Gardening in urban landscapes with little to no outdoor space is tricky. Even with modern indoor gardening systems, this cultivating activity becomes difficult as these contraptions take up your precious space either on the floor, countertop, or table. To that accord, hydroponic tower gardens have become the best solution, allowing urban dwellers to grow fresh farm-to-table produce while saving space. The latest to join the fleet is the Aerospring Pinch, which is a high-yield, compact, and modular hydroponic garden system, perfect for indoor and outdoor growing.
Designed by Singapore-based Aerospring Hydroponics, one Aerospring Pinch can grow 15 plants at once. It comes in four different configurations and can be upgraded to grow 30 plants. The gardening system comes in four types: indoor corner, outdoor corner, indoor wall, and outdoor wall. The corner models feature 15 grow nodes, while the wall versions have 30 slots.
Its sleek, modular design can fit in any corner of your home, letting you use the awkward, otherwise empty space. The gardening system comes with swivel lights, a large water tank, multiple configurations, and automation.
The hydroponic tower can be used to grow over 200 varieties, such as leafy greens, small fruits like strawberries, vegetables, edible flowers, and more. It has an easy-to-access and unencumbered design that lets you easily prune and harvest. You can move the swivel grow lights out of the way to reach the plants, which is more often a hindrance in other systems.
At the base, a 13-gallon water tank keeps the plants growing in the modules nourished for days, allowing you to go away from home for longer periods. You can automate irrigation and lighting with the Aerospring Wi-Fi plugs and the Aerospring mobile app. Each Pinch can provide about 200-300 grams per plant node every month, depending on the variety of the plant.
The indoor garden system is easy to assemble, maintain, and clean. It sets up in just 30 minutes, and its easy-access water tank lets you manage nutrient and pH levels. You can install the garden and place it in any unused space in your home, but it is specifically designed to make the most of the corners.

With the Aerospring Pinch hydroponic system, you can grow fresh food anywhere, inside or outside. The automation features keep the plants well-fed and nourished, so you don’t have to worry about the plants in your absence.
Each Pinch model contains a water tank and the central grow tower, and the indoor units come integrated with swivel grow lights. Currently crowdfunding on Kickstarter, you can back the Aerospring Pinch indoor corner for S$619 (roughly $460), while the outdoor corner is priced at S$409 (about $300).
