I test a Lots of Indoor gardening systems Throughout the year, the elegant mid-century Auk has remained a favorite of mine An all-time favorite herbalist. Not only can you plant any seeds you want in a coir substrate (although it does come with parsley and basil), they require very little maintenance, requiring only periodic refills of water and nutrients. There’s also no application to worry about, no pumps or pH testing required. This makes the perfect no-fuss gift for chefs, gardeners, or anyone at all interested in growing their own herbs.
I never see it on sale, and Auk stresses that it rarely is, so if you’re ever on the fence, this is your last chance after – Black Friday and – Cyber Monday to save $20 to $30 on a package (with free shipping!), depending on the finish you choose. This includes the Auk planting pot itself and everything you need to start growing, including pump bottles containing nutrients and a coir bag. The sale ends on Monday, December 15, so there are only a few more days left to take advantage.
The less expensive model is also the latest version of the Auk, with a base made of 100% cork from Portugal. You can also choose an oak bottom for an additional $10 or dark walnut (shown above) for an additional $35. Buyers can choose black or white for the non-wooden parts.
“The new Cork Edition embodies what Auk stands for: natural plants and natural materials,” Auk CEO Diederik Demin said in a statement. “Growing your own herbs at home is not only good for you, it’s better for the planet too. Less plastic packaging and waste, and now, another natural beauty option that works for you.”
