About Hydro-Herb Ltd.

We are a small eco-craft company based in Suffolk. The idea for our kits grew from a project that our founder (Julian) was doing as part of an end of year project for an MSc in Engineering with the Open University. The general theme was to come up with a product idea based around the recycling/reuse of household waste. Julian knew that he was due to do the weekly "walk of shame" and so the opportunity to reduce the number of wine bottles to be taken to the bottle bank was very appealing. Julian was already well versed in the field of hydroponics, first being introduced to the related "aquaponics" during his studies for a degree in Applied Marine Biology. Having completed the project Julian made the decision to look into the practicality of making and selling the kits for real, and so the journey began. We have done our absolute best to ensure that the Hydro-herb kits we make are as environmentally sound as they can be. We source our parts carefully trying to ensure that we have as small a carbon footprint as possible. All of the parts in our kit are either recycled and recyclable or entirely biodegradable.
