Grow herbs in this ceramic, hydroponic self-watering planter and never worry about having to water plants again. After growing your own herbs for cooking, you'll never need to buy those expensive packs of herbs at the grocery store again.
This planter is beautifully designed and extremely easy to use. The 'Amphora' holds enough water for the lifetime of a plant. The roots will grow directly into the water and continue descending as the water level drops. By the time the water has almost run out, you'll have a full-grown plant. Just harvest and use your hyper-local, fresh herbs however you want. Right now, there are six different herb seed kits so you can grow your favorite.
