Eat and cook with what you grow. With these kits you’ll have delicious, nutritious vegetables and herbs without any previous gardening experience necessary. The Vegetable Starter Kit (left) provides everything you need for a healthy garden, and with the Herb Garden Kit (right) you’ll have everything you need to grow delicious herbs indoors.
To ensure steady indoor plant growth and a successful gardening season our kits come with an illuminated plant house with a full spectrum LED light, giving your plants the light they need anytime of year.
For those seasoned gardeners with a system already in place. We’ve got something for you, too. You’ll receive enough fertilizer to apply one growing season’s worth of nutrients to a garden up to 50 square feet in size. Our team is stocked with soil scientists who know just what growing plants need at every stage of development, and we’ve formulated unique fertilizer blends that your garden and houseplants will lo
We’ve combined our reclaimed phosphorus with other plant nutrients to create five unique Steady State™ fertilizer blends: Houseplant Fertilizer, Garden Starter Fertilizer, Garden Maintenance Fertilizer, Herb Starter Fertilizer, and Herb Maintenance Fertilizer.
Our fertilizers are formulated to give plants what they need, when they need it– no more and no less! We’re offering our Houseplant Fertilizer, Garden Starter Fertilizer and Garden Maintenance Fertilizer as rewards for those who just want to try this new stuff out.
Lowered lights are perfect for seedlings, which need the warmth of the lights as well, while the extended settings gives taller plants plenty of room to grow.
The outer two light bars swivel to allow a change of angle as plants’ needs change.
A durable metal tray at the base of the unit catches drainage water and is easily removable for cleaning and transplant.
At campaign close, backers will receive a survey to choose which seeds they would like included in their kits. All seeds offered will be heirloom varieties, and we’ll provide enough to allow for germination failures and other incidentals that might require a re-plant or two.
We’re committed to sustainability, from our reclaimed fertilizer to the materials used in each reward. We’ve sourced products featuring biodegradable, renewable, recyclable, reusable, and post-consumer materials wherever possible.
Some of the materials we’re proud to use:
Nutrients are essential to all life on earth. Right now we’re collectively allowing a whole lot of those vital nutrients to slip away and pollute our surface waters.
We’re stepping in to capture those nutrients. We want you to join us.
Phosphorus is an essential plant nutrient, AKA: without it, plants can’t thrive.
But sometimes phosphorus finds itself in our waterways. This happens for a variety of reasons (toilet flushes, agricultural runoff, industrial processes, fertilizer runoff from lawns, etc.) and when it does, it can lead to algae blooms, mass fish kills, and dead zones in oceans and lakes.
To make matters worse, phosphorus is a finite resource. Phosphorus mining, processing, and global transportation result in negative environmental impacts.
We’ve developed a technology that recovers phosphorus in a pure form, so we can give it back to the plants and soils that need it. This creates a closed loop – a circular economy of phosphorus.
Reclaimed nutrients, reclaimed ecosystem health (and happy plants!)
We are so excited to help you help your plants, and there are a few hurdles we need to jump before we can do that. Funds raised through this campaign will help us to:
We’re thrilled and humbled to be sharing our work with the Kickstarter community. We love what it stands for, how it works, and the amazing support system it provides.
If you like what we’re doing please share our work with your friends, family, neighbors, mail carrier, delivery person, pets, plants (they’d love to hear about this), or anyone on social media! We’re on Twitter, Facebook, Instagram and Youtube: @newsteadystate.
This Kickstarter would not have been possible without the help of our awesome collaborators:
Even though we have a fantastic team and have been building things since 2011, the products being offered here are new. To the best of our abilities, and in collaboration with our experienced partners, we are planning ahead so that we can meet our goals. That being said, we anticipate a learning curve with fertilizer production and compliance with individual states’ fertilizer labeling and sales regulations. Additionally, as we finalize our Illuminated Plant House prototype, we face the challenge of sourcing local manufacturers capable of handling the quantities needed to fulfill all the orders in a timely fashion. We are working diligently to meet the production goals and minimize the risk of manufacturing issues and delays. As the process moves along we will provide regular updates and are committed to doing everything in our power to make this a transparent and successful product launch. Thank you for joining our vision and mission for a sustainable planet!
