, regenerative gardening or the Bundu Teq philosophy, this kit provides everything needed to begin.

What’s Included

• 5 L Hand-built Vermiponic Planter
• Professional Capillary Wicking System
• 2 dm³ VermiCore Terra Preta Living Growth Medium
• Free Digital STS Practical #11
  “Building Organic Hydroponic Planter Systems“

Why Vermiponics?

Unlike conventional hydroponics, Vermiponics doesn’t rely on electricity, pumps or expensive nutrient concentrates.

Instead it combines:

• Passive sub-irrigation
• Living soil biology
• Continuous microbial nutrient cycling
• Natural capillary watering

The result is a remarkably simple growing system capable of producing vigorous vegetables, herbs and edible plants with minimal maintenance.

Perfect For

• First-time growers
• Schools and STEM education
• Sustainable living projects
• Small-space food production
• Balconies and patios
• Bundu Teq practical training

Designed to Teach

The included STS Practical doesn’t simply explain how to use the planter.

It teaches the engineering principles behind Vermiponics, allowing you to build, modify and scale your own systems using readily available recycled materials.

The planter included in this kit serves as a professionally built reference system demonstrating the techniques described throughout the practical.

Proudly Designed and Made in South Africa

Every kit is individually assembled at the Sustainability Testing Station using recycled materials wherever possible, demonstrating that productive food systems can be built from everyday resources rather than expensive imported equipment.
