    Click and Grow?

    We have a few herbs in the garden (rosemary, thyme, bay...) but I was thinking of using one of those click and grow thingy in our north facing kitchen for stuff like parsley, basil, coriander...)



    Would like to know if some here use it, prior to possibly making a WTB thread or going on the Bay.

    I've got one of these (the 9 pot version).

    Really good for herbs and also chillies. Yields on the tomatoes aren't worth it though

    Just looking on their website and all the plants look quite squashed it. Maybe this is fine and they’re quite happy, I’m no expert gardener just a casual observation.

    Is it just hydroponic lights? I'd save it for the White Widow.

    What you need is a couple of Porsche headlights.

    I have resisted going artificial light for many years. But small kitchen window facing north means than all our attempts have withered miserably. We both cook virtually all our meals so I miss having some herbs at my disposal (other than the ones in the garden). And the ones I want to have at hand not only would struggle to survive the climate fall prey to the ferocious slugs; and as there is a field at the end of the garden they come back every time I try to exterminate them.
