Indoor hydroponics garden: Grow plants and herbs inside

From Not on the High Street, we recommend this self-watering Acqua Smart Garden, which allows you to grow your own fresh produce wherever you live and whatever your lifestyle may be. After all, nothing beats the flavour of homegrown herbs. Simply set it up, add seeds, and this system does the rest.

This sophisticated solution is a high-end option that offers the useful functionality of being able to control the unit wirelessly, thanks to the built-in Wi-Fi and companion app. There are two planting modes; one for veggies, and one for fruit plants and flowers. The three-level height adjustment allows you to set the grow light in the perfect position. The water circulation system aerates and has a handy alert setting if the water level is getting low.

Customer Review: "I love this thing! I have two berry plants growing already! I can also see others starting to sprout."

Technology fans, this one is for you. This AeroGarden Elite indoor garden has a touch screen to control the system and guides you through the setup process, controlling everything from the water chamber to lighting and colours. This helps to keep full control of your garden as it grows.

Customer Review: "This has exceeded my expectations. I am an avid vegetable gardener. I live in So. Cal. The drought and water shortage make it hard to grow herbs year round because, after tomato season, I shut down my garden and cover it with fall leaves. This will allow me to grow herbs year round without any water waste!!! I’m actually considering buying another one to try a few tomatoes inside next year. I love getting up every morning and checking out what the screen is saying. It checks in with tips and such. So much fun! Highly recommend."

Make it simple and easy with these three vases to help guide you into the hydroponic lifestyle. Held up on a wooden support, these bulb vases look sweet and will suit nicely in a kitchen or on a windowsill. They're more aesthetically pleasing than other hydroponic systems and help to ease you into indoor gardening with hydroponics.
This doesn't have a light source included, so is better for more simple hydroponic growing.

Customer Review: "What a brilliant device. Lovely wooden feature, easy to assemble, with large glass bulbs. Currently growing oak trees in them. It is brilliant! Worth the money!!"

Up your growing game with this seven-litre hydroponic system, with a trellis included. This is made for those serious gardeners out there looking for a challenge. If you've worked with hydroponic gardening for a few years, you may want to up your game into this larger style.
Still as simple as other hydroponic systems. Just pop in fertilizer and water, and the hydroponic garden will work its own magic. You can grow larger plants and foods like tomatoes, aubergines, peppers and more.

Customer Review: "So glad this indoor garden came up in my Amazon search!! Was looking for something that I could grow taller vegetables in. It is very sturdy, and seems to be of good quality - I have several indoor gardens (Aerogarden FarmPlus, iDoo) that are higher tech but are limited in height. It's an easy setup as well. Couldn't find replacement grow sponges for it but ordered Grodan Rockwool cubes that will work perfectly. So far, so good with this product - looking forward to my cucumbers, beans & peas!! Highly recommend!!"
