The Power Plant is a great indoor soil less gardening system that enables you to grow fruit, flowers, herbs etc. indoor all year round. No soil or garden is needed. Just water and a power supply.

The gadget was designed by the American space agency’s scientists to help astronauts get their five-a-day while on missions. Power Plant using a growing technique called aeroponics, uses an internal microjet system that constantly sprays hundreds of tiny jets of water on to the roots of plants. Scientists say that this system leads to far quicker growth than normal because super-oxygenated, nutrient rich water is supplied. Commercial growers already use it on a larger scale.

As the plant grows, the owner tops up the gadget with water and nutrient mix. The seeds are planted in a sponge that sits across the top of the device, which is plugged into the mains. The power is what drives the jets. Domes are placed over the seedlings to protect them and encourage their growth. Once they begin to sprout they are removed. If you’re feeding something on a nutrient solution it wouldn’t be organic, but it would still be completely wholesome.
You can grow all your herbs in it. Fresh fruit, such as raspberries, blackberries and tasty cherry tomatoes, and flowers too, as long as they’re from seeds. The crop will begin to sprout within around five days. Traditionally it would take around 120 days to grow a seedling plant. But with the Power Plant, on average, it will take around 90 days. In the summer months when there is more sunlight, then you can expect your herbs and fruit to grow even faster in around 60 days. Homegrown food is good because people like the taste and it’s good for kids to learn.
