One potential downside worth noting: The herbs are grown in burlap sacks rather than actual pots, so they might not be the sturdiest option. This kit also comes with four packets of herb seeds: cilantro, large-leaf Italian parsley, English thyme, and Genovese basil. Measuring 4 x 7 x 7 inches, its compact size is ideal for almost any windowsill, countertop, or table. It includes four gardening shears, four burlap grow bags, four potting soil disks, four bamboo plant markers, and an attractive wood box that doubles as a planter. This affordable herb garden from Garden Republic makes the perfect starter kit. Type of Herbs: None provided | Capacity: 12 plants | Dimensions: 15.8 x 7 x 9.6 inches | Container Material: Not listed | Placement: Indoor | Special Features: Self-watering, hydroponic, grow light Be sure to take advantage of the one-year warranty if you encounter any problems or defects. We have read some reports of parts breaking within a short period of time, specifically the water pump. Other convenient features include a window, so you can easily monitor how much water is in the tank, and an adjustable lamp head that can accommodate plants in various growth stages. The three-step germination kit makes this unit very easy to set up (although it's important to note that seeds are not included). We also love that this unit has two growing modes, so you can create the ideal light conditions for vegetables as well as fruit and flowers. According to the manufacturer, this hydronic system grows plants 20 percent more quickly than the traditional soil planting method. The 22-watt LED grow lights provide a full spectrum of sunlight for optimal plant growth. Thanks to its self-watering system, automatic timer, and built-in fan for pollinating, this innovative unit cares for itself and has room for 12 plants.
