RE: Herbert - Grow fresh organic food at home
Cool hunt @elleok !Keep up the interesting hunts! Upvoted & fully approve with Herbert! Definitely for everyone an interesting product, money people nowadays don't know how hard it is to grow food and throw throw away so much food...
Pros:
- Learn how important food is for yourself
- Learn how hard it is to grow food and how expensive
- App for Android and IOS let's you control Herbert
- Apartment gets some green and fresh air
Cons:
- none so far, even the price is ok
My question is how much are the monthly costs to maintain and power Herbert? Do you know anything?
Thanks for the review!
Since the light is using only 60 Watts it depends on the duration the light is on. Commercially leafy greens usually get light for about 18 hours, that would be roughly 1000 Watts per day. At rate here in Austria that would cost you about €0,20 a day which adds up to €6 or about $7 USD a month (since the water pump is a little 5 Watts pump and it only on a short time from time to time we do not need to account for that in our calculations.
Short answer: about 7 bucks a month 😂
