I’ve had the Lettuce Grow Nook since last December when I received it as a Christmas gift and I LOVE it! It looks lovely, works pretty simply, and has definitely upped the veggie intake of my family. The whole family snacks on lettuce in passing and it grows so fast we still have enough for a big salad fairly often. The most successful things have been the lettuces and herbs. The cauliflower and cabbage never fruited but they do point out that some plants are better grown outside and I’ve been more mindful of those suggestions since. In the 9 months we’ve had it operating , I’ve done a full clean twice - that’s pretty tedious work but luckily only necessary about quarterly. The weekly work of topping off water and adding nutrients is super easy. Really one of my only gripes is that the dolly (an additional accessory that I think is super helpful) does not wheel with any ease. My other criticism is that I think the app could be better. I don’t feel like it’s all that helpful in maintaining the garden. The community forum with tips from users seems mostly to be on facebook which I don’t use-wish that were in the app too. For example, just finding how much nutrient to add was cumbersome. Overall though, I’m very happy and recommend it to all. I just popped in some strawberries so I’m excited to see how that goes and ordered the Counterstand so will follow up with a review of that.
