The Prepara Power Plant Professional ($80) quickly and easily grows fresh herbs, veggies, fruits, plants and flowers hydroponically without dirt. Simply add any seed of your choice to each of the six grow pods and after planting, it automatically dispenses and bathes the roots of each plant in water mixed with super-oxygenated nutrients and rotates the pods so that each plant gets an equal amount of natural sunlight. If all goes correctly, your seeds will sprout quickly in just 4 or 5 days. The compact size, ease of use, lack of mess, sleek design and speed of growth makes this a great addition to your kitchen or a great gift for those who are green thumb challenged. (via Michael Kiely)
