Hi all,

Im looking for a present. A while ago I bought a herb grower with automatic lighting and watering for in the kitchen from kickstarter. Something similar like aerogarden. Unfortunately it died twice and is hard to repair.

Itโ€™s a bit of a nice market I think, foremost could find Chinese crap. It should be friendly to the eye so iโ€™m not really aiming for PVC DiY solution. If possible no apps and no proprietary โ€œholdersโ€ required.

Any suggestions for the EU are more than welcome!

Not necessarily. If left to dry out too much soil can become hydrophobic, and won't absorb water immediately. If you top watered in that situation then the water would run out, not because you've over watered but because you've underwatered and the soil isn't absorbing anything.
