Grass Patch That Tells The Time
It’s always an educational experience to see what’s in store for us as far eco-friendly products go. Joining the green brigade is this Timeless Garden that looks at bringing in a green patch and clock to match your décor. Using the chemistry between mud and metal, the clock sustains itself, without craving additional toxic juices. The frame is a hitch between by two recycled plastic bodies fashioned as a pot/clock.
Indoor plant with a self-sustaining digital clock….hmmm…I’m just wondering what will be the outcome if I happen to over-water the plant. Guess that will ruin my go-green aspirations!
Designers: Francesco Castiglione Morelli & Tommaso Ceschi

If someone needs another clock in the house, I guess… I too am concerned about water drainage. Water can get through anything, especially a seem in the joined molded halves.

They can be ultrasonically welded to create a water tight seal. Although, to be honest, I wish people would consider alternatives to their parting lines. This could be cored from the bottom with a side action to form the front face. I also wish the clock was bigger. In any event, it’s a cute design. Reminds me of this potato clock I built in elementary school: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ufoOJfzro2c

how many more people feel the need to make something that involves a clock, and a plant…..

I like it; I think it’s quite cute, and the green ‘pulse’ is quite a nice touch

how long can something like this run?
and what happens if, like me, you dont have a green thumb?

Why does grass of all things come across as green? it’s not, the lawn is the biggest water-consumer in America, so selling a product as “green” because it has a lawn is silly. if anyone gets this, plant something in it, like herbs.
Luke says
Cliché hardly describes it.
Keith says
How exactly does the mud create electricity?
Eric says
Ask a potato, they do.
I think it has to do with alkalinity in the water.
claire says
its the organisms in the mud that create a chemical reaction which, in turn, creates a tiny charge that is enough for the clock to run off.
personally, i think its a great idea! cute and eco. i dont know what you’d do if you overwatered it accidentally, haha, but my only question is where can i get one?!
foodtown says
