Hi all,
Yet another robot, after Tertrill, the garden weeder robot https://forum.gardenersworld.com/discussion/1009649/tertrill-the-garden-weeder-robot 

Herbot is an "Automatic Indoor Gardening Robot" which will enable you to "Grow Anything, Anywhere, Year-Round, Soil-Free". See https://www.herbot.io/

A robot which will take away from gardening all the tedious work of preparing the soil, sowing, planting, pruning, :):smile: ... and all the pleasure of being outside in the sun, in the rain, in the wind, listening to the little birdies etc. :'(

    AI plant growing? "Soil free". Allows you to be skinny and drink wine. Urk.

    but it fits seamlessly fits into your busy, urban lifestyle. and the wine bit doesn't sound too bad...

    I've always thought the herbs on the kitchen window cill were holding me back a bit. This could be just the thing to free me from the oppression of watering them.
    If you can keep your head, while those around you are losing theirs, you may not have grasped the seriousness of the situation.

    It's the urban-skinny lifestyle that's the problem.

    I'm not urban and don't do skinny either, not for a couple of decades anyway.   Can't live on herbs alone either.   Horrible idea.

    That's what the wine is for, bulking out your diet.
