Ever gone out to buy basil and come home with a basil plant? Wooed by the romantic notion of growing your own fresh herbs on the windowsill, did you also bring home a rosemary plant and a mint plant into the bargain, convinced you’d never have to buy packet herbs again as your herb garden flourished?
How painful the disappointment when, several herb-doused meals later, the leaves grow back increasingly smaller, paler, and less tasty until they are indistinguishable from the grass outside.
No longer need we suffer this indignity! We can eat fresh herbs every day! And vegetables, even! Electrolux have designed this ‘hydroponic growing cupboard’ (AKA a clever fridge) that holds up to 40 plants of your choice. It gives them just the right amount of light and uses nutrient solutions to make them as perfect as possible. It's still a prototype, but when it's on the market, there'll be no excuse for going back to the dried stuff.
