Lettuce Grow is an easy-to-use hydroponic garden that makes you feel like a scientist

I used to have a black thumb, but I wanted a green one so badly. The Lettuce Grow Farmstand granted my wish and turned me into a gardening obsessive. 

Nearly six months into testing the Lettuce Grow Farmstand, a vertical hydroponic planter that can grow greens indoors or out, I've blossomed into a full-on plant enthusiast. I've watched hours of YouTube videos about seedlings, fallen down internet rabbit holes to find the best way to cut plants, run weekly pH tests on my plants' water, and given my lettuce encouraging pep talks. 

If you take out the leafy greens, the $348-to-start Lettuce Grow looks like home decor you'd find at IKEA, or a futuristic bean bag game. It's basically a big vase that cycles through water stored in its base and holds 12 to 36 plants in round cubbies that stack on top of one another in modular rings.

It's about 4 feet to 6 feet tall depending on how many plants you want and nearly 2 feet wide at the base. Read more...
