How to Ensure a Steady Supply of Fresh Vegetables and Herbs
Imagine having a continuous source of fresh lettuce, green salads, and herbs whenever you need them, all from the comfort of your own home. That’s the promise of Click & Grow 25, a revolutionary gardening solution that we’ll explore in this comprehensive guide. From adding water and pots to nurturing your plants within the Click & Grow 25 system, we’ve got you covered.
Why You Should Consider Click & Grow 25
The setup you’re about to discover is slightly different from the standard configurations you may have seen. I was an early supporter of the Click & Grow 25 Kickstarter project, purchasing a set of three units with my own funds. No sponsorship or product support was involved; I was genuinely enthusiastic about the project and the resulting product.
In fact, I even created custom white plexiglass panels before the official accessories became available, significantly reducing screen pollution in the room where the unit is located. Additionally, I invested in the drawer and top shelf for the Click & Grow 25, providing you with a full setup perspective in this guide.
Step-by-Step Instructions for Click & Grow 25
Assembling the Click & Grow 25 is a breeze, thanks to the comprehensive manual included, reminiscent of Ikea furniture instructions. Setting up the Click & Grow 25 is a simple process, even if it’s been more than six months since I first acquired the three units. While I didn’t capture the assembly process in photos, rest assured that the unit comes with clear instructions, and there’s even a video guide on their website if needed.
Each unit includes its own power supply, making it hassle-free to set up and start growing plants.
Getting Started with Growing Plants
Here’s how you get started:
Remove the five trays and fill the generous water reservoir between the two water level indicators.
Select your preferred plants and place the pods in each tray. You can conveniently manage them using the app on either your iPhone or Android device.
If you opted for the drawer accessory, you’ll appreciate the ability to store pods and gardening essentials neatly under your Click & Grow 25 garden unit, providing both convenience and an aesthetically pleasing setup.
You also have the option to experiment with different pod types for your garden, although it’s essential to research and ensure they are the right size and meet your criteria, such as non-GMO status. However, Click & Grow offers a selection of pods that work seamlessly with their system, making it easy to get started.
Additionally, there are a few handy hacks you can employ to optimize plant growth and reduce the risk of mold on the soil. For instance, I found cost-effective lids with holes at a local builders market, which proved to be a helpful addition to the Click & Grow 25 experience.
