There’s something incredibly romantic about the thought of growing your own vegetables. You till the soil, put in seeds, and grow nice, new edible lifeforms. But, part of that romanticism comes from our typical lack of actually doing the work. Pushing a few buttons in Harvest Moon doesn’t count! Instead, we desire an experience much like that of using some of the best wireless mice; plug in a piece and start playing right away. Gardyn is pleasant enough to give us that with one of the first plug’n’play gardens for indoor use. They’re also offering their flagship products — the Gardyn Home 2.0 and Gardyn Home 3.0 — at a steep discount for Memorial Day, with an extra $100 off for a device or $150 for a device with membership on top of other discounts. Just tap the button below to choose your Gardyn and starter plants, then enter the code “BLOOM” at checkout.

Why you should buy a Gardyn Home Kit

Getting a Gardyn Home Kit is sort of like buying a combination of three things for your home: a living indoor sculpture, a garden builder, and a wise farming sage at your call. The sculpture claim is the easiest to figure out, a Gardyn is a tower with vibrant green leaves and patches of the colors of choice fruits and vegetables . Here’s how the other factors come into play:

If you want to build a garden, there is no easier way than with a Gardyn. Since we reviewed the Gardyn Home Kit 2.0 last year, the indoor gardening space has been constantly evolving. It means that Gardyns, which has always been friendly to newcomers, are getting even better. For example, a Gardyn Home Kit has always been very plug’n’play friendly for growing — just plug a yCube into your Gardyn (they come monthly with the subscription) and start growing — but the newer Home Kit 3.0 has made assembly the same way. No screws or screwdrivers needed!

Need sage advice on how to grow your crops? Of course you do! Gardyn automates watering, lighting, and nutrient feeding of your plants and has an AI-powered growth assistant. When that doesn’t work, the community Gardyn has grown around it is ready to throw in advice as well, with everything from custom crop growing recipes to schematics for your 3D printer to make more yCubes. Want to forget it all and let something else do all the work? There’s a vacation mode that lets the AI take over completely for a period of time. In other words, Gardyn (and the community it created) is there for you at every step along your plant-growing journey.

Remember, if you want to sprout your green thumb indoors this summer, follow the link below to choose your favorite Gardyn Home products and enter the code “BLOOM” to secure an additional $100 or $150 dollars off for this Memorial Day deal.

Remember Samsung’s Ballie home robot? It may finally be inching closer to reality
Leaked app wireframes give the strongest hint yet that Samsung's Ballie home robot, first shown at CES 2020, might still be headed toward an actual release.

Samsung's rolling home robot has been the industry's longest-running "will it ever actually ship" joke, and I'll admit I'd mostly given up on it. Now, there's finally a glimmer of hope.

Samsung first unveiled Ballie as a concept at CES 2020. Then, it showed it as a significantly upgraded version four years later. However, the company never confirmed a release date or committed to releasing it at all.

Future Roombas face new US sales hurdles, but existing models are unaffected

The FCC has already made it much harder for foreign drone makers such as DJI to bring new products into the US. Now, the same crackdown is reaching a machine far more likely to be moving around your living room.

The US government recently added foreign-made advanced robotic devices to the FCC’s Covered List. The announcement appeared focused on humanoids, robot dogs, and industrial machines, but an FCC spokesperson has confirmed to The Verge that robot vacuum cleaners are covered too.

The GOKO M6 Robotic Lawn Mower Brings Industrial Robotics to Modern Lawn Care
7 reasons this AI-driven powerhouse makes hands-free yard work smarter than ever
Grass, Lawn, Plant

Robotic lawn mowers can save homeowners hours of manual yard work, but not every model is designed for challenging properties. While many perform well on flat lawns, larger yards with uneven terrain, steep slopes, and multiple mowing zones require a mower built for more demanding conditions.

Developed by GOKO, the consumer robotics brand of Robot++, the GOKO M6 is an industrial-grade 4WD AI-powered robotic lawn mower that brings more than a decade of industrial robotics expertise to residential lawn care. It combines AI-powered four-wheel drive, advanced navigation technologies, and AI QuadVision obstacle detection to tackle complex landscapes with less manual intervention.
