The design meets the growing hydroponic
... And as often happens in these cases both start arm to the crowded shores of uselessness. 
After the dramatic Hydroponic Garden, here here a new gadget dedicated to the cultivation of aromatic plants and flowers.
Perhaps you would like to expose critical eye of your guests trivial jars of earth? Maybe you would like to germinate in old, obsolete, aesthetically unfulfilling blocks of peat, rockwool or other practical materials?
Macchi. The trend is that the object of design, then you spend your 35 pounds (40 euros, plus shipping) and buy yourself this object halfway between the toaster and electric kettle, which, thanks to an advanced technology designed by even NASA (ie hydroponics) will allow you to germinate your seeds (not included).
Even promises excellent results even to those who does not have the famous green thumb.
In reality, the Power Plant Growing Machine, dall'altisonante name, is nothing more than a minimal microscopic idrosistema.
In practice the tank is first filled with water, to irrigate using a sprinkler in the towel placed in the slot at the top.
As soon as the seedlings have sprouted, the fertilizer should be added to water, supplied in the box, and you're done.
At this point you remove the precious strip of cardboard envelope, which had been placed to cover the seeds and young seedlings are placed on the three plastic lids to simulate miniature greenhouse.
This object allows the cultivation of the size derisory three very small plants, and could also be an acceptable toy if it were not for some sin, such as the side window in the tank to monitor the water level. This will filter the light disturbs root development and encouraging the spread of algae in a container too small for easy cleaning.
Unfortunately this kind of gadgets are promoted trumpeting the characteristics of soilless culture: the possibility to grow even in hostile areas, testing NASA superossigenazione, ease of use combined with high technology, then you find yourself in his hands a piece of plastic equivalent to a microwave container with an oxygen, only less practical because of the likely shape and thirty times more expensive.
The risk of spread of these toys, which often prove very disappointing results, is to confuse even more the ideas of the consumer, who may associate a bad Christmas present over the dustbin with the hydroponic cultivation, the real one.
