More benefits than an actual garden with way fewer drawbacks
The media could not be loaded. Video is a Timelapse from 12/16 to 2/1. Images are of our Gardyn Studio and our first harvest. Pros * Well packaged, super easy to put together. Included a QR code to download app which had video guiding you through putting together, but also text instructions. * Nice simple design * Taking care of plants is pretty straightforward—and literally because you don’t have to bend down to the ground like with regular plants * The silver button is nice for when you have to turn off the lights for maintenance. Some people think the light is too bright—and buckle up for that first time because it’ll make you wonder if your eyelids still work—but we like it. Often we don’t even turn on the overhead lighting in that room. But it’s a nice hue anyway. * Most of the maintenance is pretty simple, a bit intimidating at first but easy to pick up. * The Timelapse feature is really cool. * My husband actually put a struggling succulent on the Gardyn’s base to soak up some of the light and it’s improved! * We wouldn’t be able to grow this variety of plants without it. * No dirt * At the risk of stating the obvious, it’s so cool to be able to grow small amounts of plants at home. I was making scrambled eggs with goat cheese and wanted to add basil but we didn’t have any dried basil in the cabinet—so my husband just harvested me a little basil from the Gardyn, and the eggs were delicious. Cons * The app isn’t as tailored as it seems to be in the videos. For instance it doesn’t actually tell you which plants need attention; it just says like “time to trim your plants” and gives you a general article about pruning, but to find out more about your specific plants you have to find their details separately and it doesn’t even bookmark what your current plants are. This would definitely be a helpful feature to add! It seems like it should do this because it has cameras and sensors and an AI assistant. * The subscription is kind of expensive; they make it worth it but it’s just a bit of a pricier upkeep than we originally realized. But you can grow as few or as many as you want (well up to 16 for this model) at a time. * The temperature and humidity sensor appears to be at the back of the base and not where the plants are actually growing, which is kind of weird.
