How can a small balcony become a reliable mini garden? This use case shows how the solar-powered irrigation system Boum Core makes plant care simple.
A small garden in the middle of the city? For many people, the balcony is the only place where herbs, vegetables and flowers can grow. At the same time, everyday life often leaves little time for regular watering and proper plant care.
This is exactly where the Boum Core irrigation system comes in. The compact system was specifically developed for city balconies and smaller terraces and enables reliable plant care without daily effort.
At the heart of the system is a 32-litre water tank connected to a solar-powered control unit that automatically distributes water to two planters. Through capillary wicks, the plants absorb exactly the amount of water they need. This ensures consistent, plant-friendly watering – even during holidays or busy work weeks.
Especially on small balconies, Boum Core offers a major advantage: tank, control unit and planters are compact, lightweight and flexible to position. With 13 litres of soil volume each, the planters are ideal for herbs, salads, tomatoes or strawberries. At the same time, the Boum app provides helpful insights on water levels, plant care and fertilisation, supporting even beginners in growing successfully.
This turns a city balcony step by step into a personal mini vegetable garden – simple, reliable and designed for everyday life.
