Aerogrow Indoor Kitchen Garden
Know any cooks who love to use fresh herbs, or love preparing fresh salads? Well, the Aerogrow Indoor Kitchen Garden is the perfect gift for them! The AeroGarden does all the work. No tools. No dirt. Just results: Delicious fresh salad greens, gourmet herbs, cherry tomatoes and even chili peppers, crisp and close-by as you cook. The computerized “Smart Garden” technology means that it doesn’t take any gardening skill to grow. A timer automatically turns the lights on and off so that the plants get enough light. A built-in reminder system tells you when to add more water or more nutrients. It’s so easy that it only takes 5 to 15 minutes a month to grow, depending on which plant you are growing. You need to occasionally add water, drop in two nutrient tablets and provide minimal tending. Most of your time will be spent harvesting! The Aerogrow has the footprint of a breadbox and is conveniently sized to fit under most kitchen cabinets. It measures 16 inches wide by 10 1/2 inches deep by 15 1/2 inches tall at the lowest setting, and 21 inches tall at the highest setting. The Aerogrow indoor kitchen garden. $139.99 at Clean Air Gardening.

Nasturtium Garden in a Pail
In any case should you have a green thumbed friend who is inclined to eat flowers you would probably make their day with this. They get a galvanized pail filled with everything they need to grow their own salad, stir fry veggies, or just something nice to look at. Just add water and give it some sunlight. The Garden in a Pail is available from Gardeners Supply Company for $37.95
Perhaps your better educated than I am (something I willing to concede as probable), but the very first thing I thought when I saw this product was: “What the heck is a Nasturtium”. If you knew already, don’t hold it against me. A quick trip to organicgardentips.com tells me that nasturtium is a flower, it’s a salad ingredient, and it’s used in stir fry. I was always taught as a child you don’t eat the flowers. Maybe that was just daisies.

Oxygenating Watering Can
The Oxygenating Watering Can holds a full gallon of water, uses very little electricity, and is available from Clean Air Gardening for $89.99The proof is in the results. University tests confirm that increasing the content of oxygen in the water you feed your plants results in larger flowers, more veggies, and overall healthier plants. When I first read about this thing I did a search on oxygenation of water and electrolysis and the science behind it and…Well, I’m going to leave that to the scientists. But the process to use this is simple enough. You fill it up with water, plug it in for about five minutes and water your plants with it. The design may be rocket science but using it surely is not.
