Fresh herbs, vegetables and co. not only taste good, they are also healthy. Practical smart garden systems make cultivation in your own four walls child’s play. You can find out how the small indoor gardens work here.

Plants need light, water and nutrients to grow. Not every hobby gardener is granted a green thumb and so (almost) fully automatic smart garden systems are conquering households. These are smart indoor gardens that allow plants to be grown in any home. This makes it easy to grow and harvest your own kitchen herbs or crops such as fruit or vegetables. The smart garden systems do the work for you because they independently supply the plants with water, light and nutrients. The smart system is not only practical for people without a green thumb, longer vacation trips are also no problem because the plants can be cared for independently at home. Cold temperatures and other environmental influences cannot harm the plants indoors, so you can harvest your own herbs, fruit and vegetables all year round. You can read here how the small ecosystem works and what smart gardens there are.

How do smart garden systems work?

Most smart garden systems are based on hydroponics. It is a form of plant husbandry in which the plants are not rooted in the earth but in water. In contrast to hydroponics, there are no replacement substrates in the indoor garden, because the roots are optimally aerated thanks to the smart technology and are automatically supplied with nutrients by the system. Under these optimal conditions, the plants should be able to develop particularly quickly. All you have to do is supply the Smart Garden with water and connect it to a power source.
