    But can I grow weed?

      Yes.

    Waiting for the “Do nothing salad machine” great video.

    Love the concept but $800 up front and then $30/mo plus your labor to grow about $25 of salad greens? I’m out.

    Fabulous video as always, Bridgette. But you missed one other problem. This company will not last. Which means in a year or so you’ll lose access to that app, those cute little pods, and assistance when those lights or pumps inevitably fail. Sorry, this isn’t sustainable.

      You make a good point, curious though, how do you know the company will not last? Is this an opinion or do you have data?

    What do you think of smart hydroponics? Are you ready to start growing your greens at home?

  9. Fred R.

    October 6, 2020 at 2:05 pm

    It is not cheap, but at least you know where you greens are coming from and that no chemical were used.
    This would have been a very big hit in high density Asian areas where the origin and quality of vegetables is problematic. Too bad for this company… the concept and technology will be copied and sold for 1/3 of the price very soon.

    • Julian Garcia

      October 6, 2020 at 6:43 pm

      Isn’t there also concerns as to where the seeds come from? Not sure if they have addressed this… I’m not that well versed in all of this, so this is very much a question.

    i was going to stop watching at $800 but i stayed. then you said SUBSCRIPTION! and that is where i went to my next video. this company is trying to have its cake ($800) and eat it too ($30 a month)

    “Pizza with Bezo”??

  22. Vedraj r.m

    October 6, 2020 at 9:48 pm

    Those replacements pods are creating a lot of plastic waste.
    Might be better to just replace the fillings

    If you’ve got too much basil, you can crunch and mix it together with some sugar and sprinkle it on lemon sorbet ice cream. It’s delicious!

    I always felt your script and presentation were too scripted and ridged. I liked this video for looser feel. And the cute kid definitely helped.

    Did she mention the increase in energy costs or water costs?

  30. Trace Holt

    Great concept, but lower the cost and skimp on the tech like camera and app subscription

    One good thing about COVID is it’s fun seeing people’s actual lives. Cute kid, I love how you involved them in the video and review.

    Also, $800 is way too much. Then they want $30 a month for $30 worth of seeds per year? Also, no.

    I’m totally free from financial distress. I couldn’t believe it myself i am getting $5200 richer each week that passed by. Thanks to Mr Nicholas Myron who makes this possible.

    Is the food the plants take toxic to us and are the plants hybrids that are genetically modified?

    Bridget, I think this is one of your best stories.
    Please make your own YT channel, to be able to watch your videos more often. I mean, you have your own YT channel for sure, but you should go for it appart from CNET.

    Very cool concept especially as i like growing plants (Did it with Chilli’s in the past) and this makes it easier but its too expensive and the pods produce a lot of plastic waste.

    $800 to get started and then $30 a month!! I don’t think so. I’ll stick to the old fashion method of growing veggies in an outside garden. Fun video, though.

    How do you get a job testing this stuff? Bet it’s cool with the right products. Used to do it for cars, lorries and some motorcycles. Seemed like fun until you get bored with hotel rooms lol.

    What a waste of plastic!! It would be great if the pods were reusable.
