Like Buscuitridge, I grow year round. 365 indoors. One 35$ 4ft LED stoplight is all that is needed.
9 or 12 inch deep shelf.
I am familiar with the product but the expense is unnecessary. I do get the charm of having a
pretty green mini forest of herbs and salad but it only will give a random pinch here and there.
Nice and compact in the kitchen if you have the space.

For the expense, you could get a dozen pounds of seed and soiless mix for an entire winter or
more.
I'm testing this year many head lettuces and started some Thai basil that is doing great.
I often get so much harvest I need to bag it. (prefer fresh clipped).
Tomatoes to fruit need a bit more attention. I grow micros but I have a very sunny South window.

Pest management is not that difficult with a few simple methods to monitor their breeding.
