Funny story - I recently bought a Gardyn[1] but they didn’t have an open API, so while reversing it discovered that under the hood it’s just… a raspberry pi haha It’s a fantastic device tbh, but I LOL’d [1] https://mygardyn.com

Fancy trying out one of the experiments we have listed? Like the data logger or live preview?

Meta: I think the title would work better if it said "your own food ".

It's a very common phrase in the UK: "Grow your own" means food. But I can get that updated for our international speakers.

Thanks for commenting.

Actually, it would be fun to try and pull data off the device. I’ll play with it tomorrow!

For context: GYO & GIY (Grow Your Own / Grow It Yourself) are common acronyms in permaculture/biodiversity/grower circles.

But yeah, probably not widely recognised. Worth clarifying.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

As a non-native english speaker, I first confused the title with the expression "grow a pair". I wondered how a Pi would help in that case.

As a native english speaker, I assumed it was about weed, so it's confusing to all.

I did as well, for what it's worth.
