In The Kit
Every kit contains all you need for your chosen herb. We use a recycled wine bottle to construct the body of the system; all edges are ground by hand, so there’s no need to worry about sharp corners left over from cutting the bottle. Watering the kits could not be simpler, just keep an eye on the water line (clearly visible) and top up when needed, every couple of weeks. Each kit contains enough organic hydroponic fluid for you to be able to grow your herbs for approximately two years. The kits also come with spare parts, so that if your horticultural skills require a little honing, there’s a second chance waiting.
About
Recognised as a great source of flavonoids and antioxidants, including amongst others folic acid and vitamins C and A, parsley is a biennial plant that can grow all year round indoors. It is a late germinator, taking up to 4 weeks in some cases, so don't be disheartened if it's running behind your other herb kits. Although flat parsley is favoured in the UK for outside growth (due to its hardy nature), the fact is that nothing garnishes as well as curly parsley, and as for taste concentration, well, they taste the same to us.
Growing hydroponically means there's no mess and as the growth fluid is clearly visible in the lower part of the bottle it's very hard to run out without you noticing. There is enough fluid in the pack for at least a years growth and you can always buy some more to keep your garden growing once you've got the hydro' bug.
