Because pizza doesn’t grow on trees, but apparently you can grow it in a pot, here’s a Grow Your Own Pizza Kit. I’ve never been much of a gardner, but for pizza I’d definitely make an exception. I’d do anything for you, Pizza! The kit comes with packets of tomato, basil, and oregano seeds, along with some pots, compost, plant markers, and a booklet with some tips and puzzles. Wait, that’s all? Uh, what about the cheese? And dough? Most importantly, where the f*** are the toppings? Wow, this is actually just a gardening kit in the guise of a pizza kit — I been duped. Duped, I tell you!

Speaker Planter Answers Question: What’s the Sound of a Plant Growing?
If you’re both a horticulturist and an audiophile, then have I got the perfect thing for you. Ok, it’s probably more for the gardener than the audio fanatic since it doesn’t actually function as a speaker, but this thing is still kind of a neat idea.
While it looks just like a bookshelf speaker, what you’re looking at is a 3D-printed planter. It measures about 4″(W) x 4″ (D) x 5.8″(H) and has a drainage hole to make sure your plants don’t get overwatered. Just don’t try connecting this thing to your amplifier unless you want to short it out.
You can buy the 3D-printed speaker planter for $30(USD) from PixilShop over on Etsy.

Wi-Fi Sensor Tells You When Your Plant Needs Some H2O
Some people have green thumbs while others are known for their plant-killing black thumbs. The former are naturally great at keeping their potted plants and gardens alive and green, while the latter are notoriously known for causing plants to die or wilt a few weeks after they start ‘caring’ for them.
Regardless which group you might belong to, I’m pretty sure you’ll find the Wi-Fi Plant Sensor useful. All you have to do is stick it into your plant’s pot and log on online (or run the iOS app it works with). Select what species your plant is and keep the sensor there for a week, because that’s how long it’ll take for the sensor’s app to come up with a care plan specifically put together for your plant.
After seven days, you can move the sensor to another plant to start the whole process all over again.
The Wi-Fi Plant Sensor was designed in Switzerland by Koubachi and is available for CHF 99.00 (~$104 USD.)

World of Worms
Like many kids (and much to my parents dismay), I was mesmerized by worms! The Miniville compost system capitalizes on this obsession, teaching kids the importance of worms and composting through an interactive, modular “city” structure that gives little ones a first-hand look into the process so they can… well… see how worms work!

Bosch Has A Roomba For The Lawn, Except It Doesn’t Vacuum, It Cuts
By David Ponce
The above is called the Bosch Indego, and is a battery-powered autonomous lawn mowing machine. And it’s got a leg or two up on its competition. Sure, you still need to put some metal wires on the perimeter of your lawn, unless you want the Indego to wander off into the distance, but it’ll handle up to 1,000 sq. meters (or roughly 10,700 sq. ft.) of lawn all on its own thereafter. The main difference is the Indego cuts in straight lines instead of in a random pattern, which makes for a much more efficient cut since it’s not constantly going over the same spots. It apparently does this by localizing itself in relation to its base so it can keep track of where it’s been. But since mowing lawn is pretty heavy duty, its cutting protocol involves 20 minutes of action, with a quick trip back to base for a 90 minute charge, and repeat. If you have a big yard, this could take a while, but it’s hands-off so you shouldn’t really care.
The Bosch Indego will go out for a slow release in Scandinavia this year, with a wider release in 2013 for about US $2,040.
