TestBed 06

TestBed 06 is located in Long Bien, east of the Red River and Hanoi's Old Quarter, and represents a further development of TestBed 01, incorporating the insights gained from TestBed 02. At TestBed 06, a new filter fleece is being applied, and the two-layer substrate composition is being optimized and tested in combination with a drainage panel for mobile plant containers. The overarching aim of these ongoing efforts is the continuous optimization of the system to establish its suitability as a standard solution. The research activities at TestBed 06 contribute significantly to this objective.

The plant composition within the system is minimally altered. Fragrant plants, such as citrus and jasmine, are integrated to evaluate the extent to which insects and small animals colonize the area.

Furthermore, TestBed 06 has been equipped with an optimized irrigation system, which is also currently undergoing testing.

The evaluation process has just commenced and requires continuous monitoring over the next 12 months to enable precise conclusions.
