Description
Ah, the natural world... amazing in its minutiae, beguiling in its unexplored depths, dazzling in its vibrancy... a bit messy though, isn't it? Anyone who's spent a mud-sodden afternoon down the allotments just to keep an eye on the veggies will tell you that yes, that smell is them, and no, they certainly didn't have a nice time. Surely as they scrape next week's Sunday lunch off those caked boots they must dream of an easier, less brown way of living The Good Life?
Try the Power Plant Growing Machine, a perfect way to creep up behind Mother Nature and shoo her along a bit. Basically, all you need to do with this growing machine is pop some seeds into the provided sponge (that's right, no mud or compost to speak of here), add some water and nutrients (also included), put the lid on and wait for a couple of days. Then just remove the lid and pop some humidadomes (that's science-speak for 'little plastic lids') over the shoots and just sit there. Well, maybe don't just sit there, it's a bit like watching paint dry.
Sooner than you'd think, you'll have tiny little peppers, berries, herbs, flowers or whatever it is you've decided to plant. It all happens thanks to the spiffingly clever aeroponics system (science-speak for 'making plants grow all proper'), which makes sure your precious plants are nice and warm and well-fed by the machine's internal microjet, which fires (in the most gentle way possible, of course) oxygenated and nutrient-rich water at your plants. The only maintenance you need to perform yourself is to reap what you've sown and enjoy all the fresh produce you can cram in there. The Power Plant Growing Machine is the ideal gadget for anyone who likes the idea of growing your own plants and edibles but has a distinct aversion to hard work.
- The Power Plant Growing Machine takes the hard work and mess out of growing plants.
- Grow herbs, spices, fruit, vegetables, flowers or anything you can fit in the machine.
- Just plant the seeds, water, cover with the humidadomes and let the machine do the rest.
- Microjet fires oxygenated water and nutrients at your plants to help them grow quickly and healthily.
- No soil or compost required, just put the seeds into the provided sponge.
- Perfect for those without a garden.
- All required nutrients included.
- Please note - does not include seeds.
- Suitable for ages 14 years +.

Excellent little grower
I was a bit sceptical about this little unit but given my wife always manages to forget to water her seeds I thought I’d give it a go and so bought it for her for her birthday. Well, what a revelation! Within one 1 week we had seedlings that were so big we had to remove the little plastic covers / greenhouses that are supplied with the unit. We keep ours in the conservatory, I’m not sure I’d want it in the kitchen simply due to having to trail the power lead over to the window sill, plus the fact that it is a little noisy…..sounds like you have left a tap running / trickling. Overall though I am impressed, it has done exactly what it says it will and the nutrient bottle that the unit comes with should last quite some time, you only have to add the smallest drop to the water to kick things off each time. Cleaning it in between growing things looks to be a bit of a faf although I have not done it yet and to be honest am not sure I will bother until we put it away until next spring. If you want to grow seedlings with very little effort then I thoroughly recommend this gadget.

Good Lord!
This has to be the best thing I've ever bought! The name aeroponics conjured up images of Star Trek-esque technology, and although this isn't quite replicator material, it is still a fantastic bit of kit! Being a serial killer when it comes to plants, I was absolutely amazed to find little green shoots appearing after just three days of planting! The humidomes (Don't you love the terminology?) are in place and I'm expecting my first Jaleponos to fruit in a month or two! This machine has far exceeded my expectations, and iwoot delivered next day! It came well packaged and even after our postie dropped it there was no damage! I couldn't be more pleased! I think I'll buy 10 of these babies and start a garden centre....or a forest....

This is How People From the Future Grow Plants
If the Doctor were growing plants in the Tardis, this is probably how he would do it. Apparently this device uses a growing method called aeroponics which was invented by NASA to grow plants in space. Admittedly that was half the reason I bought the machine. The other reason was that I've forgotten to water every plant I've ever had, so I never have anything green in my house for very long. I was skeptical, but this little machine does basically all of the work for you once you set it up, which doesn't take long at all. You don't even need dirt. If you're lazy, or you have the death touch when it comes to plants this little thing is pretty useful.

Even for the most avid of outdoor gardeners
I purchased this product as a gift for someone during the yuletide season, and despite being a dirt deviant who enjoys the muck between their fingers, she was really taken back this product. Within five minutes of being rescued from the asphyxiating of Christmas wrapping, the Power Plant was unboxed, poked and prodded and then a huge family debate ensued, “I say tomatoes.” “No, basil.” Even the children were intrigued and giving there two cents, “Pepper, pepper, pepper.” In the end, the choice was made and the surprising victor was parsley. An explanation of there not being enough in our diet was given to which we all seceded from our earlier vegetative alliances. With that, it was a mad dash into the shed to find the seeds, of which we are already seeing superb signs of growth. The Power Plant is a definite winner for even the garden-wary, and a great start to get kids involved and enjoying the joy of self providence, during the winter months especially. 5 stars, 10 thumbs up and top marks from any other form of grading that a product could fall under.

Nice Product but it Leaks!
I was impressed with the packaging and the quality of the product, but after adding some seeds and leaving it running over night, I was disappointed to discover it sitting in a pool of water in the morning.
