Invention Awards: A Box That Keeps Plants Hydrated in the Desert

Ever since doing a school semester in Arizona, I've been fascinated by the ways people come up with take care of growing their own food in the desert, so this definitely caught my eye

Sounds like that desert survival technique of digging a hole, covering it with a plastic bag or something like that and waiting for the water to condense so you can drink it. Though I suppose for $7.1 million dollars it's probably a little more advanced.

20 British pounds (about 28 USD) per unit, plus s&h is rather steep. Otherwise I'd consider product testing here in TX. It gets to and stays 100-115 June-Sept.

Honestly the price is far too high for large-scale farming. I'm not sure how he's going to scale this up and make it affordable to the people who need it.

Otherwise, it's a pretty good invention.
