Can I grow lettuce and herbs indoors in the Floating Gardens?
Yes, but adequate light is required. As long as the plants are grown in a location where they can receive sunlight (say through a window) for a portion of the day, the plants will grow. You can supplement the available lighting with inexpensive full spectrum compact fluorescent (CFL) lights or fluorescent “grow lights”. This will markedly enhance your plants’ vitality and growth. We have successfully grown basil and other herbs solely under CFL and fluorescent plant lights. We make a plant light assembly designed specifically for the Vegetable Hydroponic kit; this lighting unit can also be used for the Kitchen Garden kit and for providing illumination for potted plants.
