On these gloomy winter mornings I have been providing my shelf plants with a little extra light using these @gatheragardens grow lights. Watch the video.
My Terra Garden exceeds expectations. We've been picking lettuce I planted just over a month ago. Quick delivery, easy setup, and nothing to do except sit back and watch. No bugs, no rodents eating my seedlings. There's something very satisfying about watching your food grow from seed to plate.
Great product, nice design and quiet when the pump is running. My partner loves growing her strawberries and basil so much that we bought another model and are planning to save for the family farm version. Support team are so lovely and easy to deal with.
Fast shipping. At first I thought it might look a bit ugly where I wanted it, but it works well and the black doesn't disturb the visuals. The bendy arms are very posable. I needed this because the sun doesn't directly enter my windows very much.
I'm looking forward to growing fresh herbs for my restaurant. My goals: provide a fresh-grown product, reduce plastic packaging from purchasing herbs, and maintain consistent availability for at least two bunches a day, five days a week. I'll continue to update as time goes by.
We grew a sunflower in a sun shelf. Here we outline the process of growing a taller plant indoors and what we learned along the way. Watch the video.
I was super excited to receive my sun shelf. It was super easy to assemble. I've had it running for only a few days but can already see my seeds sprouting, so exciting! Before I even set it up I had already purchased two more grow modules.
Delivery was very quick. The lights are working to expectation for my indoor plants: African violets, orchids and Streptocarpus. I run the lights for 12 hours per day.
Have you wondered what hydroponics are and how they work? I use a gathera system to explain how all the different pieces of the puzzle fit together. Watch the video.
I haven't had to buy lettuce in a year. In summer it only takes four weeks from seed to picking. Basil and dill love it, and silverbeet is ready every few days. My seedlings grow so much faster and healthier in the system than in soil. I've even started feeding nutrients to my monstera and it just produced a new leaf.
Magical. A veggie bowl of goodness. So easy to grow. Wonderful.
Definitely getting out of hand. They're throwing out too many big leaves and I'm running out of space.
This is the best thing I've ever bought for my studio apartment. I really missed having a garden, and my indoor plants weren't cutting it. I can choose to just set it and let it go, or potter, trim and clean if I want to. It also looks great, like the prettiest lamp and feature in your home.
This rockwool product is great. Easy to use and I'm enjoying being able to propagate my aquarium plants with it. Great, fast service and delivery.
Very happy with these lights. All my plants are thriving under them.
I purchased the sun shelf for my African violets. I was tired of moving them around the house to find the best light as the seasons change. The lights are set and forget, coming on and going off automatically. Now all I have to worry about is watering and enjoying the flowers.
Rain, hail or shine, the gathera sun shelf 2 lets me garden and grow indoors all year round. I love the new seamless design and lighter colour of water-resistant laminate wood. The grow lights on each shelf level can be controlled individually, making it so customisable to my plants' needs.
Yes, I'm a primary producer. I get to buy a tractor, ute and cattle dog now, right? Lettuce straight from the hydro rig to the bowl. Spinach is coming on strong. Unfortunately the capsicum hasn't been as successful.
I tried to sprout moth beans and it worked. I had tried sprouting moth beans before with various methods but nothing worked for me until now.
Love how easy it is to use and that the heads can be moved around. Have mine clipped to the edge of a shelf.
This view makes me dead happy. Feeling like a serious operation this year. The chillies (15 varieties), pepper (9 varieties), aubergines (4 varieties) and tomatoes (22 varieties) are loving life under the lights.
As an artist I love having plants around me for added inspiration. Fell in love with the family farm and have the perfect spot for it in my studio. The smell of fresh herbs will be perfect. It really is a lovely piece of furniture and so easy to put together.
