Welcome to Jocondo.io, the go-to place for the future of metropolitan horticulture! How many times have you dreamed of having a thriving balcony garden with fresh, zero-kilometer vegetables, only to run into problems with space, time, or lack of experience? Until today, urban gardening often meant compromises and difficulties. But with Jocondo, the smart garden that wasn't there, all of that is about to change. The House Farmer (our company) has filled this gap by creating the world's first smart home garden.
Why "The Urban Garden That Wasn't There"? Overcoming the Challenges of City Gardening
Until recently, the concept of a home garden or community garden in metropolitan areas was often an ideal that was difficult to achieve. Existing solutions often amounted to "DIY" efforts with improvised pots and poorly designed materials, lacking real technological support for anyone wanting to try their hand at cultivation in the city.
We identified and addressed the most common barriers that discouraged aspiring "house farmers":
Limited and Unused Space: Urban balconies and terraces are often underutilized. The challenge wasn't just finding pots, but systems that truly allowed for the elegant and functional optimization of every available square centimeter.
The Race Against Time: Modern life imposes tight schedules, and dedicating hours every day to the garden can be unsustainable. Watering, fertilizing, and constant monitoring are commitments that often lead to abandoning the green project.
Lack of "Green Thumb" and Information: Not everyone is born an agronomist! The learning curve can be steep, and the fear of not knowing how to manage plants or understand their specific needs is a deterrent for many. Information on cultivation progress was almost non-existent.
Jocondo: The 4.0 Gardening Revolution at Your Fingertips
The House Farmer created Jocondo to fill this void, offering a metropolitan garden that is zero-step, self-produced, aligned with citizens' needs, and intrinsically sustainable. Jocondo represents the pinnacle of Agriculture 4.0, seamlessly integrating advanced technology, social networking, and distinctive Italian design.
What makes Jocondo unique and why is it the solution you've been waiting for?
A Smart Garden That Thinks for You: Jocondo features a cutting-edge microcontroller that integrates Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, and, most importantly, LoRa technology. The latter allows for innovative communication between pots, creating a proprietary mesh network that ensures operation even in the absence of Wi-Fi or Bluetooth, with a surprising range (between 3 and 15 km from another Jocondo). You can monitor and manage your garden remotely via a dedicated app, receiving real-time information on plant health, environmental conditions, and watering needs.
Water Autonomy for a Worry-Free Life: The pulsating heart of Jocondo is its internal reservoir, ingeniously made from recycled plastic sourced from materials like used nylon stockings. This guarantees exceptional water autonomy for up to 20-28 days. An immersion pump ensures precise irrigation according to pre-set routines, freeing you from daily watering concerns and allowing you to go on vacation without worries.
Sensors and Artificial Intelligence for Perfect Growth: Each Jocondo unit is equipped with a complete set of sensors to monitor temperature, humidity, air quality (PM2.5), ambient light, and remaining water level. In the future, a pH sensor and Artificial Intelligence functionalities will also be integrated to assess plant health and offer even more timely and targeted advice. It's like having a personal agronomist always at your disposal!
Italian Design: Elegance, Functionality, and Modular Sustainability: Jocondo is not just technology; it's also a masterpiece of Italian design. Its elegant and practical aesthetics integrate perfectly into any urban environment, be it a balcony, a terrace, or a rooftop garden. Its outer "sock" (for aesthetics) is not only beautiful but also removable, washable, and made from recycled plastic collected from the seas. The design is conceived for modularity, allowing versatile configurations (vertical and horizontal), and integrated wheels facilitate its movement for cleaning or finding the perfect light.
Continuous and Simple Production, All Year Round: Thanks to its autonomy and smart monitoring, Jocondo enables continuous and self-sufficient urban cultivation, providing fresh produce throughout the year, regardless of seasonality. Say goodbye to last-minute supermarket lettuce!
