Finally doing my full Gardyn review!
Here she is in her full glory:
Tumblr media
So, at this point we had multiple types of lettuce, Swiss Chard, Tatsoi, Tomatoes, Thyme, Basil, Cilantro, Arugula and Mustard. It provided enough greens to have salad as a main course for dinner for three nights a week! Being indoors and soilless there were no pesticides used at any point. I would cut the leaves off as I made dinner, doesn’t get any fresher!
What is a Gardyn?
Gardyn is a fully automated, all in one, hydroponic gardening unit.
It starts with the base. The bottom of the unit is a tank which holds up to 6 gallons of water.
Tumblr media
This does mean the unit is pretty heavy when it’s full, but if you’re strong or have two people it’s not too bad to move. When you receive it it is empty, so the initial set up is not too bad. Some people online do make rolling carts for them that are very nice if you struggle to move that much weight! It is a neutral color so it goes pretty nicely anywhere. I actually think it makes a nice decorative piece, especially when it is full! It also has enough space on top, maybe not if your unit is totally full, for your other seedlings/propagations!
After the base we have the lid. This is made of wood, so it looks pretty nice.
Tumblr media
Underneath is where the pump and the drains for each tower is located. It has a small opening for refills, which I do about once or twice a week depending on how hot it is.
The columns screw into the lids. These were one of the worst parts of set up honestly. They have a rubber tube holding them together so I do recommend grabbing someone to help, maybe it was just me! Each section unscrews individually for cleaning and it holds and total of 32 plants if you use each space!
Tumblr media
There is a bar across the back to provide support, which does have a wall mount. If you have kids or curious pets I would recommend mounting it to the wall.
Tumblr media
In front of the columns are the lights. There are one on each side and they are labeled which side is which. This is one of the tougher things to set up with this unit.
Tumblr media
It is incredibly bright. It does not bother me at all, I have grow lights everywhere, but it might be an issue if it’s near a place you relax.
The lights do have camera built into them. These sync with the app, where the AI can help diagnose issues and provide a time lapse of growth. This made me a bit nervous at first but the are stationary and if up against the wall that is all it will see. More on all of that below!
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Here is what she looks like know. As someone with heavy depression it is nice how automatic she is. Lot of the greens survived until they bolted and we let them die naturally. If you have compost it would make a great addition. Even with little to no maintenance for a few weeks she is still blooming!
Tumblr media
Pros
Fresh, organic produce ready at a moments notice
The ability to grow flowers as well/instead of you prefer
Soilless, which helps prevent a lot of pests
Helps freshen air indoors
Built in lights means it can go anywhere
Cons
Deep cleans recommended every six months can be intense
Plants are still susceptible to a few pests, specifically spider mites
The light is very bright
Sometimes the App just does not do what you want it to
The initial price is pretty high
Accessories from Gardyn can be expensive and come with so few
Now, the most controversial thing about this unit is the App/membership. I will start by saying, you can 100% not use the membership at all. You can purchase any accessories outside of it and find pretty much anything outside of their store that you would need if you can get creative.
The app and and internet connection however is required. This is how the unit syncs to the time and you set the light/watering schedule. So without both an internet connection and working smart phone this isn’t really a good option
Despite the fact you do not need a membership, I do love and recommend it. Currently the membership is $40 pre month. This gives you a lot more options in the app, but you also get credits which allow for up to 10 seed cubes with free shipping every month. That basically pays for it alone!
All in all, if you can afford it and are looking for something like this, I can recommend this enough. This post is not sponsored, but as a member I do have a discount code which will get you $125 off the unit if you’re buying anyway!

A list of (realistic) things you can do to be more environmentally friendly
(from an earth-loving horticulture student.)
— COSMETICS
Use bar soap instead of soap bottles
Use old toothbrushes for cleaning surfaces
Try exploring and researching some homemade face/body/lip products
Use ice sleeves, sunglasses, and caps instead of sunscreen (Edit: I’ve seen people say that it is safer and even necessary to wear sunscreen at all times so try to use eco friendly sunscreen instead! In my country it’s pretty uncommon to wear sunscreen often as we usually wear ice sleeves which is why I did not know this oof)
Use coffee grinds or homemade tumeric masks instead of cosmetic products with exfoliator beads
Invest in a metal ear cleanser instead of cotton buds
Try placing more importance on skincare instead of contributing to exploitative beauty companies by buying makeup
Use cosmetic products that do not contain palm oil
— CLOTHING
Try as much as possible to rewear your outfits at least twice before washing them
Actually WEAR your clothes! I know some of y’all just wear them once for your Instagram post and let it rot in your closet forever. Stop doing that!
Thrift, stitch up holes in your clothes, and use second hand clothing instead of supporting fast fashion companies like SHEIN, H&M, Zara, etc.
Cut up your old clothing into yarn and do macramè with it
Cut patches of old clothing to turn into reusable cotton pads
Learn how to knit, crochet or stitch your clothes!
If you use tampons, try menstrual cups or discs instead. If you use pads, try reusable pads or period underwear. (Trust me, it works). Also, use reusable panty liners instead of disposable ones. They may seem expensive but you will end up saving a lot more in the long run
— GARDENING
Plant seeds/cuttings in your old bottles, jars, and containers
Propagate your plants and exchange cuttings with your friends instead of buying new plants
Make your own soil mixes instead of buying soil mixes
Better yet, don’t use soil for your indoor plants and try getting into hydroponics or semihydroponics instead. This saves so much water and doesn’t contribute to mining of soil
Fertilise plants with fruit peels, coffee grinds, and tea leaves. (DO NOT use chemical fertiliser on soil)
Plant more legume plants in your garden instead of using nitrogen fertilisers. (Look up the nitrogen cycle if you need an explanation on this)
Avoid pesticides unless really needed. Try sprinkling cinnamon powder on soil or spraying neem oil on plants and soil to keep away pests.
If you have a lawn, try looking into rain gardens and consider making one
Let the (non invasive) weeds in your lawn/garden grow! They are there for a reason!
Stop killing earthworms and millipedes in your garden. This also applies to snails native to your region. They are there for a reason.
Water used to wash fruits and rice can be used to water plants
— REDUCE, REUSE
Use the caps of jars as soap holders
Use recycled paper/notebooks
Wash and dry your glass/plastic items before throwing them in the recycling bin
Keep any plastic bags for future use
Use eco friendly or reusable dish sponges
Use reusable straws and cups
Invest in a fabric cup holder
Bring a water bottle with you wherever you go
Drink more water and less sugary drinks
Bring reusable bags for buying groceries instead of using plastic ones
Always keep a folded up tote/shopping bag with you in case you spontaneously decide to buy something
— ELECTRICITY
Set a timer on your air conditioning instead of letting it run throughout the night
Better yet, use a fan instead of an air conditioner
Open your windows! Aerate your home!
Allow natural light to enter your home during the daytime, so as to avoid turning on your lights
Switch to LED lightbulbs instead of regular lightbulbs
Turn off any switches in your house when they are not in use
Collect the water from your air conditioner/dehumidifier condenser and use that to water plants, clean surfaces, steam ironing, and flushing toilets. Do not drink it though!
— INTERNET
Delete your all of your unwanted emails
Delete your inactive social media accounts
Try not to post excessively on social media and stop scrolling excessively too. This not only reduces energy usage but also improves your mental health and productivity
Try to keep to one social media app instead of having so many
Reduce your internet usage
Save your eBooks on a thumbdrive instead of on cloud
Use Ecosia instead of Google
Stop being influenced by social media trends that only just contribute to consumerism
Download music instead of streaming
Reduce online shopping
— FOOD
Reduce intake of processed foods
Reduce intake of fish, beef, and dairy
Try eating vegan or vegetarian foods at least once or twice a week
Cook your own meals instead of eating out
Bring your own food containers when taking away food from stores
Beeswax wrap instead of cling wrap!
Buy loose-leaf tea or plastic free tea bags instead of regular tea bags
Eat more mushrooms, vegetables, and fruits and drink more water
Support local farmers
And finally, educate yourself more about ecology and the environment!

A basic starter project if you want to start growing your own food but have no money & no experience, assuming you like green onions.
Supplies needed: Dead potted plant from free pile/dumpster/friend or family member, used food container, green onion ends.
Tumblr media
Steps:
1. Remove lid from container, it's now your plant pot's saucer
Tumblr media
2. Either poke holes very carefully and slowly (not ideal) or slice the corners off with scissors (better)
Tumblr media Tumblr media
3. Remove soil from the dead plant's pot, put in container. This one was super heavy in perlite (the white stuff, helps with drainage), so I mixed in another pot that had more organic matter (brown stuff, mostly helps retain moisture, sometimes provides nutrients). Water until water comes out the bottom, then let drain in sink until until it's done. Put pot on lid:
Tumblr media
4. Stick the green onions in, deep enough that they can stand up on their own, or until the white part is covered:
Tumblr media
5. Stick in window, water when dry, and wait:
Tumblr media
Why not just stick them in water?
Because they make the water really smelly.
Just change the water often, then it won't stink.
I will forget, and then it will stink. Plus, I prefer growing in soil.
Why do you prefer soil?
Thanks for asking! I started because growing them in water didn't work well for me. But on top of that, if you regrow in water, eventually their growth will peter out. This is because in addition to water and carbon dioxide, plants need other nutrients. These are stored in the bulbs of green onions, but they will be depleted by growth if the plant can't replace them. Potting soil often has leftover nutrients, and if you've got compost you can also mix that in.
Why not just put fertilizer in the water?
Two reasons. First off, that's a great way to grow algea, unless you make sure the water isn't getting light. Secondly, most cheap, widely available fertilizers are meant to be used for plants that are in soil, so they're not complete (they're missing iron and maybe some other things? It's been a while since i looked it up). So eventually, if you use water and normal ferts, the plant will stop growing. If you have access to hydroponic ferts, those would work, but you also have enough money that you're not the target audience for this post.
I don't trust the potting soil from random plants.
Completely understandable, and probably smart too. In that case, you have a couple other options if you want soil for free. First off, you could look for dead vegetable or other edible plants in pots, and know that those will not have been treated with something that makes them inedible to humans. You can also look for free bags of partially used potting soil in your local buy-nothing/free stuff groups/craigslist/nextdoor/mutual aid groups.
What if I have some money for soil?
Then you can look for potting soil, or make your own (plenty of recipes online for this)
Help! There are tiny flies that look like fruit flies!
Those are probably fungus gnats, and there's plenty of ways to get rid of them. My two favorites are watering a bit less and adding half an inch of sand to the top, making your plants an unsuitable habitat, or getting a mosquito dunk and keeping it in your watering can. Mosquito dunks have Bt, a type of bacteria that kills mosquitos, fungus gnats, and other related insects. There are other types of Bt that go after other types of insect, such as cabbage moths. It's considered an organic treatment.
What about other pests?
I've literally never seen them get other pests indoors.
How much light do they need?
As much as you can give them, probably. If you have a window that gets midday sun, use that. Or a grow light. If they don't get enough light, they'll be floppy and pale, still edible, but not as flavorful.
When can I harvest?
When it wouldn't look silly to harvest them. I generally wait until they're at least a foot tall (30cm). I'll post an update when I do.
Why didn't you just use the dead plant's pot, dumbass?
A) it didn't have a saucer to protect the surface underneath, B) this is a concept post, and often plant pots are too wide to fit in window sills, and C) I didn't like the pot.
Won't it just grow into a bulb?
Nope, green onions are actually usually a different type than bulbing onions. Usually. And they're perennial! I've never had one try forming a bulb, but you can just eat them if yours do.
Can I ask you another question?
Yep! I'll add it to the update.

We're makin leaps and bounds with this whole sustainability thing since we moved from our apartment a few years ago. Whenever i feel like im not doin enough I lay out all the tiny swaps we've done on the table
we no longer by styrofoam cups and reuse the ones we have
We no longer use plastic plates, we either use glass or compostable ones (and throw the compostable ones in the compost)
Our building has solar panels for electricity
Our soaps are zero/low waste
My mother and I started our loc journey so its much easier to find all-natural, plastic free hair care
I use reusable pads
I don't buy new clothes often if at all, 4 shirts in the last 7 years
3/5 of us eat strictly plant-based bc we're vegan,
We have an indoor hydroponic system growing leafy greens, tomatoes, peppers and fruits, and we bought seeds in bulk. We're planning on swapping rockwool cubes with reusable and compostable hemp fiber cubes
Since the hydroponic system is so bright, and the led lights last for 5 years at a time, we use the living area lights much less, opting for natural sunlight if the hydroponic system is not enough or is off.
We have a bokashi indoor compost bin for food scraps, and an outdoor cold compost bin for the scraps that cant go in the bokashi bin to make our own soil
We started a kitchen garden, and a pollinator/tea garden, and as of 2023 we now have a plum tree, a grapevine, two blackberry bushes, 5 reusable grow bags, 4 big planters and 2 big raised garden beds, lookin forward to fruits and vegetables in the spring, summer, fall and winter. We're planning to buy one more steel raised bed to ensure that we are cycling through what we're growing each year to limit pest-control methods, even neem oil, and planning on purchasing a lot more perennials and native perennials/annuals.
This fall Im gonna purchase a mushroom growing chamber kit for more low waste vegan meat alternatives and to add some healthy mushroom soil to the compost cycle
Our laundry detergent is environmentally safe
Our washing machine is water-efficient
We have a fridge with a water filter for cooking and drinking water
We have reusable grocery store bags
Im gonna try to grow lufas next year to replace our kitchen sponges and steel wool scrubbing pads,
Our property is small, and our neighbors are not as social/gungho about bartering or Co-Op food gardening,
but I'm proud of wat we've done so far, and I can do a lot more, and I plan to do so, so any advice would be welcome

From Japan to Iceland, futuristic vertical farms are starting to bloom
Tumblr media
Indoor farming is a new and rapidly growing trend that has significant benefits over traditional agriculture methods, including increased efficiency and sustainability. Indoor farming can also help to combat climate change by reducing the amount of greenhouse gas (carbon dioxide, methane) released into the atmosphere and reducing the need for pesticides.
There are several different ways to do indoor farming, but the most common approach is to use hydroponic systems. These systems rely on water systems rather than soil to support plant growth, creating a controlled environment for the plants to grow in efficiently. An array of sensors designed specifically for this ensure that waste is minimized and resources are recycled whenever possible. Hydroponics also allows farmers to grow crops without dealing with pests or disease outbreaks, and it requires minimal land area compared to traditional agriculture methods. Because you essentially build the farm vertically, you can use places like former factories or warehouses.
Tumblr media
In the Shizuoka Prefecture, a facility that’s around 20,000 square feet (0.2 hectares) grows a whopping 12,000 lettuces a day (lettuce is excellently suited for this type of farm). Farmers set up the light regime for the plants (using LEDs), as well as the temperature and humidity level, and enjoy round the year crops. Not only is the area required for the yield much lower than with conventional methods, but the water usage is also lower (10-20 times lower).
More recently, a farm in Kyoto developed by a company called Spread became a record-breaking facility that also introduced bees to pollinate its strawberries, achieving stable pollination under LED conditions and showing that there’s plenty of unexplored opportunity within vertical farms.Image credits: Spread.
Singapore is also betting on vertical farms with one farm established in 2022 producing 500 tonnes of greens each year, in addition to its previous projects. Being able to grow food directly in urban areas means you can bring it to consumers quickly and inexpensively.
Meanwhile, Iceland is taking advantage of its ability to produce cheap, sustainable energy using geothermal sources to fuel a large vertical farm. Iceland has constantly had a problem of having to import food, and Iceland has one of the most expensive food markets in the world due to this. But Andri Bjorn Gunnarsson, founder and CEO of VAXA, the company behind the vertical farm, says Iceland also has some advantages that make it suitable for vertical farming.

Urban gardening techniques
Tumblr media
There are many different urban gardening techniques that can be used to grow food in small spaces. Some of the most popular methods include:
Container gardening: This is a great way to grow plants if you don't have a lot of space. You can use any type of container, such as pots, buckets, or even old tires. Just make sure the container has drainage holes to prevent the roots from rotting.
Raised beds: Raised beds are a good option if you have poor soil or limited sunlight. They are also easier to weed and maintain than traditional gardens.
Vertical gardening: This method uses vertical space to grow plants. You can use trellises, hanging baskets, or even walls to create a vertical garden.
Indoor gardening: If you don't have any outdoor space, you can still grow plants indoors. There are many different ways to do this, including using grow lights, windowsill gardens, and hydroponics.
Rooftop gardening: This is a growing trend in urban areas. Rooftop gardens can provide food, beauty, and insulation for buildings.
Community gardens: Community gardens are a great way to get involved in urban gardening. They provide a space for people to come together and grow food.
The best urban gardening technique for you will depend on your individual circumstances. Consider the amount of space you have, the amount of sunlight you get, and your budget when choosing a method.
No matter which method you choose, there are a few things to keep in mind when urban gardening:
Choose plants that are suited to your climate and growing conditions.
Prepare the soil well before planting.
Water your plants regularly, especially during hot weather.
Fertilize your plants as needed.
Protect your plants from pests and diseases.
With a little planning and effort, you can enjoy the benefits of urban gardening, even if you don't have a lot of space.
Here are some additional tips for urban gardening:
Use compost or other organic matter to improve the quality of your soil.
Mulch around your plants to help retain moisture and suppress weeds.
Use companion planting to attract beneficial insects and repel pests.
Practice crop rotation to help prevent soil-borne diseases.
Harvest your crops regularly to encourage new growth.
Urban gardening can be a rewarding experience that can help you connect with nature, improve your health, and reduce your impact on the environment. So get started today and see how much fun you can have growing your own food in the city!

I just found your naga fic too lmao. 👀💜
I enjoyed it! I think it's a very interesting premise, and I love studying plants & medical science myself.
I think it's really neat so far. I don't typically read AUs like this - but, this one definitely caught my interest, and I find your naga Sun & Moon super endearing. 💜🌸
Maybe YN could bring Sun a gift of some potted plants sometime? 🤔 It's real easy to grow important medicinal plants indoors with a basic lil hydroponic system, and then transplant them into a pot. Then, as long as they get enough light, water, and warmth, they're good to go! Haha.
Anyways, thanks for creating this! I look forward to seeing more. Have a lovely day!
Thank you so much! It's so nice to hear that my little au drew you in!
For the moment, y/n is still learning about the boys. They don't even realize yet that Sun is as plant-crazy they are. XD But once they do know him better, they will make some plans to help him (and hopefully Moon) out. But first, they gotta recover. A broken leg is not something they can easily work around when trying to get gifts.

From Garden to Table: 10 Proven Methods to Grow Fresh Greens
Growing greens in your garden can provide a fresh and nutritious addition to your meals. Here are ten gardening methods to help you successfully grow greens: Traditional Garden Beds: Prepare well-draining, nutrient-rich soil. Sow seeds or transplant seedlings according to the recommended spacing. Ensure adequate sunlight, typically 4-6 hours of direct sunlight daily. Water consistently to keep the soil evenly moist. Container Gardening: Use containers with good drainage. Choose potting soil specifically designed for containers. Select compact varieties of greens suitable for containers. Place containers in a sunny location and water regularly. Raised Beds: Build raised beds filled with a mix of garden soil and compost. Create a well-defined growing area for greens. Raised beds offer better drainage and are easier to manage. Vertical Gardening: Utilize vertical space with wall-mounted planters or trellises. Grow vining greens like peas and beans vertically. Ensure adequate support for climbing varieties. Hydroponics: Grow greens without soil in nutrient-rich water. Invest in a hydroponic system designed for leafy greens. Monitor water quality and nutrient levels regularly. Aeroponics: Suspends plants in an air or mist environment. Use a nutrient-rich mist to nourish the roots. Requires precise control of the nutrient solution and misting frequency. Indoor Gardening: Grow greens indoors in containers or hydroponic systems. Provide adequate lighting using grow lights if natural sunlight is limited. Maintain consistent temperature and humidity levels. Companion Planting: Plant greens alongside companion plants like herbs or flowers. Companion plants can deter pests or attract beneficial insects. Succession Planting: Sow greens in stages to ensure a continuous harvest. Plant new seeds or seedlings every few weeks. Extend the growing season and avoid overwhelming harvests. Square Foot Gardening: Divide garden beds into square-foot sections. Plant a specific number of greens per square foot. This method maximizes space and simplifies planning. Remember to tailor your chosen method to your gardening space, climate, and the specific greens you want to grow. Regularly monitor your plants for signs of pests or nutrient deficiencies, and adjust your care routine accordingly. With the right approach, you can enjoy a consistent supply of fresh and delicious greens from your garden. Read the full article
