Grobal (http://www.grobalworld.com) is well known for its modern, contemporary look and ease of growing plants - even for the brownest of green thumbs - due to the self watering feature the Karim Rashid design is based on. However, Grobal also has a special place in the kitchen. With an ever present focus on home gardening and healthy cooking, Grobals are a great way to incorporate fresh herbs into your life.The Baby Grobal in particular is small so takes up little room and herbs can be grown with minimal maintenance due to Grobal's self watering plant pot design. Just fill the water reservoir after planting and monitor the water level, but for the most part, Grobal does the work for you. This comes in handy if you travel regularly for business or pleasure. There's a good chance your herbs will be alive and well when you return home!
Fresh herbs provide a tasty substitute for salt, sugar and other ingredients that many may be watching for dietary reasons. In addition to intense flavor, brightly colored herbs also add a visual finishing touch to any dish and make you look like a professional in the kitchen.
Another fringe benefit to growing fresh herbs is getting kids interested in home grown foods, healthy cooking and learning where foods come from. It's not always possible to have a full garden, but it can be a fun activity for them to help select which herbs to use and adding them to the actual dish so they feel they have participated in the meal.
Grobals also offer a solution to off-season growing. For most of us, unless a green house is involved, efforts to grow fresh anything in the off-season are a losing battle. Grobals provide a low space and low maintenance answer to keeping the faith in home gardening year-round.
