#2This reflects my experience of growing 1-2 herbs at home. It requires little space and you usually only use a tiny amount. Most of all, it's tastier and cheaper over time than the dried stuff.
If there were a simple-to-maintain herb garden hydroponics set, I'd totally be interested!

I grow basil when the temp is right, and its remarkable just how good it is. I agree with your takeaway about a hydro set too.

Our basil always ends up wilting - I almost suspect that we're not eating it fast enough.

It does wilt in a hurry, and that's been sn issue for me too. If I'm making pesto though, it can go surprisingly quickly.

I have a 9 pod aerogarden, It's beautiful, have had it for 45 days. All 9 pods have plans coming out now and love growing basil at home - Doesn't take space, Auto controlled Minimal maintenance

Aerogarden makes a dead simple, self contained 3 herb hydroponics set complete with reservoir and light. You basically just plug it in and eat herbs in a couple weeks. I've been using one for a couple years to grow basil and some other stuff, and I really like it. Not sure if linking to products on HN is discouraged, but should be easy to find with a quick search.

#8As cool as the operations part of this is, I can't help wishing they were growing food that mattered on scale to make a difference. Lowering the carbon footprint of putting expensive garnishes on the plates of the 1% is a start, I guess.

#9Given that wood sorrel grows wild in every NYC park, I'm failing to see what exactly is rare about it.

Isn’t this the same ideology of Tesla? Innovate your product via the dollars of wealthy early adopters; as cost declines, widen your reach.
