Plant it, forget it

No. It isn’t sorcery. The Verdure is most definitely an automatic herb planter. Just place the seeds in the appropriate place and fill the water reservoir, and it’ll grow on its own, water itself, even give itself sunlight!

The auto-planter makes use of capillary action to water itself. This allows the soil to suck in water from a reservoir whenever it goes dry. The Halogen lamp is strong enough to enable photosynthesis, and the reflector in front of it multiplies the light.

Another awesome feature is the collector basin and scissors that enable you to cut and pick the herbs/leaves whenever you need them for cooking. Fresh from the source!
