Growing plants is a much tougher task when you're in space. In microgravity conditions, water droplets float, and if herbs don't grow, it's not as if there's a supermarket nearby.

To remedy this problem, inquisitive minds at NASA invented a hydroponic wheel in 1980. Sadly, the plans were never developed until a fully-functioning device – that is, until recently.

The company DesignLibero saw it as a shame that the concept went unused, therefore, invented The Green Wheel, "an iconic garden object for residential use, like a T.V." 

The revolutionary hydroponic garden could provide those without reliable access to a garden the tools they need to start growing some of their own food indoors.
