If you dream of having an herb gardens but don’t have a backyard, patio, or access to a super sunny climate, meet ROOT, a countertop irrigation system that uses automated lighting and watering controlled through your smartphone.

ROOT is the brainchild of organic growers Ohneka Farms. Since it’s a hydroponic design (which means the plants grow directly in nutrient-rich water) you don’t need to worry about getting dirt all over your kitchen. A sensor tells you when water’s running low and an app lets you you know when to add nutrients (i.e. no green thumbs required). ROOT takes up only a square foot of countertop space and can accommodate up to 16 seedling pods.

ROOT surpassed its funding goal on Indiegogo in January, and it’s expected the system will be available for delivery by November 2015. Order yours now!
