> I operate a CSA and grow thousands of dollars of food every year. That's great! And at the level you're at, the product probably doesn't make much sense. Everything is easy once you learn how to do it. I'm curious which of the things I listed aren't significant issues? They're all things I've came across when trying to grow food. I do agree that the current incarnation of this product fails to address those things, but the maker community will surely expand upon the platform. It appears to be extraordinarily modular.

>Everything is easy once you learn how to do it. Which you still have to do. Again, this literally does nothing but plant seeds for you, which is a pretty easy job. >I'm curious which of the things I listed aren't significant issues? All of them. The only harmful interaction between plants anyone is going to experience in their garden is beans and peas getting slowed by onions. And that doesn't even matter much, it just takes a little longer for your beans to be ready to harvest. Acidity is largely irrelevant, some plants tolerate or even prefer acidic soil, but almost all plants grown in a vegetable garden do just fine with neutral to slightly acidic soil. And watering is a non-issue, use hugels or at least ghetto it up with "lasagna" beds. >but the maker community will surely expand upon the platform. To do what? Solve problems that are already solved and do not require any sort of mechanical solution?
