Lengthy deep space missions pose higher risks to spacefaring humans compared to trips to the ISS or to the moon -- after all, our bodies evolved for life on Earth. In an effort to find ways to reduce those risks, NASA has joined forces with the Baylo...
The urban Planty isn’t like the other planter concepts you may have seen. Most concepts try to move towards making the plant self sustainable. Water once, forget about it for a week. The Urban Planty doesn’t sacrifice human interaction. It just targets making the plant grow healthier.
How does it do that? For starters, it comes with a stand for approximately 9 plants, laid out in a way that allows each to get a good amount of sunlight. Within the planter, a few design tweaks ensure healthy plant growth. A weed barrier prevents weed growth by cutting off all the sunlight reaching the soil. The urban baggie, made of jute, wraps itself around the soil, creating a breathable house for the plant. Jute even though organic, won’t biodegrade for at least 2 gardening seasons. The reservoir, lastly, at the base, helps collect excess water that can be used by the plant later on. It also has means of aerating the soil from below.
Going green has never been such a breeze!

We love chips. Maybe not as much as Oprah loves chips, but we do love ‘em . We just don’t like the oil as much, even if that is where all the flavour lives. Still, we eat them in moderation, so we’re a little intrigued by the above chip maker.
Simply slice potatoes using the included mandoline slicer, arrange the slices on the cooking trays, and insert the trays into a microwave. The patented silicone trays create convection heat that produces perfectly cooked chips in minutes without using a drop of oil.
One reviewer on the Hammacher website said that the resulting chips were crispy indeed, but tasted more “potato-like” and “less oily.” And that it was a taste that “needed getting used to”. We’re not sure if that’s a polite way to say they tasted awful, but he did give the item a 4/5 rating. There’s three trays, so you can cook about 30 chips at once, or just about enough for a small snack. It’s $59, which isn’t exactly cheap, so we hope you’re really into low-fat cooking if you plan on getting this.
