DIY for Mi-Hy
To promote sustainable agriculture, Mi-Hy is developing a do-it-yourself prototype.
Weโre using our accessible circular hydroponic system to encourage and inspire the DIY community through a series of workshops and detailed tutorials.ย

How does Mi-Hy work?
Mi-Hy (Microbial Hydroponics) is a circular hydroponic system, where a sustainable low energy source, a microbial fuel cell, provides power and recycles nutrients for plants – from wastewater.
