I love gardening outside, but an indoor garden system lets you grow fresh herbs and veggies right on your countertop. To do our diligence and find the best systems for your kitchen, we tested 18 indoor gardens at our homes across the country. | I love gardening outside, but an indoor garden system lets you grow fresh herbs and veggies right on your countertop.

Our testing confirmed that those with grow lights were more successful—during our separate test of grow lights, we found that plants grew 81 percent taller on average versus just natural lighting. | Our testing confirmed that those with grow lights were more successful—during our separate test of grow lights, we found that plants grew 81 percent taller on average versus just natural lighting. | ||
=====JunkyardHydro - a Modular Ebb and Flow DIY Hydroponics System===== | |||

Hello! I reside in Canada and in this instructable I will be showing you how to convert junk materials and appliances/objects in disuse into a modular ebb and flow hydroponics system. I recently got interested in hydroponics as well as other self-sustaining systems, so I decided to create one out of waste materials. I will also be outlining 2 methods in order to create the water delivery system to make this hydroponic setup work. One simply uses a water pump or a small fish tank filter, while the other design uses an air pump in conjunction with a large water bottle. I opted to go with using an actual water pump/filter method for the final system, but I also explain how to make a water pump using an air pump as well. | |||
