Roll-out garden planner The Nourishmat takes a bit of the guess work out of starting a new garden. The mats come with irrigation systems to regulate water, a weed barrier to reduce maintenance, and room for up to 19 types of vegetables arranged for complementary growth. Instead of regular seeds, the Nourishmat uses seed pods which require less refined soil. The designers estimate that one mat can produce an impressive 30 pounds of food per season in just a 4' x 6' space.

The Nourishmat Kickstarter campaign is just short of its goal. Mats with seed pods start at $55.
