This Indoor Smart Garden Lets Me Grow My Own Produce in My Small NYC Apartment, and It's $100 Off for Prime Day
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. Want more ways to upgrade your wellness setup during Prime Day? Don't miss our full roundup of CNET's best fitness Prime Day Deals. Hey, did you know? CNET Deals texts are free, easy and save you money. 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. Best Prime Day Kitchen Appliance Deals Score some of the best discounts of the year on top kitchen tech during Prime Day, and our shopping experts have rounded up the only deals worth taking seriously this year. See Now 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.

Lettuce from thin air: Chile's fog catchers grow crops in the world's driest desert where rain never falls
CHANARAL (Chile), July 1 — In Chile's arid Atacama, the driest desert in the world, growers and researchers are looking to harness water from the very air itself to grow lettuces and lemons, using a net to catch drops of moisture from fog. 'We are growing hydroponic lettuce entirely with fog water in the driest desert on the planet,' Orlando Rojas, president of the Atacama Fog Catchers Association, told Reuters near Chanaral in the Atacama, where some areas do not see rainfall for years. 'We have had other crops that have not yielded results, which is why we have tended towards doing lettuce.' A drone view shows fog catchers, meshes suspended between two poles that intercept small bits of moisture to collect water from the air in the Atacama Desert, in Paposo, Chile June 13, 2025. — Reuters pic Researchers at the UC Atacama Desert Centre are launching an open-access web mapping platform to show the location of the areas with potential for fog-water harvesting in the country, trying to open up these arid areas for cultivation. 'We know its potential and we know it can be an option and a solution for different scales of water needs in different territories where there is significant water scarcity,' said Camilo Del Rio, director of the UC Atacama Desert Centre. A set of fog catchers, meshes suspended between two poles that intercept small bits of moisture to collect water from the air in the Atacama Desert, stand in Paposo, Chile June 13, 2025. — Reuters pic Amid barren rocky hills and dry, white sand, the system works by using a mesh suspended between two poles that intercepts the small amount of moisture in the air, turning it into droplets that are collected and stored in water tanks. 'We are able to collect 1,000 to 1,400 litres of water in these inhospitable places, where we are clearly not favoured by nature in other ways,' said Rojas in a region where lemon trees were also growing from the collected water. Orlando Rojas, president of the Atacama fog catcher group, removes a net from a greenhouse to uncover a lemon tree grown with water captured by fog catchers, meshes suspended between two poles that intercept tiny bits of moisture, to collect water from the air in the Atacama Desert, in Chanaral, Chile June 10, 2025. — Reuters pic 'We have the potential for life, which is this water resource. Once we learned about this project, we haven't stopped because it is vital for human subsistence.' Mario Segovia, also from the fog-catching group, said that the water collected from moisture in the air was pure. 'The harvest doesn't look bad, it's a super healthy food, pure nutrients that are organic,' he said. 'They're in a state of water with nutrients, because this fog-catcher water is completely neutral, it has no minerals, no chlorine, nothing.' — Reuters
