TERRAVASO - Your plant pot made out of soil

 

The TERRAVASO toolkit as an approach to connect the planting process with an ecological technique of planting. With the help of TERRAVASO, the possibility is given to create a biodegradable pot for succulents and cacti. Through this method, an alternative for the usual plastic pots is given in addition to the ceramic pot. Empower yourself to craft your own pot by utilizing this toolkit, featuring the essential component of soil, enriched with organic fertilizers. This allows to have an organic pot for your plants. Moreover, there’s no need to concern yourself with fertilizing the plants; the organic fertilizers are already incorporated into your pot.

Over the past year, participatory TERRAVASO Workshops have been held to foster creativity through shared experiences. These workshops brought people together to collaborate on crafting while exchanging knowledge about plants and soil.

Findings On Soil

Life on earth depends on healthy soils. As part of hands-on materials education, young Eco-Social Design students at the Free University of Bozen-Bolzano explored soil as a do-it-yourself material for art, design and architecture. Through practical exercises and guest workshops we examined its properties, everyday uses, and future possiblities. Collaborating with the BITZ unibz fablab, a community workshop for hobbyists, researchers and students based in Bolzano, we developed experimental kits to (re)connect and engage people with soil.
