Cool idea!  How does this look with a plant in it?

What plants do you think you could grow to eat?  I can't see anything getting very big in this system, and you'll need to provide nutrients somehow if you want to have something with extended growth.

That's a blood-sample tube isn't it? Could this be finished-off with an example of how it does or should look on your desk? L
