Helen Greiner – CEO, Tertill: The Solar powered weeding robot #Tertill

Helen Greiner – CEO, Tertill stopped by! Interview with Helen, Ladyada, and pt.

Tertill is the garden weeding robot. Created by the inventor of Roomba, Tertill lives in your garden, runs on sunshine, and weeds every day – so you don’t have to! Tertill keeps weeds from sprouting robotically, so no need to spray herbicides, haul mulch, or put down ugly plastic films.

AND! As of today the Tertill™ Grow Together Bundle is available (we talked about this in the interview).

Growtogether 1800X1800

Ships the first week of December, while supplies last. 

Tertill’s robotic awesomeness allows the focus of gardening to be the magical experience of growing food rather than the hated chore of weeding. Time in the garden can now be spent planting, watching pollinators at work, and tasting fresh organic vegetables right off the vine. Gardening together creates family memories and teaches valuable hands-on lessons that last a lifetime.
