This Indoor Smart Garden Lets Me Grow My Own Produce in My Small NYC Apartment, and It's $100 Off for Prime Day

CNET09-07-2025
I used to romanticize the idea of keeping fresh herbs in a beautiful garden. My reality isn't quite there yet -- I have no outdoor space (I live in New York City), and all I have are limp stems and wilted leaves in my fridge, and a lot of wasted money. Even trying those countertop planters didn't work for me. Between forgetting to water them and poor lighting, my herbs always ended up in the compost.
Then I tried the Gardyn Studio, a hydroponic indoor garden that pretty much runs on its own. After only a few weeks, I felt like I had my very own farmer's market in my dining room. It didn't just look good in my home; it made a real impact on how I eat and cook.
Right now, the Gardyn Studio is 20% off for Prime Day, saving you $100. Whether you're a meal prepper or just want to cut down on the sad spinach bags, this deal is worth taking advantage of.

Why I love the Gardyn Studio
This hydroponic smart indoor garden takes the guesswork and guilt out of home gardening. I don't have to keep tabs on when I last watered, how much sun my plants need or whether I'm over-pruning. The Gardyn Studio uses AI-powered sensors to adjust lighting and water levels for up to 20 plants at a time. That means I can grow basil, lettuce and flowers right in my home, no green thumb required.
What I really love is how much I started using fresh produce while cooking. I started incorporating fresh kale in my smoothies, tossing edible flowers in my salad and even cutting herbs on the spot while I'm cooking. It feels like a wellness hack disguised as home decor.

Why this deal matters
The Gardyn Studio isn't a cheap purchase, which is why this $100 off is a big deal (pun intended). It's not just a plant stand; it's a self-sustaining system that can actually lower your grocery bill over time. When I did the math, I realized I was saving on lettuce, herbs and flowers every week. Not to mention that I have less waste because they don't go bad after just a few days.
If you've been eyeing this system, now is one of the best times of the year to get it. Just don't wait too long; this deal ends after July 11.

Gold succumbs to profit-taking after US jobs data-fuelled rally

By Anushree Mukherjee and Brijesh Patel (Reuters) -Gold prices slipped on Monday as investors booked profits after a sharp rise in the previous session following weaker-than-expected U.S. jobs data that boosted expectations for a Federal Reserve interest rate cut in September. Spot gold lost 0.3% to $3,354.17 per ounce as of 0229 GMT. Bullion had risen more than 2% on Friday. However, U.S. gold futures gained 0.2% to $3,407.10. "Gold has made a conservative start to the week following Friday's price jump. A combination of profit taking and dollar stabilisation has caused gold to ease marginally to kick-off the week," KCM Trade Chief Market Analyst Tim Waterer said. Asian markets tracked Wall Street lower as fears for the U.S. economy returned with a vengeance, prompting investors to price in an almost certain rate cut in September and undermining the dollar. [MKTS/GLOB] Last week, U.S. job growth slowed more than expected in July, with nonfarm payrolls increasing by 73,000 jobs last month, after rising by a downwardly revised 14,000 in June, the Labor Department's Bureau of Labor Statistics said. This revived hopes of a Fed rate cut in September, with markets now pricing in an 81% chance, per CME FedWatch tool. The tariffs U.S. President Donald Trump imposed last week on scores of countries are likely to stay in place rather than be cut as part of continuing negotiations, Trade Representative Jamieson Greer said in comments aired on Sunday. "But with Trump on the tariff warpath once again, and the soft U.S. jobs report increasing the odds that we could see a September FOMC rate cut, any pullbacks in the precious metal could be of a shallow nature," Waterer added. Gold, traditionally considered a safe-haven asset during political and economic uncertainties, tends to thrive in a low-interest-rate environment. Spot silver fell 0.6% to $36.80 per ounce, platinum slipped 0.6% to $1,307.02 and palladium eased 0.9% to $1,197.76.

White House defends firing of jobs official

White House economic advisers have on defended President Donald Trump's firing of the head of the Bureau of Labor Statistics, rejecting criticism it could undermine confidence in official US economic data. Trump had BLS Commissioner Erika McEntarfer sacked on Friday, despite no evidence of any wrongdoing, after a report showed hiring slowed in July and was much weaker in May and June than previously reported. Trump, in a post on his social media platform, alleged that the figures were "RIGGED in order to make the Republicans, and ME, look bad". Trump again criticised McEntarfer on Sunday, saying he would name a new commissioner in the next three or four days. US Trade Representative Jamieson Greer told CBS that Trump had "real concerns" about the BLS data, while Kevin Hassett, director of the National Economic Council, said the president "is right to call for new leadership". Hassett said on Fox News Sunday the main concern was Friday's BLS report of net downward revisions showing 258,000 fewer jobs had been created in May and June than previously reported. Trump accused McEntarfer of faking the jobs numbers, without providing any evidence of data manipulation. The BLS compiles the closely watched employment report as well as consumer and producer price data. The BLS gave no reason for the revised data but noted "monthly revisions result from additional reports received from businesses and government agencies since the last published estimates and from the recalculation of seasonal factors". McEntarfer's firing added to growing concerns about the quality of US economic data and came on the heels of a raft of new tariffs on dozens of trading partners, sending global stock markets tumbling as Trump presses ahead with plans to reorder the global economy. Critics, including former leaders of the BLS, slammed Trump's move and called on Congress to investigate McEntarfer's removal, saying it would shake trust in a respected agency. "It undermines credibility," said William Beach, a former BLS commissioner and co-chair of the group Friends of the BLS. "There is no way for a commissioner to rig the jobs numbers," he said on CNN's State of the Union. Former Treasury Secretary Larry Summers also criticised McEntarfer's firing. "This is a preposterous charge. These numbers are put together by teams of literally hundreds of people following detailed procedures that are in manuals," Summers said on ABC's This Week.
