Why We Love This Deal
It’s the height of summer, and garden planters everywhere are filled with envy-inducing yields. And though it’ll soon be time to start throwing garden scraps in the composter, that doesn’t mean you need to give up growing altogether. This indoor hydroponics garden, which shoppers are raving about, was just marked down by 38% on Amazon.
LetPot LPH-Air Hydroponics Growing System Kit, $56 (was $90) on Amazon
Why Do Shoppers Love It?
The idea of fresh-picked herbs and farm-to-table food is incredibly alluring, but rarely acted upon. However, the LetPot LPH-Air acts as a countertop solution for easy herb delivery. One hand can stir the pot while the other picks fresh oregano, basil, and more, for the most intense of flavors. Plus, as hydroponic units let plants focus on growth over root development, so herbs and small fruits will develop quicker than expected, giving a constantly emerging supply of new, edible bits to munch on.
This kit comes with everything you need to install 10 seedlings (or germinate your own) and start growing, including nutrient mixes and full-spectrum lighting that meets plants’ needs. Largely plug and play, the LetPot LPH-Air has a water meter on the side to remind you to periodically refill the unit. Plus, there’s an app that will help guide you through the process, provide notes about your plants, program the lights, and more.
What Shoppers Should Know
- Size: 15-by-5-by-7 inches.
- Plant Pod Sites: 10.
- Tank Size: 4 Liters.
- Materials: The LetPot base is made from BPA-free resin.
- Best Use Case: Small herbs and plants that stay under 17 inches.
The LetPot has a small body under 4 pounds before filling. It holds 10 plant pods and up to 4 liters of water (enough for two to three weeks in a fully-filled unit) in its BPA-free body. The lights above the station are raisable to 17 inches, making this unit excellent for kitchen herbs and small fruiting plants.
What Shoppers Are Saying
- “I’m less than two weeks in and have healthy-looking sprouts for broccoli, parsley, basil, cilantro, and squash.”
- “Setup took maybe 10 minutes, and everything felt intuitive and well-designed.”
- “The system is sleek and modern, fitting nicely into my space.”
As can be expected, comparisons to the AeroGarden were everywhere in shopper reviews. “I bought the Aerogarden Harvest and the LetPot system, and planted the same seeds. This hydroponic system grew everything planted so quickly, while the Aerogarden harvest took double the time,” said one. Another added that it’s “a fraction of the cost of the Aerogarden and all the supplies are compatible with both.”
The LetPot LPH-Air Hydroponics Growing System Kit is down to $56 for a limited time. Don’t let your garden envy go to waste.
