It's fine but at $800 you'd have to buy it as a furniture. If you're going to keep it in your garage you could just make a diy system at 1/10th of the cost.

2 years ago I bought my 1st tower garden from someone on Facebook marketplace, it worked great and it gave me the confidence to finally start growing in ground, now I'm up to 5 tower gardens 😅 they are part of my garden now and only payed a fraction of the price for each

I have one of these and to me it is worth it. In a year it makes up for it's price and it helps me remember what I need to do.

I just recently purchased this Gardyn and so far I am very happy with it. The primary reason I got it was to grow lettuce and greens. I live in central Florida and eat a lot of salad and am unable to grow it in the depths of hell. Looking forward to many harvests.

System looks great but at $700 (30 plant cubes included) and $5 a plant cube thereafter just seems insanely high priced.

I recently moved to a 1.5 acre lot and I really have been inspired by you I hate the waste of a lawn I think everyone should be growing their own food. So far I’ve built a 10’x20’ greenhouse a small little garlic raised bed, a rhubarb patch and this years addition is 2 8’x 4’ raised beds. I also do containers on my deck and grow bag potatoes. I am definitely not a great gardener but I keep telling myself I’ll get better every year. Thanks for the inspiration here’s hoping for a good harvest this year and I’ll think about next years addition to the “farm “

Thanks for doing a complete review. I have some small hydroponic gardens and really wanted to see how this one worked.

I love these systems that includes apartments and people with harsh winters, seems pretty worthwhile if you can swing the initial cost and the ycubes. What this is worth depends on the person, but seems like a pretty well-thought out system for something available on the market now.

[nikkipowers]

We love our Gardyn. I use it for herbs and lettuce. While it isnt the cheapest system, it definitely takes the thinking out. Its kept in my basement and I check on it when the app tells me to. Otherwise, I leave it alone until harvest time!

A family member purchased one of these for my family. Since we love garden fresh veg, but we live in an apartment. Which I figured was an awesome gift. Until a year and half later. The bright lights can be a nuisance being confined in a small area, it lights up my whole apartment. The price of the certain cups change from time to time. They do not inform you if you grow certain things it might stunt the growth of other things you have going. Or even compete for the nutrients. I never have grown hydroponics before. I figured this was gonna be a fun enjoyable experience. Nope. Nothing but problems, algae, hard water build up, black gnats. The camera only works when it wants to. The time lapse was a fail on my gardyn. And if you don't know you plug each spot with a cube, later you find things are not getting enough air flow. Just keep those small things in mind...

[KellieDTravis]

That's pretty cool!! Seems like it would be a great system for someone like me that's never used hydroponics before

[terrivance]

Kevin,
Hmmm... 🤔 Looks like what you'd get if ya crossed Keurig w/ gardening, K-cups & all...except the K-cups hold seed. 😉

[northerngirlhobbies]

Cool system for sure. I'd love one for winter growing as we are in Ontario and have a short gardening season for fresh goods.

[ediem]

I have the Gardyn.... it was regularly creating algee on all the pods. So I took it apart... cleaned every part. Put it back togegether, but removed the pump. And I do not put water in the resevoir. Instead I just pull each pod out and fill the small pod holders with water every day or two. The stuff grows the same... but no algee. I have issues with gardyn because they charge a fortune for each pod. And not all of what they send you takes. So I don't buy anything from them anymore.

[Lisa-zppc]

Bought one and really enjoyed the 1st year. 2nd and 3rd were iffy. During summer I can't keep the house cool enough to keep things from bolting. And I find the total breakdown/clean a huge task. Was hoping you'd go over the best way to clean and products used. I'm taking a break from it but might try again in fall without the membership. And the cubes/memership are expensive. Did find it better/cheaper to use my own seeds and not pay the membership. I love the concept and look.

[elph]

The price makes this unobtainable for me. I do think it's worth it. It looks good and would lead to a lot of conversation among friends and family. Imagine having people harvest their own salad greens at a get-together. How fun and novel.

[LisaTrunkenbolz]

this is a wonderful review and I love all your shares. at this point, I have great concern for plastics being made and sold. i even got excited about one of these about 4 years ago when talks of food shortage filled the news, and im glad i didnt do it. folks get so amped up by one of these videos, or the idea, and in less than a year this plastic is in a landfill.

[mmmsshenanigans]

Definitely out of my price range but for what it is I think it's a good idea. Having an app that helps to monitor things with reminders is a great idea for forgetful gardeners. Not sure if the price is worth it but the idea really is great.

[vishmohan_]

I have had this (and other hydroponic systems) for years and really like it. Definitely expensive and there are much cheaper, smaller alternatives. Best for greens and herbs and some flowers, especially if you also have an outdoor garden like me.

Thinking about trying it. I hate buying lettuce in the store and dealing with all of the plastic. We eat lots of salad, so using this for greens and doing my tomatoes in pots outside sounds like a plan.
