Well the hacking I think is the biggest draw. Other than that I'm looking into this cause I'm frequently away for 4-5-7 days with no one to water my plants and also live in a small apartment(in the EU) so don't really have a nearby garden as an option. > bringing you further away from nature, not closer Yep, I agree, however, I also feel soil is more perfect/magical than hydroponics and less fun if you want to hack around on a small scale. I still prefer a garden but it's just not viable at the moment.
