Herbert - Hydroponic vertical farm: simple, clean, 40% more efficient

@alexander_penzias Hey, very cool! Looking forward to having my own thai basil :D

@alexander_penzias How would you say this compares to something like the Aerogarden Bounty? Use of the wall rather than counter space obviously, but anything else? Also, experience with strawberries makes me think wall hanging might not be great (berry weighs down branch until the branch breaks or the berry falls - splat). Do you have a tray or something to add on for those?

@naweg our LED lights are a bit more powerful and make the plants grow a bit quicker, even than it is the case with the Aerogarden Bounty. In the video we shared on Kickstarter you can see a timelapse which we took over the course of 17 days and in which you can see how quickly plants in Herbert can grow. The fertilizer we are offering has also given us very satisfactory results in the tests we have conducted over the past two years. The strawberry seeds we are offering are hanging strawberries so they won't simply fall of or break branches due to their weight. However, we have tested various types of strawberries but never encountered this problem. Nonetheless we are also working on a tray that you can install in Herbert when you want to harvest fruits, herbs, or salads. Thank you very much for your question!

@trackingcarina thank you very much! We recommend 12h to 14h per day but you can change the light settings as you'd like. If you have a place where there is a lot of sunlight, you can change the light settings in the app so the LED light works complementary to sunlight.

@trackingcarina you're welcome! Thank you very much for your kind words!

@peter_honeder thank you very much! We are also eager to get the production started after our Kickstarter campaign to bring Herbert to your home!

@sabrinarueck yes, they can all grow in Herbert at the same time. The plants' roots grow directly in water, so they take up water and nutrients whenever they require it. Thank you very much for your compliment and your question! We are looking forward to delivering Herbert to you as soon as possible!

@sabrinarueck you're welcome!

@baboon haha, thank you very much! There are some indoor farming products out there, that is true. However, we've tested quite a few products and we were never really satisfied with the results. Most of them use up horizontal space but almost all of them lack the productivity, so we created something, where we combined aesthetics and design with functionality. We really wanted to enable everyone to create a colorful and edible picture, in which the plants grow very fast! Thank you very much for your compliment, Herbert also says thank you :)!

@alexander_penzias Sure, don't get me wrong, it looks great and I absolutely see the value of what you're saying! But based on the response you got on your Kickstarter I assumed you didn't need my reassurance :)

@baboon haha thanks :)!

@zachherbert sure, in exchange for only one bitcoin ;)

@3x14159265 thanks for your question! The biodegradable sponges in which the plants grow are recommended for one time use only, as remaining organic plant material may rot. Multiple harvests are possible, it just depends on the type of plant you are growing. In our seed selection we offer different types of salads and herbs, some of them can be harvested multiple times, others can only be harvested once.

@katesegrin thank you very much! We created Herbert with exactly these points in mind. With Herbert you can grow fresh vegetables, herbs and strawberries, without using up a lot space, without requiring a lot of effort, or time! Thanks!

@dsky I'm sorry, we didn't notice that you had already hunted us, because we did not get any notifications! We appreciate it and thank you very much for hunting us!

@narek_vardanyan thank you very much for your kind words!
