Uses innovative NASA-inspired technology that helps the herbs grow a little faster but still 100% naturally. Specially developed Smart Soil balances oxygen, water and nutritional ingredients at an optimal level - with no GMOs, pesticides, fungicides, insecticides, plant hormones, or any other suspicious substances. It’s all nature at its purest.

I made a version of this self-watering planter for our small balcony in Tokyo http://www.familyhandyman.com/la... Not as high tech, but much bigger and no cartridges necessary. Then again a lot of herbs can be tough to get started, like coriander, so something like this could be nice to have too.

Any DIY refills? otherwise seems like a k-cup lock in

@dswiese I took one and removed the seeds and swapped them out. Unfortunately none that you can buy without seeds yet.

@ay8s @dswiese You can buy the experimental refill. That one doesn't feature any seeds and you can just plant and grow your own!

Where's the innovative NASA-inspired technology for keeping my cat out? Figure that out, and you've got something really special.

I grabbed one of these late last year and have been really happy with it. Super useful for when you want to grab some thyme or basil, currently trying the mini tomatoes out. Only issue I've had with it has been the plants growing up close to the light and burning a little but that's down to me and how I haven't cut them to bush out more.

I've seen this a while ago and it's good to see their still in business. Good concept, and great design. It might just win the hearths of consumers fast. They should try to get featured in architecture/home deco magazines.

I had one last year and it worked kind of, but what I dont like is that you need to use their cartridges. If you are fine with that, they are good.

Looks really cool! Curious what the core differences are compared to the AeroGarden? The soil sounds different.

I used to be based at WeWork and I remember that Click and Grow's own click and grow plant was dead. Always found this ironic.

Neat time lapse video:

I backed on KS, and my kids and I love the design. We were 2-for-4 on getting edible results. Functionally, there's some room for doing more, like giving feedback on whether there's too much or too little light, and following through on the early messaging about delivering mobile apps for feedback.

I wonder how it compares, in terms of resource consumption, speed, and difficulty, to hydroponics & aquaponics.

I used the Smart Herb Garden for one cycle. It works as advertised. I think I had to refill the water three or four times and the results were perfect. It was so easy that I ended up losing interest and let most of the plants go until there was a feral garden spilling onto my kitchen counter.

I've want something like this for my 6 foot tomato plant, especially the smart watering feature. That would make me feel more confident about the wellbeing of my plants, especially when I'm gone! Keep up the gardening and the good work!!! :D

I think they're having serious supply issues since their YC coverage - I bought one on Monday with two day shipping, as I needed it for a birthday gift on Saturday. They've been totally dark, and my order is sitting on their site, status unfulfilled. It's pretty disappointing, and they haven't responded at all on any channel, support, zendesk, social, or otherwise.

Wow, I did not expect to see this today. Great find, @neerajt4!

I love this product. It is amazing and does what it says. Sadly, today I learned I am missing a piece that probably was a decent amount of cost. It is the "tiny float" that makes the light blink if I am low on water. I would love to get a replacement.

Couldn't resist and just bought one. Can't wait to have basil all over the place.

I participated in their Kickstarter campaign and I have one of those at home. It's really awesome :)

Damn you @rrhoover and damn this site. There goes another $99.95...
