If you've always wanted to try your hand at gardening but lack the green thumb required to do so successfully, you may want to consider the Urban Cultivator, a tech-savvy hydroponic growing system that makes growing greens dead simple. Built-in computers manage humidity, watering, light and air so that all you have to do is add the system's provided organic fertilizer once a week and eat the fruits of the system's labor.
A smaller model, featured below, uses your kitchen's built-in water and power hookups and can slide underneath your cabinetry like a dishwasher or stand alone as a kitchen island. To read more about hydroponics, check out how Subway Japan is using hydroponic enclosures to grow their own lettuce.
