Plantaform Smart Indoor Garden Review: You’ll Be Growing Edible Plants Like a High-Tech Space Farmer in No Time!

There’s something undeniably satisfying about snipping off a fresh leaf of basil or harvesting a head of lettuce you grew yourself, without dirt, without a garden plot, and without the guilt of another plastic clamshell from the store. Enter the Plantaform Smart Indoor Garden, a fog-based growing system that makes year-round gardening almost as simple as pushing a button. After spending weeks growing with it, I have a lot of thoughts. So, is the Plantaform worth inviting into your home, or wherever you keep your indoor jungle ambitions? Let’s dig in (figuratively, of course; there’s no actual dirt involved).

OPCOM Farm GrowBox Indoor Hydroponic Gardening System

For years, Kev and I have talked about planting a garden so we could grow our own vegetables and be somewhat self-sufficient. Because we live on the top of a big rock, if we plant a garden it will be an endeavor involving a bulldozer and hauling topsoil. Until that becomes feasible, we’ll have the OPCOM Farm GrowBox hydroponic garden.

Organize Your Seeds with a Seed Organizer Binder Kit

Usually I am pretty good at remembering what I collected (and why), but recently I stumped myself. I had gathered some seeds and put them in a bag, and at some point (months later, I’m sure) mislabeled them “Mexican Paradise Plant”. After the seeds began to grow, there was no doubt in my mind that the seedlings were something completely different. Obviously my organizational skills had failed. Kev and I spent hours trying to figure out what this odd five-leafed plant was, and through…


AeroGarden Pro 100 – Indoor Gardening Made Simple – Review

About 3 months ago I saw an AeroGarden advertised in Sharper Image and did further investigation as it seemed interesting. An appliance you just plug in a seed pod, 2 nutrient tablets and water (no soil! Yay!). And on your counter you’ll quickly have enough fresh herbs to last a lifetime. Being the gadget geek that I am there are very few home devices that have a microprocessor that I don’t own. So this was new and somewhat exciting. Combine nature, healthy eating, and a touchpanel….Joy!
