In-home hydroponic garden (concept)

nano-garden-1.jpeg.492x0_q85_crop-smartShown here is a pretty slick concept for an in-home hydroponic garden designed by Hyundai.  At this point it’s just a concept, but I’ll admit it has me thinking about designing and building something like this myself.  Hydroponics are nothing new, but what this concept does is make it look good, like something you don’t feel the need to hide away in your basement.

Self-watering earthenware planter

The idea behind self-watering planters is pretty simple – they’re basically pots that hold extra water, designed to provide water as needed to the plants without drowning their roots.  Usually, however, they’re made from cheap plastic, or else are DIY adaptions of ceramic pots.  Here’s a cool one though from from designer Joey Roth, made from unglazed earthenware.  The center column holds the water, and since the pot is porous, water can seep out as needed into the surrounding soil.  Simple, eco-friendly, and looks great too.  Available for $45 preorder at this website.  Apart from decorative purposes, one great use for this would be as a small herb garden!
