There has been a growing trend to start planting your own food. As well, this trend has not only caused people to start planting their own food but also docaration plants. However, and I have experienced this first hand, most of the vegetables or plants people plant end up dying after a couple of months.
This trend also accomodates a smart division of products, of which I will be talking today. This smart garden not enables you to plant your own food but also makes it easier than other pots which you have to be constantly on.
What is a smart garden ?
Esentially, a smart garden is a container where water can be stored with one or more smaller containers which the soil and vitamins are stored and the seed is planted. However, the 'smart' labeling comes in because most of this 'indoor gardens come binded or work with an app, therefore enabling you control you plants remotely.
The image above is a click and grow smart garden. Click and Grow is probably the biggest brand dedicated exclusively to smart gardens, they claim that all of their product is either renewable or reusable. The pot above has self-watering and automatic lighting sytems, as well as a branded app and included soil.
The the main advantage all of the brand that do this claim is that you only have to set it up once and then you forget about it until their app warns you about the water lavels or other factors.
If I were to recomend you a specific pot or brand it would undoubtedly be click and grow, more specifically their smart garden 3 Kit because it's small and perfect for beginners. Apart from this, Click and Grow provide you independently with all of the other soils and seeds you may want with fully recycled bag once you want to change plants.
Either way, I will live you a series of smart gardens for you to quickly browse as well as some commentary and descriptions underneath them.
So, rapidly, this is a smart garden with smart lighting and self-watting. It self-wets because it is fully centered on hydroponics consequently, as they claim, it grows the seeds faster, with less waste and with less maintnance
It costs $ 79.99 and you can plant any seeds you want, although I would recomend searching if you can grow them hydroponicaly before planting them.
This smart garden is very similar to the VegeBox, however it has two added features: a fan to porvide airflow and a whole range of lights that they claim improve growth. Nevertheless, you will need some capsule kits, as they call them, or some growing sponges for the plants to grow properly
This garden costs $79,99 but at the time of writing this articled is discounted to $63,99.
ingarden has solely 3 pods, in comparison to the twelve above. However, I like this ones more because they are less crampted and have a bigger area overall for the seeds to grow.
The ingarden garden provides 3 slices of their microgreens ,which are their densely packaged packages of seeds for you to plant in the pot (see here). Although you can't , by what it seems, grow your own plants they shurely porvide the most popular and big quantities of them.
Apart from this, a great distintive factor is that all of their brand is enviromentaly friendly as everything they produce can be decomposed by the eviroment easily.
It is $119 but is by far my favourite so far.
These last two pots are from the same brand and they only differ in two things: the size, the one at the end has 9 spaces for pots instead of 3 and it also has red lights to, as they say, 'optimise the spectrum" refering to the light spectrum.
Apart from that, they are identical, same app, they are, meaning they aren't hydroponic as the other say. Also, click&grow also sells you diferent seeds with soil for other types of plants. Even though three plants of these are inlcuded in the small pot.
The cost $134 and $289 so I would definitively recomend the smaller one for starters, as even though they are the more expensive of all they have the best recomendations, client support, app design and product ecosystem of all by far.
So wrapping it up, by slection for anyone reading is to buy the click&grow if you are interested in growing plants in your home correctly because, personally I think great part of the price is truelly justified. However, if you don't care about the app and fancy code, I think you should definitively buy the ingarden garden as it is certified of helping the environment instead of just claiming it as click&grow does.
