   Thanks! There are a lot of indoor options available, but they are pretty small in size, and might produce a salad a week at the most. That's really not AutoMicroFarm's vision. If you are thinking something that's larger in si

    I'm pleasantly surprised. In my opinion, this response is 90% sincere apology, and only 10% non-apology and shifting the blame.
