Headline: Rotating Indoor Garden Lets You Grow Your Own Herbs And Veg At Home

Caption: A French Canadian start-up has created a space-saving way to grow your own herbs and small plants at home – an indoor rotating garden. The OGarden enables users to plant and grow herbs and other plants in a small rotating wheel which revolves around a grow light placed at the device’s centre. The makers claim this system of growing, which also includes an “organic nourishing mixture” being fed to plants as they turn, can produce up to four vegetables a day once the initial two-to-three week growing period is over. They also say the rotation of the wheel and the effect of gravity and the grow light can produce stronger, more robust vegetables. Up to 90 plants can be grown at the same time in the second generation indoor garden. The eye-catching wheel can accommodate 60 plants, while an LED lit nursery shelf in the housing below can take 30. OGarden says the system is a smart alternative to the large space and range of equipment needed normally needed for indoor growing and can be easily maintained with around five minutes of work each day. The device is the result of a successful Kickstarter, having raised more an £202,000 having only set a target goal of £22,000. Kickstarter pledges for the OGarden Smart System – which includes the device itself, seed cups and some greens to get you started – start at £430. If all goes to plan, shipping is estimated to start in May (19).
