Can an Indoor Smart Garden Beat Outdoor Gardening? We Tested It | WSJ
Can smart gardens really grow delicious vegetables inside your apartment? WSJ asked Timothy Hammond, an urban gardener and educator in Houston, to test out Rise Gardens hydroponic smart garden to see how the vegetables compare with his own outdoor garden.

The price is insulting!
So why did wsj not share this brothers info for his social media? Trash
Always been skeptical about hydroponics, how do they make sure the water has all the nutrients. They could be missing some micro nutrients.
This is an horrible comparison
That reservoir isn’t big enough for big veggies roots
Not worth it, build your own and you can customize it to whatever you want to grow, herbs, cacti, flowers, etc.
🚧👁🚧🧠
$1000 to grow some vegetables lol
Didnt even do a test comparison.
Hello, did you know that we were created by God and one day we will present ourselves again before him? How have we treated our brothers? How have we honored God for the precious gift of life? Walking with Jesus, The Good Shepherd, Way, Truth and Life, He will help us to be children, image and likeness of the Father. We will also enjoy his unparalleled love and kindness. Pray. Read the Bible. Jesus will soon return to seek those who love Him into His kingdom of love. You are precious to God.🌹🌷🙋
How does the taste compete?
Is this an ad?
Is it worth it financially?
For over $700 I expect to not need to clean up after plants.
For that price, at least grow weed in it
Wow so smart. Is it fisher price?
Just grow it lol
i garden because i want to be outside and move a bit.
I’m looking into wall mounted hydroponics for my apartment.
There are good plans on YouTube to build one for yourself!
I had the Rise Garden for a little over a year. It’s nice until their water pump failed and there support team won’t admit to replacing it to the latest one, which they have been doing for other customers. Worst experience ever
that guy was honest. he wasnt just advertising the product that sponsored him
they could grow crops in space or mars or antarctica or the moon using this
No it can’t. I experimented with hydroponics. Costs too much to build. One led light alone costs $100-200. Sun light is free. Sprinkler system too expensive and maintain. Not worth it.
I can build something better with 100 bucks worth of home depot parts

Nice review! – LOVE that people seem to be getting more and more into growing their own food!
What’s dumb is those grow pods for the hydroponics will cost more than you going to the supermarket and buying it yourself. Wish it wasn’t that way.
ads are getting smarter
Teacher:I’ll give you some fun homework
Me: 3:37
Will the plants have same nutrients as the ones grown in the sun ?
No
lol. Rediculously expensive & over-engineered. Suggest using Kratky method, it’s simple, effect, cheap and virtually zero maintenance. Just a few plastic containers (from Whole Food market if you want to be a hipster) and a few cheap grow light led’s! Eg https://youtu.be/XDuqJUdjr14
Ask him how to defeat the Squash Vine Borer, I just got decimated
I have one. I love it
Rip off, but bring on the competition, all will be well.
What about the taste? Although they grew at different rates, and the varieties are probably different, does an indoor garden with artificial light affect the taste of the final product? Also for size, I’m imagining the smaller versions of the indoor unit aren’t going to provide much once you harvest; in order to always have fresh greens available you’d need the larger unit to sustain constant growth and harvesting. The pods remind me of Keurig — are they sustainable, or bad for the environment?
This is so stupid, you can easily make one yourself, and as for the grow lights it cost pennys to run, LED lights barely use any wattage and the water pump is nothing as well.
hate hidden ads… btw you can build that for 30% of the 700usd!
You didn’t talk about nutrition which has more minerals and vitamin?
What a useless contraption
a commercially-priced and readily available system that every household can use to grow products year round, all while using sustainable and recyclable materials sounds like one of the best investments you can make. Can gardening and agriculture have the next industrial revolution?
i love it
1 word: *IKEA*
Love this! Very insightful!
Ask any cannabis farmer, outdoor can’t even compete with indoor. There is no competition when your’e able to completely control the environment.
This is just an ad…
Com’on, WSJ! You have to tell us the ROI of the garden!
The future
Mmm, now that’s a 700$ leafy green salad…
Good usefully grow lights cost a thousand dollars and up,up.
