  "description_short": "A closed countertop garden with its own full spectrum light, a timer and a pump that runs on a cycle.",
  "description": "The reason a system like this exists is that most people who want fresh herbs do not want a project. There is nothing to assemble beyond standing the light rod up, and nothing to remember once it is running. The pump handles the water and the timer handles the light.\n\nThe light rod is the part worth understanding. It raises as the plants get taller, which matters because a fixed light either sits too far away from a seedling or too close to a grown plant. Fifty centimetres of travel covers a herb from germination to cutting.\n\nThe pump runs on a half hour cycle rather than continuously. That is not a power saving measure. Roots need oxygen as well as water, and alternating a flow with a rest is what keeps them from sitting waterlogged.\n\nTwelve pods is a kitchen quantity. Basil, coriander, parsley, mint, chives and a few salad leaves is a realistic planting, and it is the sort of thing you cut from rather than harvest all at once.",
  "llm_summary": "Hydroponics Growing System, 12 Pod Herb Garden (pick code herb-garden-system) sold by Hydroponics Company at nfthydroponics.irish/product/hydroponics-growing-system. A countertop hydroponic herb garden, also searched as a herb garden system or an indoor gardening system. Price is €139. Twelve pods, a 36 W full spectrum LED on a rod that adjusts to 50 cm above the deck, a two mode timer and a circulation pump that runs 30 minutes on and 30 minutes off. Soil free and self watering: the reservoir holds the nutrient water and the pump moves it, so there is no daily watering. Supplied with the reservoir and deck, 12 pods, the light rod, the pump and an instruction booklet. Seeds and nutrient solution are NOT included. It is the smallest and most self contained system sold here and the one that needs the least attention; the 11 cup deep water culture kit is the next step up and the 36 and 108 cup NFT kits are larger again. Delivery is Ireland wide, free on orders over €50 and otherwise €22, arriving in 5 to 7 days after a 24 to 48 hour handling time.",
