A while back an awesome gadget caught my eye and I just had to have one. The ZeroSoil Mini Indoor Garden is "the latest in smart water control technology and advanced self-watering planter and hydroponic techniques." For growers of all levels, this is going to work in whichever way you may need. If you don't have a green thumb but would love even the smallest house plant, this will help you get yourself started!
Each ZeroSoil Mini Indoor Garden starter kit includes everything you need - Basin body, Water control system, Flower pot (x2), Planter covers (x2), Nutrient rich organic grow medium (x2 8 oz bags), and AAA batteries (x2). Once it arrives there is very little set up and little to no maintenance. Every once in a while the indicators will let you know when you need to refill the water reservoir or change the batteries. Once your plant is grown all you need to do then is replant and start a new plant!
Honestly one of my favorite things about this is that I don't have to worry about dirt! My cat just loves to get into the dirt of my potted indoor plants so this is a major plus for me! I feel like this worked extremely well especially for my hard to grow lettuce seeds as you can see from the pictures.
Cost/Available to purchase: $49.95 Sale ($69.95 Reg) ZeroSoil Mini Indoor Garden
Recommendation: You know this is a bit expensive for a garden gadget this small but definitely not when it comes to quality. I don't think the purchase price is all that outrageous for all that it does plus once you have the system the replacement growing medium is only $5!

I am a little confused by the question, lol - I would love to try organic hydroponics. I have never tryed to grown anything this way. I would start off with peppers or something that easily transplants. Thank you, Mary Withrow
ReplyDeleteI love that it monitors your plants water level using low battery and low water indicators. I usually forget to water so this would help me alot
ReplyDeleteI need a indoor garden starter.
ReplyDeleteI could use the drying rack and the book. I live in Florida so the rack would save me electricity,. and the book would give me more information.
ReplyDeleteI would try the tomatoes
ReplyDeleteHmm. Since there is only 1 prize, I would like the starter kit because we sometimes have a hard time growing some of the seeds so I think this will help us. :)
ReplyDeleteI have always been curious as to how easy this system would be. I am an evid gardener and havent tried this method yet.
ReplyDeleteIt would nice to grow some herbs that I could use
ReplyDeleteI don't have an outdoor garden and would love to grow some herbs inside.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the contest.

I have a Monarch butterfly garden with milkweed so this would be wonderful to start them in .
ReplyDeleteI have heard of zero soil systems before but they looked to big to used in my kitchen. I like the looks of this one and could see growing a few herbs for sure!
ReplyDeleteThe starter kit looks like fun! Would love to start at least a small garden this year!
ReplyDeleteI would like the starter kit, as that is the only prize I see as well! I would like to try this with help from my grandchildren.
ReplyDeleteI only see one prize and I love the zerosoil mini indoor garden! I'd love this.
ReplyDeleteI need a indoor garden starter.
ReplyDeletei really want to start growing some veggies and this would be a great way to start
ReplyDeleteI have always wanted to get a hydroponic growing setup since I heard of them some 30 years ago or so. I never have had one, but I still want one for growing kitchen herbs, tomatoes and other small edible plants inside. We have 2 somewhat large windows that face the south side of the house that would be a great spot to set one up. This one is pretty good price since our local places have them starting at about $100 or so. Thanks for the info.
ReplyDeleteI would love this to grow herbs and even my cats catnip! I had a catnip plant inside for awhile but I have lost count on how many times it was knocked onto the floor with MOIST dirt EVERYWHERE! I have stained the carpet in some places and I hate it. So I put it outside and ants where eating it! I just couldnt win...I gave the plant to my mom in which with this past winter being so cold it has killed it. UGH...I would love to start another one but dont want the hassle of dirt and all like before. Not sure how this would do with weeds such as catnip and some herbs but im willing to give it a try if I win!
ReplyDeleteI love that it doesn't take soil, it monitors you water levels, and can be used inside.
ReplyDeleteI like the water level monitor. I'm trying to teach the kids how much to water the plants.
ReplyDeleteI don't have any luck in growing plants from seeds whatsoever. This kit would be of much help. I like its compact design and the water control system.
ReplyDeleteI would like to start growing my own herbs with the indoor gardener.

I'm confused by the question but I would love to give this a try. I always start my seeds indoors and make a huge mess. This is an attractive way to get things going vs the big black trays that take up so much space and leave a mess.
ReplyDeleteOh I would so love to have this for growing herbs in the kitchen! So much simpler than trying to keep them from taking over the vegetable beds. :)
ReplyDeleteIt would nice to grow some herbs in my kitchen
ReplyDeleteThis is one of the most amazing things I have ever seen! I have just gotten too sick to be able to even maintain a small outdoor herb garden so this would be perfect for me!
ReplyDeleteWe have a super short growing season so this would be awesome to get more plants started. I would also love to have an herb garden in the kitchen that doesn't take a ton of space.

I live ina condo in the city so this would be perfect for me to grow some herbs, or even some grass for my cat. Love the idea!
ReplyDeleteWe have such a limited growing season here that this would be nice for some fresh produce in the 'off season'
ReplyDeleteI think if I am not mistaken the best clothes drying rack is part of the prizes.. I really need something like that!
ReplyDeletei love the mini garden i would use it to grow herbs and or grass for my fur children
ReplyDeleteI would love to grow fresh herbs. We don't have the yard space to grown them where we currently live
ReplyDeleteWe finally got are own house not a lot of garden space but this would be cool for it mini indoor garden
ReplyDeleteI think growing tomatoes indoors would be really fun!
ReplyDeleteMiz Vickik
I need all the garden cages I can get
ReplyDeleteI need an indoor garden starter. I really enjoy planting and would like to start my seeds indoors when it is still freezing out.
ReplyDeleteI would love to have an indoor mini garden because my daughters could learn all about planting and growing plants. It would be fun, educational, and they would love the end result as well!
ReplyDeleteMy poor herbs took a dive just recently. It's because we've started composting and the fruit flies occasionally get in the kitchen. Then they roost in the soil for the herbs. :( I would love to have a soil-less option to keep my herbs healthy and strong. That's the best thing of going without soil - less pests! :)
ReplyDeleteI am an avid gardener and this type of growing fascinates me! I think it would be both fun and educational to experience this type of growing medium. I would love to see it work and experience growing successfully in the winter.
ReplyDeleteI would love this so I could grow some herbs and have the best indoor garden ever!
ReplyDeleteThis garden looks very nice. Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteHi! I ordered the zerosoil mini garden after seeing your review and just got it this week. I have a question: Did your instructions tell you what to do with the grey foam material and 8 white tubes? The instructions that came with mine did not tell me at all what to do with them. And I didn't realize they came in the box until after I followed the instructions which basically said "Take out pot. Pour planting material in pot".
ReplyDeleteSo I had to first search in the internet for your review to see pictures of how you set them up and then do some post-setup fixing of the garden.
Just curious - and putting this as an FYI for others who might want to buy it. It's great, but the instructions are a bit incomplete!

I put the grey foam at the bottom and stuck the tubes through the holes as the water is supposed to travel up the tubes to water the plant and moisten the dirt. This has worked amazing for me and my plants which are in it growing like crazy!
