<p>There are many counter top growing systems on the market and <em>yardz</em> has looked at many of them. The <em>CounterCrop</em> system is a bit different, it has a built in hydroponic watering system but its lighting unit uses 'smart' LED light.</p>
<p>The counter top garden is great for growing continuous crops of salads, herbs and microgreens in as little as a few weeks - the lighting and hydroponic system options that are pre-programmed, allow the system to be adjusted to suit optimum growing conditions for the plants being cultivated.</p>
<p>The <em>CounterCrop</em> is due on the market in spring 2015</p>
