Is Click & Grow worth buying?
Click & Grow suits people who want fresh herbs with very little effort. It is a poor fit if you want to save money on herbs, because the ongoing cost is in the pods.
Click & Grow sells a countertop garden that handles light and water for you, together with plant pods that hold the seeds and growing medium. You add water, drop in pods and harvest, which is why it appeals to people who have never grown anything.
The garden is a one-off purchase, but the pods are a recurring one, so work out the cost across a year. Compare it with buying herbs at the supermarket or growing from seed in a pot, and decide whether the convenience is worth the premium.
The store says its pods come with a sprouting guarantee. Read the exact wording for what it covers and how to claim, and check the garden's own warranty separately.
-
Add up the pod costs
Multiply the pod price by how often you will replant. That is the real running cost.
-
Read the guarantee wording
Find out what the sprouting guarantee covers and what you need to do to claim it.
-
Check space and light
The garden needs a spot near an outlet. Measure the counter before you buy.
-
Check delivery time
Plants are time-sensitive. Confirm shipping speed for pods as well as the garden.
