I'm in the midst of putting together a buying guide of indoor vertical gardening systems, and the Gardyn--the 30-plant Home 4.0, to be exact--was the first tester to arrive at my house. I had it unboxed and set up within a couple of hours, lights on and water pump running. Sure enough, within a couple of weeks, all of Gardyn's proprietary seed-filled yCubes had sprouted, and a couple of weeks after that, I was harvesting bowlfuls of herbs and salad greens. Even though from setup to harvest the Gardyn required the use of about five brain cells, I was quite pleased with myself, despite having long ago given up gardening outdoors due to deer, rabbits, and my own incompetence with anything other than starts from the big-box store. What I failed to understand, but would come to grasp with subsequent systems, was that indoor hydroponic gardening is just as hard in some ways as outdoor gardening.
