For our second prototype, we decided to make some key changes to the planter box and the TweetGrass stand:

make the box flatter and wider in order to display the wheatgrass better, to store all the hardware, and to allow people the counter space to juice the wheatgrass

provide two recycling bins underneath the planter-counter so that when people recycle something, they will tweet the tweet-screen (we were really inspired by what we saw on thefuntheory.com!)

change from a solenoid valve, which relied on gravity, to a basic water pump

improve the water nozzles so as to provide a more even distribution of “tweet rain”
