A metal skeleton ensures the rigidity and high resistance of the structure. The outer shell is made of fibers, it is completely waterproof, resistant, and poorly heat-conductive. This guarantees great durability for both the column and the vegetation.

We have developed a special soil: its fibrous structure limits compaction and ensures good water retention. Its composition includes recycled and local materials, such as birch bark instead of peat.

MUBE has created and patented an irrigation system adapted to vertical plant cultivation and especially to great height. It allows delivering the same amount of water to all levels with the possibility of managing them differently and extremely precisely according to the needs.

The vegetated column irrigates itself. To do this, it is equipped with connected probes that measure the water availability in the substrate in real-time. Our algorithm analyzes this data, and based on temperature, plant development stage, weather predictions, etc., triggers irrigation or not. The goal is no unnecessary watering and no wasted water !

While all plants can grow in our soil, not all are suitable for urban and vertical cultivation. Out of more than a hundred different plants tested to date, we currently recommend around twenty, selected for their qualities: development speed, hardiness, foliage and flower color, etc., and their complementarities: aromatic, melliferous, evergreen, deciduous, grasses, etc. Each column is a concentrated garden !

The vegetated column is the most efficient way to maximize plants in minimal ground space while saving water to the maximum. Compared to conventional solutions such as trees, green spaces, and planted pots, and with equivalent vegetation surface, the MUBE column grows 50 times faster than a tree, takes up 15 times less ground space than a green space, and consumes 50% less water.
It is equivalent to a 15m² garden with around thirty different varieties but occupies 30 times less ground space (0.5m²) and consumes 70% less water.
