From the size of the herb garden of the smaller (there is a second elongated, which is higher). It fits well in the upper refrigerator compartments on the refrigerator door and met 100% its purpose. Although in the instructions, you should not basil in the fridge, I recommend the opposite. Tried it with no fridge: life only a few days; with refrigerator, however: almost 3 weeks full durability. Bin of the effectiveness of this herb garden absolutely convinced!
