Growing method and how it works?
The HOMIE28 operates on the vertical NFT (Nutrient Film Technique) method. A thin layer of nutrient-rich solution is pumped from the reservoir at the base to the top channel, where plant roots absorb water and nutrients. The solution flows through all channels in a continuous 24/7 cycle, eventually returning to the reservoir. This method ensures efficient nutrient delivery, supports fast plant growth, conserves up to 90% more water compared to traditional gardening, and maximizes space efficiency with its vertical design.
What can be grown?
The HOMIE28 is ideal for growing a variety of edible plants, including:
- Herbs
- Basil
- Parsley
- Dill
- Cilantro
- Chives
- Mint
- Thyme
- Oregano
- Sage
- Tarragon
- Leafy Greens
- Lettuce (Romaine, Butterhead, Iceberg)
- Spinach
- KaleSwiss Chard
- Arugula
- Bok Choy
- Endive
- Mustard Greens
- Watercress and much more.
The HOMIE28’s efficient NFT method is particularly suited for these fast-growing, compact plants, making it perfect for fresh, pesticide-free gardening.

What's Included?
Professional NFT Growing Channels
Four NFT channels measuring 100mm x 50mm, designed with removable covers for effortless root pruning and quick cleaning between growing cycles, ensuring robust and continuous growth.
DC Water Pump
This low-voltage pump prioritizes safety when handling water within the system. It features a protective mechanism that prevents damage when operating 'dry', ensuring it remains safe even when the reservoir is empty.
Reservoir with Float Valve
This system features a 15L water reservoir designed for continuous recirculating irrigation. Additionally, it offers the option to connect the included float valve to a water tap, allowing for automatic water refilling whenever the water level decreases.
28 Net Cups and Neoprene Collars
This set features a complete planting kit that includes 28 net cups along with 28 neoprene collars. These collars securely hold the plants in place while blocking light from entering the channels, which helps prevent algae growth.
Connectors, built-in stand, and additional components
The system comes with everything required for installation, ensuring proper attachment, efficient water flow control, and quick, secure assembly.

How Homie28 works?
Wally32 utilizes the vertical hydroponic Shallow Water Culture (SWC) method, where a nutrient solution reservoir at the bottom feeds water and nutrients to plants in the channels. The roots absorb water, nutrients, and oxygen, while the foliage receives light and airflow from the external environment. Unlike the more common NFT method, SWC maintains a safe water level even if the pump fails or during power outages, protecting plants from drying out quickly.
Wally can be operated on a timer or solar panel if needed.
Like other hydroponic methods, Wally32 conserves about 90% of water and allows plants to grow up to three times faster without chemical pesticides.The HOMIE28 operates using the vertical hydroponic Nutrient Film Technique (NFT), an efficient method where a thin film of nutrient-rich water flows continuously through channels. The nutrient solution is pumped from the reservoir at the bottom to the top channel, cascading through all channels and returning to the reservoir in a closed-loop system.
Plant roots absorb water, nutrients, and oxygen directly from the flowing solution, while the foliage receives light, airflow, and humidity from the external environment. The vertical design maximizes space, making the system ideal for compact indoor or outdoor growing areas.
The NFT method is highly water-efficient, conserving up to 90% more water than traditional gardening. By delivering nutrients directly to the roots, plants grow faster and healthier, all without the need for chemical pesticides. This closed-loop system ensures a productive, sustainable, and hassle-free growing experience.

This Nutrient Flow Technique Hydroponics Kit is easy to assemble, has everything you need to get started. It works perfectly. Just add plants and a planting medium. I used grow foam, which worked nicely for lettuce and greens.
We're glad to hear that the kit was easy to set up and worked well for your lettuce and greens. Happy growing!

I want to recommend NatureTech to everyone! Since planting, it has grown plants at an insane rate that I've never seen in my ground garden before. You need to learn a bit about maintenance at first, but once you get it, it becomes really easy. I spend no more than 5 minutes on maintenance and then another quarter-hour exploring and seeing all the new growth. A whole new world has opened up for me and I'm excited; I'm already considering which NatureTech system will be my next. Highly recommend.

I ordered the system for the kindergarten where I teach children aged 3-5. We assembled the system together and each child planted a seedling in a cup and then into the system. The children learn what plants need (sunlight, water, fertilizer, air, humidity), see the growth process, and eventually taste the results and learn about the importance of eating vegetables for health. I am grateful to the NatureTech team for their professional guidance and support. The children enjoy and are proud of their hydroponic garden.

I purchased the 'Homie' hydroponic system from Nature Tech along with a great supplement kit that arrived in early November. As soon as I planted several types of greens (and one arugula), I added water and pH balancing once a week. Within 3 weeks, the growth was great, the roots were established, and the system was functioning excellently - the pictures speak for themselves. Note that after about 2 weeks, my conductivity meter stopped working, but with the effective and speedy support of Nature Tech, we solved the problem and it continues to function properly. I highly recommend this system for simple and efficient home growing, and I appreciate Nature Tech's support of its system and products! Thank you, champions!

From left to right, top row: basil, wild strawberry, mixed lettuce, red cabbage.
Bottom row: mint, green onion, mixed lettuce, romaine lettuce.
The greens have already provided enough ingredients for about 7 family-sized salads (for 10 people...), the mint has already been used for tea, the basil for seasoning the salad, and we're still waiting a bit for everything else. Fast and satisfying growth.
