When it comes to deep cleaning. Does this one just as pain in the ass to clean like old ones ?

[@stephaniekeast2571]

You have convinced me to buy the 3.0, is your code still active?

[@plant4table]

@@stephaniekeast2571 yes, it is still active.

[@arollemd]

Thank you so much for that in-depth comparison! You really can't tell from the website whether it's worth it or not but after having to do the Deep Clean 3 times those little details in the 3.0 make a HUGE difference.

[@helenbothwell3436]

So helpful thank you! It was hard to tell the differences on the website, but you showed all the key upgrades really clearly. Definitely looks like they've put a lot of thought and care into revamping the 3.0!

[@AdrianeBean]

thank you for this!! Been dying to see a full tour of the new version, to see if it's worth the upgrade. Greatly appreciate the detail and side-by-side.

[@thefarmHCTX]

Thanks for walking me throught the set-up!! We're looking forward to getting started.

[@xgreydovex]

So glad I found your channel! It’s been so helpful for a newbie like me. 😊

[@520evans6]

I think I'm in love! Those are amazing upgrades. Thanks for posting!

[@danielleportinga6493]

Thank you for the demo. Just received my iharvest today for my office and ordered the 3.0 gardyn for home. So excited to have green in the clinic and home during the winter months

[@butternut_squish]

Your videos are amazing! thank you for all of your great reviews!

[@MaximumSalad]

Looks great, I've been thinking about this one for indoors, since I have a LG Farmstand outside. Thanks for the review!

[@sweeet313]

I have a 2.0 but the improvements are very good so I just bought a 3.0. Price went up, but that has happened everywhere. Now I will get double the harvest which will save more money and the health benefit is huge. Seems store produce quality isn't like it used to be so I can have really fresh greens all the time. Thank you for the discount too!

[@vavjak]

I have been eyeing the new model, glad you are doing this review so I can decide .

[@plant4table]

This new model is the best. Gardyn team definitely have been listening to our feedbacks and improved their product.

[@yoog1]

Finally easier to clean! Thank you for your review!

[@raginishukla3580]

I am planning to get a Gardyn and this video was very helpful. ❤

[@vavjak]

Thank you for the discount code 💜

[@plant4table]

You are very welcome!

[@chocolatemint9225]

This is terrific, thanks 🙏🏽

[@MorrisandApril]

The Gardyn is what got me interested in the large units. I loved it but saw that it was a hassle to clean and disassemble… I am looking at this comparison and now know I had NO IDEA how difficult the 1st one and 2nd one is. I am not ready to get the Gardyn 3.0. Thank you!

[@plant4table]

I know, the pain... I'm implementing a new routine that does not require to disassemble to keep the system clean. Will post a video soon.

[@Three_little_ducks]

Just wanted to say I love your videos. you make some of the best content on these gardens. I would love to see a comparison video with the iharvest. hoping to buy our first large indoor garden this month with a good sale. :) I was settled on the iharvest but these improvements do have me wondering.

[@plant4table]

The Gardyn is very beautiful and I like the current updates of the 3.0. iHarvest is a good choice too. It really depends on your preferences like I presented in my comparison videos between the 2.

[@glennkonze4920]

Does anyone have pictures of the Gardyn in full bloom? How are you supporting heavy plants (tomatoes, peppers, berries, etc)?

[@christibender2525]

Your videos are amazing! I just watched 4 or 5 of them. Question: in your comparison video you scored Gardyn a 1 for maintenance but in this unboxing of the 3.0 system it seems that some of the issues have been resolved. I'm like you and like the look of gardyn the most, but admittedly would dread the cleaning as described for the 2.0 system. If you were to compare cleaning on 2.0 to 3.0 would you consider the improvements significant?

[@plant4table]

The 3.0 is a significant improvement from the 2.0. It is much easier to assemble and disassemble when it is time time for a deep clean. I think the 3.0 is worth it when it comes to the price difference.

[@DrRygface]

Thank you for these videos!! I just discovered your page and have subscribed 🥳 I want to buy a Gardyn for my husband for Christmas...but then I read reviews on third party websites that make Gardyn sound absolutely horrible! 😦 But your videos have restored my faith that I should go ahead and buy one. My question is - do you (or anyone else reading the comments) have any personal experience with the customer service? I read that it's online only via email with no phone number to call. And people have said things break a lot. I really want one, but I'm nervous. 😬

[@DrRygface]

Also, can you please make a video on how to make your own pods? I've never grown a vegetable in my life!! Haha. It would be great to see a step by step of where you buy seeds, medium, and supplies...and how you put it all together...and then what to do next (germinate?). I'm so new to all of this. Thank you!!

[@plant4table]

I made a video on how I used my own supplies here kzbin.info/www/bejne/rmqtmq1_o7Voh6c I have encountered Gardyn customer service 3-4 times in the past, and they got back to me pretty quickly (all within 24 hours). You can either email them or send them a chat message on Facebook. I prefer FB because I feel like I'm texting someone real time. But that is just a psychological thing, I guess 😅. I was skeptical like you in the beginning and it was even worse in my case because back then, no one did any review. So I took a leap of faith in the way, and I'm glad I did. Good luck!

[@50roads]

Thank you for your videos. The thing I like least about my Gardyn is the seeping between the tubes. Do they connect the same?

[@plant4table]

The way the pieces twist together seems to be the same. I'm not sure if they have done anything to address that. I never had a leak though, just that nutrient builds up over time and becomes solid. Hence the cleaning.

[@Paquerette67]

I just set up my 3.0. I purchased Gardyn based on your previous video reviews. Thanks! Question: Is it still possible to DIY without the membership? Will I still be able to purchase off-brand net pots and rockwool cubes and start my own seeds?

[@plant4table]

Yes, you can absolutely go without the membership. Just buy your own net pots and rockwools. I haven't signed up for membership for years and everything is just fine.

[@Paquerette67]

@@plant4table Wonderful! Thank you for your swift reply.

[@nevermorethan12]

Great video! In your comparison video, you leaned toward iHarvest over Gardyn and Aerogarden. Would you still choose iHarvest or has Gardyn 3.0 taken the lead?

[@plant4table]

I have always loved the look of the Gardyn, even before the 3.0. If I can only own 1 hydroponic system, I would pick a Gardyn, personally. iHarvest is great for plants that have huge root system like cucumbers. It really depends on what you want to grow. You can grow cucumbers in Gardyn too, just more root trimming.

[@nevermorethan12]

@@plant4table Thanks for the reply! I also like the look of Gardyn over iHarvest, and it looks like Gardyn has solved some of the cleaning challenges. Still a hard decision though!

[@MyTube4Utoo]

I think I would actually buy that.

[@ieosv]

Hello there. I love your channel. I have a question and am wondering if u have the calculations- how many units would I need in order to harvest 2 heads of greens every single day? I would even love to harvest 3 heads a day(i eat a lot of greens) but don’t want more than 3 units.

[@plant4table]

I have not crunched the numbers but 3 Gardyns should be able to yield that if all you grow is lettuce.

[@MattGarver]

Thanks for sharing the features of the 3.0. Definitely seems to be a better product. My only question is how much does the reservoir hold in gallons or liters?

[@plant4table]

Gardyn capacity is 6 gallons if I remember correctly

[@MattGarver]

@@plant4table Thanks 💚

[@JacquelinePackard]

Have you seen the Aerospring hydroponic tower? and if yes, what is your opinion of their system?

[@plant4table]

I just looked it up. It seems to take up too much room. I'm not a fan of the 360 degree design because I like something compact to put against the wall. Also, the plants are beautiful to look at, no need to cover them up. Also, Aerospring is a lot more expensive than the Gardyn.

[@Three_little_ducks]

how do you like this new one compared to your iharvest? Do you think it will be easier to clean than the iharvest?

[@plant4table]

Even before the 3.0, I like my Gardyn a little bit better than iHarvest just because of the look, and thats just my personal preference. Cleaning wise, I still think the iHarvest takes less time to clean because the pieces are big. But the flip side is that you can't take everything apart and soak in a sink like you can with the Gardyn, sink iHarvest parts are bulky. It all depends on how you prefer to clean and what you want to grow. When in doubt, get both 😅

[@mikeynuzz]

Hello..is there an APP that works with the unit? Are the pods expensive? Does the lights go on and off?

[@plant4table]

Yes, you can schedule the light and pump as you like. The unit has preset schedule when you receive it. You don't need to purchase the membership for the app to work. The pod is expensive, $4.99 without membership. However, you can grow your own without purchasing anything from Gardyn. I made a video about that. When you purchase the unit, it comes with 30 pods.

[@osmonfrances2407]

Thank you so much for the information. Can you do a video about Green bell peppers? Are they okay to grow & can you do a video of when you can picked them and possibly some recipes for any of the greens that you grow. That would be some nice video''s/.. Just a thought?? Thanks again!!

[@plant4table]

Thank you for your input. I will do more cooking videos in the future to show how I incorporate my hydroponic harvest in my meals.

[@kriskabob]

Hi. My wife wants to start some indoor gardening for herbs and food. I really like the Gardyn, but would that be too difficult to start with, and we should try a smaller Rise Personal, AeroGarden, or ClickToGrow first?

[@plant4table]

Gardyn is as easy as Aerogarden, just more capacity. If you want to try out hydroponic to see how you like it before committing to something like Gardyn, I highly recommend Aerogarden Bounty basic model. I made a video about different Aerogarden models, in case you want to take a look. But other than testing the water, I would skip AG and go straight to a large unit like Gardyn.

[@kriskabob]

@@plant4table Darn it anyhow :( We can't get Gardyn in Canada (other than $2000 via 3rd party). I guess I'll try the Aerogarden.

[@plant4table]

@@kriskabob Oh no :( May be check out iHarvest to see if they ship to Canada. Good luck!

[@hannac6238]

Do you think it will be difficult to clean like the 2.0?

[@plant4table]

It is definitely easier to be taken apart and put back together. I have a 2.0 and a 3.0 that need to be cleaned, and I have decided to just use a bottle brush to clean each of the hole instead of taking the unit apart.

[@yennyjen5742]

Would you recommend the gardyn 2 for a beginner? 😂I am just starting but I think the 3 is a little pricy.

[@plant4table]

Yes, Gardyn 2 is good too, if price is the concern. Try to use code PLANT4TABLE to see if you can take off $125 for Gardyn 2. I know it works for the 3.0.

[@Mikaflyd]

If you don’t mind me asking, do you use the AI service they provide?

[@plant4table]

Nope. As I stated in my other videos, I have never purchased the service. I tried the subscription service for free, which was offered with the purchase initially. I honestly did not see the value in it.

[@Mikaflyd]

@@plant4table do you continue to use gardyn?

[@plant4table]

@@Mikaflyd yes, mine still works after 3 years

[@vinnymac1]

what is your light schedule? also how often do you run the water. I just set mine up. but I didn't subscribe to kelby

[@plant4table]

I didn't change my light schedule since it was on default when I received it. You can make adjustments on the app and you don't need to pay for subscription to use the app.

[@vinnymac1]

@@plant4table so you pay for Shelby?

[@plant4table]

@vinnymac1 I don't pay for anything beyond the one-time purchase price of the Gardyn. Imo, it does not add much value to the product.

@@plant4table OK thanks

[@JeremyJonesinAZ]

How much are you able to harvest to recoup the $800 cost?

[@plant4table]

In about a year you can recoup the cost. I did a cost analysis, please check it out.

[@JeremyJonesinAZ]

@@plant4table do you recommend this or the iHarvest?

[@DChos3n1]

How does this system work with water softener?

[@plant4table]

My water is softened and they do fine

[@DChos3n1]

@@plant4table Thanks. I got the answer from Gardyn and they do not recommend it: ------ Thank you for reaching out to Gardyn, we are happy to help! We do not recommend using softened water that is processed through a water softening system (typically installed at the household level). Most water softeners use sodium chloride, which can cause a gradual build-up of sodium in your Gardyn, hurting your plants. If you have a water softening system, we recommend using untreated municipal water in your Gardyn instead.

[@plant4table]

@DChos3n1 I have softened water that can be switched back to hard water. I don't see the difference in the short term, at least for the lettuces and herbs. But yes, for my plants outdoors, I use hard water.

[@xiaoxiaodesign]

How much electricity this will use?

[@plant4table]

I have a video breaking down all the costs. I would say less than $10 a month.

[@gbriank1]

Rubberwood is fantastic for areas with high humidity and desired longevity. I really like how they simplified the process. Do you still have your discount code for us?? Question, does this model need to be attached to a wall?

[@plant4table]

Please use code PLANT4TABLE to save $125 on a Gardyn

[@attc5906]

I would buy this if there was a way to water it while I’m on vacation. The reservoir is so small and there’s no option to water like with AeroGarden’s aerovoir.

[@almlpb]

I refilled my gardyn 2.0 before going on a trip for 2.5 weeks and set it to vacation mode and everything was fine when I returned. I don't know how long you plan on being gone for, but hopefully this helped.

[@plant4table]

Unless you grow a lot of cucumbers, which is a water guzzling, you will be fine for 2 weeks being away.

[@MrBodacias402]

I know of something that has the nutritions in the soil already just water

[@plant4table]

Not all soil has enough nutrients to grow vegetables. You have to add compost/fertilizer, battle with the pests, battle with the wild lives... When the soil is bad, you have to build raise beds, and again, add new soil and compost. When the winter comes, you have to put up a tunnel/green house. Not everyone is living in Florida and not everyone has land to grow their vegetables.

[@eprohoda]

Good night,enjoyed! total isnane sharing~ catch you later,Plant4Table, 💪
