Paid $300 for a 'smart garden' that grew exactly one sad basil plant

I fell for one of those fancy countertop hydroponic systems last spring, thought I'd save money on herbs. After 3 months of fiddling with app updates and buying special pods, I got maybe 2 tablespoons of basil total. The pump died on week 8 and customer service ghosted me. Anyone else waste cash on these things or have a setup that actually works?

Falls right in line with all those subscription traps getting folks these days.

and it's just another monthly subscription with extra steps. Feels like they make the plants fail on purpose to sell more pods.
