Frequently Asked Questions
What can indoor gardening systems grow in a commercial kitchen?
Indoor gardening systems grow fresh herbs, microgreens, and leafy greens year-round without soil. They provide a consistent supply of garnishes and ingredients right in your kitchen.
How much space do indoor gardening units require in a restaurant?
Most commercial indoor gardening units are compact enough to fit alongside other equipment. They take up roughly the footprint of a small reach-in refrigerator depending on the model.
Should I invest in indoor gardening to reduce produce costs?
Growing herbs and greens in-house with indoor gardening eliminates supplier markups and reduces waste from unused fresh produce. The savings add up, especially for restaurants using large amounts of herbs.
Can indoor gardening systems run without natural sunlight?
Yes. Indoor gardening systems use built-in LED grow lights that provide the full light spectrum needed for growth. They work in any interior space, even without windows.
When can I expect a first harvest from indoor gardening systems?
Most herbs and microgreens grown in indoor gardening systems are ready to harvest in 10 to 21 days, depending on the variety. Leafy greens may take slightly longer.
Do indoor gardening systems require any special plumbing or electrical hookups?
Most indoor gardening units plug into a standard 115V outlet and use a built-in water reservoir. No special plumbing is required, making installation simple.
Are indoor gardening systems worth it for a fine dining restaurant focused on seasonal menus?
Yes. Indoor gardening gives fine dining kitchens control over ingredient freshness, flavour, and variety regardless of season. Having live herbs on hand elevates both presentation and taste.
