I am obsessed with growing food hydroponically indoors.

I’ve been doing this now for 3 years, and love that I can grow fresh, organic lettuce, cucumbers, tomatoes and herbs in my livingroom, when there is 2 feet of snow outside.

Here are my two favorite hydroponic products:

The Lettuce Grow is my OG ride or die. In my book, I call it my “Spaceship Smoothie Tower”.  Watch my review here!
