Wow, this is a great idea! I've just discovered this and what a fantastic way to grow your own organic herbs, vegetables and more. They have a huge description that explains everything, click on the Amazon link to read it through, it's very interesting.

After I read the book, Fast Food Nation, I'm more aware of our foods, how they are prepared and the harm it's doing to us. This is a great alternative!

Here is the short description...

Perfect for growing your own herbs.
Every household chef needs this!
A good way for a green thumb to save some green because buying herbs at the market fresh can be very costly.

A great idea especially for NYC apartments like mine where I can't have a garden. The light is appealing to the eye, not too harsh, and plants do grow quickly. It's easy to replace the pods and grow different herbs as well!

i want one of these so much... my husband has a huge garden outside, but it's a pain in the ass finding and grabbing something quickly. with this it would be so easy...
