BendiNewsTest: Brilliant 3D grass printer produces a garden in any shape you can imagine

Hi,

This page is currently being developed. This page checks Sustainability Blogs and RSS News Feeds for new content and posts it to here each day. The aim is to share information related to sustainability which is relevant to people living in Central Victoria while also providing a channel for international sustainability information. I am just discovering the Internets information sharing potential. I'd like to help other not so tech savvy people learn how to find interesting and new Sustainability info. Please tell me your favorite blogs or news sources and I will add them to the list.

Thanks

Brilliant 3D grass printer produces a garden in any shape you can imagine

Gardening has entered the 21st century. A team of students at the University of Maribor in Slovenia developed an innovative 3D printer that can create objects out of living grass! In 2013, Maja Petek, Tina Zidanšek, Urška Skaza, Danica Rženičnik and Simon Tržan worked with assistant professor Dušan Zidar to develop “Tiskaj ZELENO” (Print GREEN), which links art, nature and technology. The device prints with a mixture of soil, water and grass seeds, so the printed designs sprout and turn green over time.
