The Kitchen Counter Herb Garden

The Kitchen Counter Herb Garden from Hammacher Schlemmer is one of the most space age-y coolest things around. It is an aeroponic (grown in the air) indoor garden that uses a micro-processor that automatically adjusts nutrient and light delivery and alerts you when to add water and more nutrients to the herbs. Aeroponics is a form of gardening developed by NASA which allows healthy plants to grow without soil, sunlight, weeds, pesticides, or gardening experience. The Kitchen Counter Herb Garden holds seven pods of gourmet herbs: dill, chives, cilantro, oregano, spearmint, and two varieties of basil. The best thing is that the garden be used with other seed pod sets such as cherry tomatoes and salad greens which are available for $20 each. The machine that makes all the magic happen comes in black or white. The Kitchen Counter Herb Garden is $150. All the way to the moon and back these herbs will taste delicious with freeze dried spaghetti! [more info]
