I trust your channel. One of the best videos out there, comparing realistic costs. Great job!

Had my first MyGardyn salad, it was delicious. Now I have a hard time going to the store to buy any type of green leaf vegetable for my salads. Thanks for the recommendation! Definitely worth investing in.

[@Ash.Crow.Goddess]

I can't wait for my first salad!

[@brendacaley9333]

Thank you! This is exactly the information I was wondering about/looking for! I so appreciate you breaking down the math for us. I pay about $6+ per butter lettuce or 2 for $10. So my return would be quite good with this system. Subbed. Thanks again!

[@Goggans]

Lol you’ve been warned 😂 facts. I started growing in a small 12 pod hydroponic garden and loved it. Because of your other videos I’m now going to get an I harvest next month. Thank you for showing ppl the math bc it’s soooo worth it🫶🏾

[@Kn-zj5yd]

Great video! I can't wait for your cleaning video for the new unit. I was interested since your comparison video! Maybe I'll decide after that video

[@denisesspapetite9507]

I should have gotten n iharvest. I have two Gardyn and nothing but serious problems. Cracked tubing that ruined my floor, faulty towers that they have sent me parts to add to the original unit to make it work, pump broke and the second unit pump is about to break. I also can’t access the second Gardyn on the app. I am very unhappy. My aero Garden has a great app and you can access from the unit as well but you can’t grow as much.

[@plant4table]

Oh no, sorry to hear your experience 😢

OK... We've had our 1st Gardyn for a week and we like it so much we are going to buy a second one. QUESTION : what after market plant food are you using in the Gardyn to save money. I thought u said in some video, but I can't find it.

[@plant4table]

I use MaxiGro. I linked it in the description. Happy planting!

[@OffGridandOutdoors]

What ratio of Maxigro are you using? That is, how many teaspoons per gallon?

[@plant4table]

@@OffGridandOutdoors 1 tea spoon per gallon to start off (lettuces and greens should be fine with this dosage), then use TDS meter to add more if needed for the plants you are growing.

[@laurenbeck6582]

Hello! I found your review for the Gardyn and the iHarvest a while back and you convinced me to invest. I ended up getting the Gardyn 1.0 when they were on super sale. I love to watch my gardyn grow and I am finally able to start harvesting for salads. I was wondering you have a link to Maxigro, is this what you use for all of your gardyn nutrients? I read people's comments back and forth that it should only be used for sprouts then to move on to maxi bloom. I am confused. I did purchase a bag of maxigro but have up until now only used the Gardyn nutrients (I just did my first refresh last weekend). thanks for any answers!

[@plant4table]

Hi there, I have the link to MaxiGro I use in the description box of this video (green bag). I use Gardyn nutrients until it runs out, then switch over to MaxiGro. In fact, I use MaxiGro for all my hydroponic systems from iHarvest, Gardyn to the Aerogarden. It works just as well. I only mix in half of the Maxibloom when I was growing a full tower of flowers. Only use it when the plants are about to produce flowers. Good luck!

[@laurenbeck6582]

@@plant4table Thanks so much for your quick response. I love your videos, your advice and your enthusiasm. Thanks again!

[@OO-fm3sw]

How much was your Gardyn in super sale? So that I know what to look out for aprox

[@abbeydove123]

Hi there! I have a question. I'm in a smaller apartment. My hesitation is about the lights. They look SO bright. This would be right in my living room/dining room area (they're combined). Does the bright light ever bother you or your family, or has it been ok for you?

[@plant4table]

I have 2 in my living room/formal dining room and we are not bothered by it. We don't even need to turn the light in the living room on most of the time and I like the ambience giving off from the Gardyn's light. Unless you put the Gardyn on the same wall of your tv, I don't think it is an issue. The light beams at the plants, not toward you. Hope this helps.

[@KitchenGardenTours]

Thank you for all your videos on your hydroponic systems. I have watched many of them. I have since purchased my own Gardyn and can't wait to see how it works for us.

[@plant4table]

I hope you are enjoying your Gardyn!

[@colettefaron5403]

Thank you!! What a great informative overall review!! And you made it entertaining as well! Can you share the places you purchase the different seeds and fertilizer? Also, any other info on the 2.0 version? Thank you SO MUCH for posting your experience! So helpful!!😊

[@plant4table]

I like to get seeds from Johnny, quality seeds but that can get expensive, unless they carry some unique varieties that other suppliers don't sell. I also shop from Harris Seeds and Eden Brothers. For nutrient, I use MaxiGro and add in MaxiBloom if I'm trying to get them to flower. I had the 2.0 for less than 6 months before I moved. Therefore I didn't have a chance to update. Working on my new grow room, will post a video soon on that.

[@lunallena5594]

[@laticecarpenter5887]

Is the coupon for the Iharvest still good?

[@plant4table]

Yes, it should still work.

[@meredithtaylormitchell]

Love your videos thank you for sharing your experience with hydroponics. Have you ever considered the Lettuce Grow Farm stand? I just got the Gardyn and am enjoying it but I have my eyes on Lettuce Grow too.

[@plant4table]

I did considered Lettuce Grow, but I don't like the curvy bottom design. Also, I prefer a system that I can put against the wall. With Lettuce Grow, I can't see all my plants because of the 360 degree design. Another factor is that the distance between the bottom of the plants and the ring light seems to be short, I might be wrong though.

[@jonartjon]

Is the Harvest the same amount of profit as gardyn?

[@plant4table]

The production is the same because they both have the same capacity of 30 slots. It comes down to the price of the unit. Gardyn and iHarvest are about $50- $75 difference, but again, during Christmas sale,Gardyn has better sale.

[@delawarelocalhomeswithclau4243]

I only have the iHarvest but check out Lan’s cleaning videos…so glad I got the iHarvest just due to that alone

[@TheNightWitch]

I am looking at getting this and so intrigued and your videos have been so helpful! Even showing this makes it worth it in the long run! Do you feel like your unit will last a long time ? (Ie. At least 5 years, for you to feel like you got your investment return)

[@plant4table]

I have mine for 2 years, and they still work fine. I can't answer whether it will last for 5 years or not. If certain part stops working, you can contact Gardyn and buy replacement parts from them. I have not done that but I know others have.

[@wei944]

🌱🌺🌻Hello! Thank you for your very informative and helpful videos. As a beginner user of the Gardyn 2.0 system, I have watched your videos, and rewatched a few more. Which type of plant food do you recommend for the Gardyn 2.0 system other than using Gardyn's proprietary plant food? Do you also use the Gardyn's nursery tray or did you devise your own? If you devised your own, I would be interested in learning from you as the tray is $69.99.

[@plant4table]

Hi, thanks for watching. I recommend just put some water into plastic take out box and use it as your nursery. Or even a bowl, a plate, anything. No need to pay for a fancy tray. I use MaxiGro for all of my hydroponic system. It is the same performance as the one from Gardyn. Even Gardyn said in one of their post that MaxiGro is similar to theirs.

[@wei944]

@@plant4table Thank you for sharing your amazing videos and analytical skills on the mathmatic break down of the cost of owning one of these too! ☺

I am so sad I would love to purchase a Gardyn :(... they don't ship to Canada. Obviously 1st world problems. Nevertheless if anyone can help a mere Canadian out... ;)...

[@plant4table]

:( Oh that sucks

[@HH-wr2ju]

I know I'm so sad that they don't ship to Canada. As a result I went with iharvest since it ships to Canada.

[@OffGridandOutdoors]

Love your number "9's" on the chart. We are about to buy some system. Kinda narrowed down to Rise Garden Triple Family ~ or ~ Gardyn 2.0 ~ or ~ Click and Grow Smart Garden 27. Saw the how much you disliked cleaning Gardyn 1.0, waiting on your video about cleaning 2.0. I like the Click and Grow because it seems very easy to clean and can be cleaned up in the dishwasher.

[@OffGridandOutdoors]

OK ... Well after a few days of videos and deliberation we decided on the Gardyn 2.0 and just tonight purchased it with the PLANT4TABLE code.

[@plant4table]

I have found a better way to clean the Gardyn cups and columns. It is not as bad as my last video about cleaning. Will post another cleaning video in the near future.

[@OffGridandOutdoors]

@@plant4table Thanks, looking forward too it and have subscribed and notifications. We will not have our Gardyn for probably a week or more, so we are a long time away from having to clean it. I will be watching for your cleaning video.

[@OffGridandOutdoors]

Oops... Well We liked it so well were bought a second Gardyn 2.0. Plan is to grow bare root strawberries. Looking forward to the cleaning video.

[@craftyliu]

Thank you for your great videos! I am deciding on gardyn or iHarvest as well - leaning towards gardyn 2.0 but your eggplant, cucumber and beans videos got me thinking iharvest… have you grown or is it possible to grow the same beans, eggplants and cucumbers in the gardyn???

[@plant4table]

I prefer iHarvest to grow cucumbers because they have huge roots. Other than that, Gardyn grows eggplants and bush beans just as well. Note: other people grow cucumbers in Gardyn and they seem to do fine. You just need to trim the roots often.

[@craftyliu]

@@plant4table Thank you for replying! That is great info to know. I am leaning towards Gardyn bc of the small footprint and don’t have to secure to the wall.

[@paulmaxwell4852]

Thanks for doing such a good job in your videos. I learn something every time I watch one. I am looking to expand my farm and would like some help. I currently have a 9-pod and 2 6-pod aerogardens. I have noticed that oftentimes I can't utilize all the ports for the pods. With tomatoes, peppers, and lettuce I am currently utilizing 9 pods and am experiencing some overcrowding with peppers and tomatoes. I am considering purchasing a gardyn system, but I am concerned that 30 plants might be overwhelming. I have limited space and lots of desire. Do I need to plan better to utilize my space, or should I expand? Thanks for any advice you can give me.

[@plant4table]

I prefer Gardyn's vertical design over AG for that reason. I can't utilize all of the slots in AG even when growing lettuces. I like the fact that each of the spot in Gardyn tilt in a slight angle so that all space can be filled without compromising the light exposure. For the peppers and tomatoes, I plant them at the top of the Gardyn so they have space to grow vertically. I have all 30 spots mixed among herbs, lettuces, tomatoes and peppers, no issue.

[@paulmaxwell4852]

@@plant4table Thanks for the reply. I've been leaning toward the Gardyn. Now I'm leaning a little more to the Gardyn. Thanks for the good work. It is appreciated!

[@plant4table]

@@paulmaxwell4852 you are more than welcome. I will be making another video showing the system in full grown and explain a bit more about plant placement. I think you will like the Gardyn.

[@vavjak]

I have been going back and forth trying to decide on iharvest verses garden. Which is your favorite ?

[@plant4table]

Personally I like the Gardyn a little more because I like the look, and Gardyn water runs quieter. But iHarvest is much easier to clean. Please check out my comparison videos. What works for me does not necessarily work for you.

[@OffGridandOutdoors]

@@plant4table is your comments for cleaning on the 2.0 or just the 1.0? Wondering how they compare. Would be nice to see you do a comparison video of your thoughts between 1.0 and 2.0

[@alanahopetv]

Love your videos! Which of these is the easiest to clean? My biggest barrier is the daunting task of taking it all apart and the awkwardness of cleaning. Have you also tried the Farmstand?

[@plant4table]

iHavest is easier to clean

[@wei944]

🫒🥬🍈 Also, do you know why some of the lettuces/greens are bitter tasting when the room temperature has been 70 degrees or less and has not bolted?

[@plant4table]

Some of the lettuce might have bitter taste due to how the variety tastes. For example, endive is bitter itself. However, if your butter lettuce is bitter before it bolt, my guess is due to the temperature or the water that you use. Im just guessing.

[@iambabygirlslaughter]

Thank you so very much! I love your personality! I purchased the Gardyn after seeing your videos! I'm going to buy a second system not sure if it's the second Gardyn or Aerogardyn! Love your personality!
