Are you missing being able to eat lettuce due to the recent cyclosporiasis outbreak? I'm not. Not because I'm throwing caution to the wind and buying it anyway, but because I'm growing multiple types of organic lettuce myself, in my own house, in less than a few square feet. And you can too.
\n\nFor the past year, I've been testing various indoor smart garden systems in my home, which have given me year-round access to fresh tomatoes, peppers, strawberries, and even zucchini. Most of them are easy for anyone to set up and use, with minimal space and maintenance requirements—there's an indoor gardening setup for just about any household.
\n\nThe Gardyn Home 4.0 ($899), for example, offers total success with no green thumb required if you pay for a subscription, while the Auk Mini 2 ($239) is the perfect attractive yet low-maintenance solution for those who just want fresh herbs. Are these gardens worth it? How much can you really grow? How can you be sure which option is best for your specific lifestyle? See which gardens stood out in testing and why, and which might be ideal for your home and needs.
