- Home growers comparing hydroponic and aeroponic systems
- Worth noticing
- The calculator estimates year-one cost, annual cost and cost per plant using power rates and replanting frequency.
Field notes
The calculator lets readers adjust electricity rates and replanting frequency, then compares year-one and ongoing costs alongside cost per plant. The current articles put that method to work on questions such as whether a Gardyn membership pays off, while the site says its first physical system test has not yet begun. Prices are dated, and unpublished figures are labeled unknown rather than estimated.
