This past winter,<\/span> Plantaform\u2019s new smart indoor garden arrived at my Brooklyn home. I was excited at the prospect of growing heads of leafy green lettuce, channeling my inner Mark Watney, the left-on-Mars botanist in The Martian<\/em>. Like many apartment dwellers, I don\u2019t have access to a backyard garden, and even if I did, it was below freezing outside. The giant, space-age-egg growing system promised low effort with high yields using Plantaform\u2019s innovative fogponics watering system.<\/p>\n

Similar to aeroponic systems, where roots are suspended and sprayed with a nutrient-rich spray, Plantaform employs ultrasonic foggers to generate the visible, \u201cnutrient-rich\u201d fog that hydrates the roots and plants, rather than traditional nozzles or sprinklers. At $750, Plantaform\u2019s indoor garden is not to be confused with the tabletop gardens that proliferate on Amazon, even though it’s closer in size to those than similarly priced competitors like Gardyn<\/a> or Rise<\/a>.<\/p>\n

On Your Mark<\/h2>\n
