What is an EarthPod?
An EarthPod™ is a simple, but cunningly-designed miniature farm covered by a hoop tunnel that creates a protected micro-climate. The water-retention layer allows water to rise through the soil via capillary action, reducing evaporation and promoting strong root systems. This wicking method helps keep plants healthy without the need for wasteful hosepipes or sprinklers.

EarthPods come in different types of wood to suit your garden
Wooden EarthPods are pre-assembled, so installation is simply a matter of preparing a level surface and loading in the watering system and earth layers. It takes three or four hours. We offer wood that is carefully sourced for sustainability and performance.
The woods we are offering at present are:
.
Pine
38mm treated pine timber—an excellent choice for constructing raised bed gardens. With its sturdy build and protective treatment, this timber ensures durability and resilience.
Spruce
Spruce is a creamy-white wood, with an elegant grain and a high strength-to-weight ratio. It has many commercial uses; in piano soundboards, cellos, guitars, boats, furniture and EarthPods. Fun fact – spruce was used by the Wright brothers in the first-ever aircraft.

Siberian Larch
Siberian Larch is a sustainable, slow-grown, high-density softwood. It is comparable in hardness to oak, has natural resistance to fungus, and can be used without treatment (untreated, it will weather from its raw straw-to-golden colour to a silvery grey). It is one of the strongest and hardest commercial softwoods. Because of its durability, it is traditionally used for cladding and boat planking, and it looks great.
