Are you starting to miss the herbs and veggies you grew this summer?  All those herbs spilling from your containers, the tomatoes, beans and other delectables, a distant memory. Would you like to have access to fresh herbs, produce and flowers all year long, growing inside your home or apartment without soil? 

"The cutting edge of countertop cultivation" is how the folks at Modern Sprout describe their product.  This stylish container is the result of hydroponics and ingenuity.  Chicago based founders Nick Behr and Sarah Burrows are city apartment dwellers who love to cook and eat organically and wanted to grow their own food.  After stuffing every conceivable light-filled space in their home and on their balcony with botanicals, they unsuccessfully found that their enthusiastic efforts resulted in dry, withered, and frequently dead plants.
