This reflects my experience of growing 1-2 herbs at home. It requires little space and you usually only use a tiny amount. Most of all, it's tastier and cheaper over time than the dried stuff.
If there were a simple-to-maintain herb garden hydroponics set, I'd totally be interested!
- IntronExon 9y agoI grow basil when the temp is right, and its remarkable just how good it is. I agree with your takeaway about a hydro set too.
- pavel_lishin 9y agoOur basil always ends up wilting - I almost suspect that we're not eating it fast enough.
- IntronExon 9y agoIt does wilt in a hurry, and that's been sn issue for me too. If I'm making pesto though, it can go surprisingly quickly.
- LifeofPi314 9y agoI have a 9 pod aerogarden, It's beautiful, have had it for 45 days. All 9 pods have plans coming out now and love growing basil at home - Doesn't take space, Auto controlled Minimal maintenance
- sizimon 9y agoAerogarden makes a dead simple, self contained 3 herb hydroponics set complete with reservoir and light. You basically just plug it in and eat herbs in a couple weeks. I've been using one for a couple years to grow basil and some other stuff, and I really like it. Not sure if linking to products on HN is discouraged, but should be easy to find with a quick search.
- module0000 9y agoAnother plug for Aerogarden - along with the obvious output, it's been a terrible lot of fun for me.
