I love this system. I have tried to grow vegetables and fruits for the past 2 years in soil indoors, with no fruits from my labor. I thought trying a water based system couldn't hurt. I always like trying new things, so I researched hydroponic systems and chose this one. I'm glad I did, now I have some kale, collard greens, peppers, lettuce, basil and more growing. I'm ready to harvest my basil now and it has only been 30 days. I'm thinking about getting another system because I need more herbs, vegetables.
