I was very excited about this product because I live in a small NYC apartment that doesn't get enough natural light to ever successfully grow anything. I thought this seemed like a great solution.

Unfortunately, after I set it up I realized that the grow light is so unbelievably blinding when it is on 18or so hours a day that I cannot even stand to have it in my kitchen. Looking at it or even having it on gives me a migraine headache and makes my eyes hurt. I just called the company hoping they would produce some kind of curtain or something to help the situation and they do not. Not only that but the customer service representative was very rude and unhelpful.

Now I am stuck with a very expensive device that I cannot use. I don't understand how anyone can stand to have this in their home.

And, p.s., to top it off, 2out of the 5 seed pods are defective and will not grow anything. SUCH a WASTE!!!

Customer Service Response:
Michelle, I'm sorry you find the lights too bright, but the plants need that light to grow! I see that you called in and spoke to two of our agents, and one was able to help you by replacing the two seed pods that didn't germinate. Sometimes seeds don't sprout, but our germination guarantee covers you on that.

However, be careful when shopping Amazon for this item...they are passing off Classic 6's for 7's! The box says "7" but when you open it, the base says classic 6 and there is no circulating pump, it has the old air pump, so you don't get the benefit of fast germination because the water is not pumped up to the pods. I have 4 "classic 7's" in my home and I love them all!!! My grandson's pet turtle went CRAZY such fresh lettuce!! Bought him a 3 pod ladybug for his birthday! (Posted over a month ago)

Customer Service Response:
6 and 7 refer to the number of holes in the Grow Deck. The AeroGarden 7 does indeed now have the newer bubbler technology (introduced about a year and a half after the water pump); we re-purposed AeroGarden 6 bases with a 7-hole grow deck. We liked the AeroGarden 6 because the plants had more room to grow, but discontinued it when it became clear that customers preferred the 7 - probably because 7 is more than 6! The seed sponges wick water up to start germination, and our plant lab has never observed a difference in germination speed between the two systems.

I live in the Alaskan Bush where fresh produce is at a premium so being able to grow my own greens is a huge relief! I purchased the AeroGarden 7 in August and my harvest of salad greens lasted until December! It turned out to be much cheaper than trying to buy fresh greens here from the store, not too mention convenient--who wants to trek to the store in -40 degrees when you can just have your own little garden indoors? Overall I am super pleased with my AeroGarden and have since purchased 2 more :) (Posted over a month ago)

I have had my Aero Garden 7 for several years and I just love it. When I need to pick my herbs I cut them and put them in an ice cube tray and add olive oil into each cube and put the tray in the freezer. When the herbs freeze I remove them from the ice tray and put them in a baggie and put it in the freezer. When I use them for cooking I just remove as many as I need and put them into my cooking pot. Freezing them in this manner keeps them fresh until I use them and I no longer use the herb keeper. (Posted over a month ago)

I like the AeroGro itself, but recently I ordered a couple of custom seed kits. They arrived with the wrong seeds packaged. I contacted AeroGro to let them know of the mixup. They acknowledged receiving my email, but never did anything to fix the issue. I have ordered non-custom kits without a problem over the years, so I don't recommend spending money on the custom kits. (There wasn't a place for me to review the custom kit on the custom herb kit page, so I went here instead.) (Posted over a month ago)

I purchased this for my Father for a Christmas present. We set it up and started off with the Cherry Tomato kit that I purchased for him as well. Two of the three seed pods sprouted within a week, the third was a little slower, but is now sprouting up as well. Dad is really excited to see how well his tomatoes are going to turn out, and he is already thinking about what else he can plant in the AeroGarden. (Posted over a month ago)

I spent over $200 on lights, distilled water, more nutrients, more seed packs but never got a lot of turnout, sorry. I'm a serious gardener and found that the plants were not substantial enough and the nutrient tablets not strong enough. I had some spindly, weak herbs and then a few flowers but that is all I got for all the time/expense. I now use as a grow light for my african violets. Customer service was top notch each time, replaced bad nutrient tablets without a problem but still not much success. Great concept however, (Posted over a month ago)

I've had my aerogarden going on 4? years now I believe, and I could not be happier with my little buddy. It is so simple! I was in college and this little guy was perfect for my dorm with the ease of use (no dirt, light timer, ease of seeding). Now it is even better in my apartment where it sits in my kitchen ready for use (well, once the new herbs are ready) to be thrown into all my dishes. I <3LOVE<3 My Aerogarden, and I am loving all the new upgrades even better. (Posted over a month ago)

We are Aerogarden junkies. We now have 22 aerogardens and are growing multiple varieties of tomatoes, peppers, zucchini, yellow squash, melons, ground cherries, huckleberries, and herbs. Last year I started strawberrie plants to transplant into 35 slots cut into 55 gallon drums (fabulous..just run a large pvc pipe down the center with cut holes for a self watering option), which are first year bearing as we were able to fool the strawberries into believing they were going through multiple seasons...this is another perk for using aerogarden. If you start them now and then transplant during the winter months and allow to go dormant in a protected cold but not lower than 25 F for a few weeks they will produce this next JUNE :) just feed them well! With 22 aerogardens...I am feeding 2 other families and mine with fresh tomatoes every day. Why am I not using larger aeroponic units? Because these give me more control over exact lighting and nutrients per every few plants and it allows for better rotation and maintanance. And, I can use solar panels easily on these low electric use items. Although I would be very interested in larger triple the growing possibilities in a single aerogarden unit. I cannot think of anything I do not like about aerogardens. (Posted over a month ago)

I love cooking with fresh herbs and am feeling more comfortable the more I do it! Having the herbs available right in my kitchen is wonderful. It never ceases to amaze me how many people walk into my kitchen and say, "Oh, I always wanted to try one of those." My reply to all of you is DO IT!!!

Who doesn't like to watch seeds sprout, right? These are great because they're IN YOUR HOUSE, so you can peek at them all the time, and watch their progress. Once they get going, the 3 kits I've had so far bloom for a very long time. An added benefit (one the manufacturers probably didn't intend) is that they work great as a light on a timer. Mine goes off at 1:30am, adding a level of security to the house when I've gone to sleep. Love that! (Posted over a month ago)

I got my Aerogarden 7 on a whim and was just amazed at how fast the tomatoes grew. I love the feature of the grow lamp as I use it as a night light down the hall and its just perfect. My cleaning lady saw it just within the first few days of it being setup and then when she returned 2 weeks later, she was amazed and ordered one when she got home that night. I have since bought one for my mother-in-law as she will love this. Ordered it today so I can give it to her when we go there for the Holidays. (Posted over a month ago)

I love to be able to grow what I eat and have gorgeous flowers all year long. This is the only product I've ever seen advertised that does EXACTLY what is claims to do. Having a chronic illness, it's difficult to go outside to garden. With the aerogarden, the plants are healthier and much easier to care for. Only downside is I don't have enough of them.

Delightful inside garden! After going through DisneyWorld's hydroponics' gardens 20 years ago and after years of trying to locate a useable aero/hydroponics garden, I finally found what I had been looking for in this product. Congrats, AeroGrow, for creating this wonderful product. My sandwiches have fresh lettuce daily - a treat for somone home-bound and not able to take care of an outside garden. I was so delighted with the salad greens, I purchased two more AeroGardens. Excited? You bet. Can't wait. (Posted over a month ago)

I purchased two of these gardens, one for tomatoes, and one for lettuce. I started them last december, and had lettuce about a month later that lasted for months all through the winter! The tomatoes took longer of course, but when they finally started producing I had fresh tomatoes twice a week for several months. The only note I have on growing tomatoes is that you really do need to prune the plant like they say to or it becomes a giant leggy mess...still produces alot, just looks strange...which was my fault since I could't bring myself to cut the plant back like they said to...next time I will! I am starting another batch this fall so I have fresh veggies again this winter! Great product! (Posted over a month ago)

I am new to Aerogarden, so new in fact that I have just set up my new Aerogarden 6 Elite. So while I have to leave the how great they grow reviews to others. I can however tell you what a well made thought out product it is. I have always been skeptical of internet items that I am not personally familiar with. So much so that I rely on reviews and background research and then email response from the seller. I must say that CJ far and exceeded answering my emails so much so that I felt very comfortable that the product would be of the highest standard and it has exceeded my expectations in quality and simplicity that from the novice to the green thumbers will have a great crop. So for those like me who doubt what we can't see, your sure to get your monies worth and quick informative responses, Thanks Aerogarden for the great product and for great personnel like CJ whose emails express that you'll be there from seed to harvest and any failure is never questioned but simply replaced, a great way to stand behind a product!

Aero Gardens are awesome! We have had the classic for several years. It is not only a source for our herbs for wonderful scrumptious salads but for tons of stir fries and cooking needs. All provided "fresh" right in front of you to pick, whenever; even in the coldest days in Wis Midwest Winters! Yes, finally the pictures on-line and on the box "do grow to look like" what the picture on their advertising displays. The lighting provides a great source for a "light therapy" too for anyone suffering from SAD (season affective disorder; that is lack of sun in the winter months)! Just go close to the light for 30 seconds and "voila" your day starts off with a positive tone! And did I mention the beautiful tantalizing smells from the growing plants! You will save on health care too as the plants give much needed nutrients and the light therapy for the brain! Great product! Highly recommended! Minimal care and no, I do not secretly work for Aero Garden Co. Wish I did! K.H./Johnson Ck, WI (Posted over a month ago)

I have a science driven 7yr old daughter who loves to grow and test the aerogardens limits. My teen daughter had a year of chemo and its important to cook healthy so this helps cut costs and puts items readily at hand when I cook daily.

I bought this product in hopes of growing fresh romaine and other types of vegatables quickly and neatly indoors. I also have done several studies on hydroponics and thought that it would be somthing neat to try. After a quick setup my romaine sprouted in less than 24 hours and came up out of the pod within 48 hours. I was amazed at how fast they grew! Its amazing and fun to watch along with it being a learning experience. I am so glad I bought my aerogarden and I cant wait to try my romaine once it has matured! I like my areogarden so much Im actually going to buy a second to grow my salsa garden so I can grow more than one thing at a time. The only thing I would reccomend is to buy an extra pump and set of bulbs just incase you need them! (Posted over a month ago)

This was the first Aerogarden I ever purchased, and it's just like an old friend - reliable and dependable. If you are looking for that perfect middle-of-the-road model than this is the one for you! With this unit, you have seven pods, which gives you plenty of space to grow a wide variety of plants (though for tomatoes you may want to consider one of the taller models). I have grown lettuce, herbs, flowers and more, both easily and sucessfully with this reliable little workhorse, and while working it's magic, it's super-quiet too! Just can't think of anything bad to say about this great machine; it truly is a "Classic"! (Posted over a month ago)

I am new to New Mexico, thought I would plant a garden, heat and dry and bugs have all but ruined it!! I got this as a Mothers day gift, I am growing the Mexican herbs, I LOVE IT!!!!! My herbs grew fast and furious... I did have one cilantro that didn't grow, I called, they sent a new plant asap, one of my bulbs didn't work when I received it, I called they sent a new one asap!! When I started the herbs, they sprouted but then started to brown, I immediately called and they saw I was in the southwest, asked if I was using distilled water, no I wasn't, I emptied the tray filled it with distilled and haven't had a problem since (another draw back to the southwest for gardening, HARD water)!!

I am a person who usually kills the hardest plants to kill. I do not have any green in my thumb at all; however, I purchased my Aerogarden, and I have not killed any of my plants. It is so nice to have fresh herbs in the kitchen at all times. The Aerogarden gave me the confidence to try other plants like tomatoes, and even start other types of seeds, and then transplant them into an outside garden. I love my Aerogarden so much that I plan to purchase another one so that I can have a variety of plants going at the same time. This product would make a great gift for people who live in the city and love fresh herbs and vegtables but does not have room for a garden. It would also make a wonderful gift for Grandparents who are not able to maintain a regular garden. The Aerogarden is simple to use, the plants grow so quickly, and the growing season is extended for a longer period of time. Another great feature of the Aerogarden is that it does not use dirt, and because it is kept inside, I do not have to worry about bugs. The Areogarden has a reminder light that tells you when it is time to add water and minerals. This product has made growing plants fun. I can't wait to get my second one. (Posted over a month ago)

I started over 60 plants for my garden this year and every one came up. The squash was ready in 4 weeks and the tomato, cucumber, broccoli, chard, eggplant and pepper plants followed 2 weeks later.

The first one I bought exceeded expectations and was not only perfect in a dark corner of a NYC apartment; but became an immediate conversation piece and a friendly foody companion. Things began to head south only when the copper links no longer worked, and I tried to get help using the help line - which was awful 3 years ago. But I broke down, bought another, a black one, and set it up and am in love all over again. It reminds me of my country home garden and lets me open my mind to dreams, my nose to spices, and my tastebuds to freshness in the heart of the bustle of the City. (Posted over a month ago)

This model is so quiet that the first night I plugged it in, I thought that the pump wasn't working because I couldn't hear anything. I have 3 units, each a different model, and bought this unit with trellis to grow heirloom tomatoes indoors in our apartment. We have a large, enclosed, south facing patio filled with potted flowers in summer, but I want clean, fresh produce year round. Enough light spills over from the unit to grow near it miscellaneous low-light houseplants or forced bulbs like Amaryllis that have foliage that needs to be left on after blooms are spent. It makes our windowless utility room next to 2 bedrooms look more attractive. Adjusting the timing allows it to be a handy nightlight spilling into the hallway with bedrooms nearby. The trellis support system is very simple to install by loosening and re- tightening 4 Phillips screws in the rear of the lighting hood. The only thing I would change is to add the water level indicator like on the space saving corner model that gradually starts to flip from green to red when the water level is getting low. Aero units are so popular, I'd like to see the price lowered, especially for those of us with multiple units who would like to own more. (Posted over a month ago)

I LOVE LOVE LOVE the aerogarden! I have the opposite of a green thumb - a brown thumb I guess. The Aerogarden makes it easy and the feeling you get is so rewarding. When a recipe calls for a sprig of thyme or some basil I can just snip off some from my Aerogarden. It saves so much time and money. Herbs start growing quickly and then next thing you know there will be so much of it you will be giving hebs to friends. Last week I started the seedlings in the Garden Starter Tray for my out door garden and that has taken off like it's on steroids! Corn, Watermelon, peppers, tomatoes, moonflowers, chamomile and more. It's all growing and will be ready to be planted outside soon. I love the Aerogarden so much that I just bought the Extra Elite Aerogarden. I am addicted. (Posted over a month ago)

My wife bought one during x-mas that I set up the same weekend. I am a amateur hydroponist, and a bit of a DIY'er so I had already made a hydroponics unit of my own. I can definitely say that a commercial unit has it's advantages over homemade. They are: 1) the unit has dedicated hardware for timing the lights, 2)monitoring water level, and 3)all the nutrient dosage calculation is already done for you. The bad: 1)Miss the satisfaction of saying "I made this", 2)hard to maintain all plants at same growth level (I had a deluxe herb kit), 3) the seed pods are not easy to reuse- they gotta make money on something, 4)the expense of everything. All in all, a great buy. I'm going to try and modify mine to grow some seeds I have already (lettuce & cherry tomatoes- probably a bad combo together, but who cares). (Posted over a month ago)

I use this to grow the Heirloom Tomatoes. The only complaint I have is that the pump is VERY noisy. My computer is in the same room with it (and with my new Aerogarden Extra), and the noise from the Aerogarden Elite + is annoying. The Aerogarden Extra pump doesn't make any noise at all. What is the difference? If I ever get a fourth Aerogarden (I also own the Aerogarden 3), I would definitely get another Aerogarden Extra and not this one. (Posted over a month ago)

Yes, I'm a groupie, I own and love three Aerogardens! 2-7 pods and 1-3 pod. I've also purchased 5 to give as gifts to my employees, an upcoming wedding gift and my daughter's college graduation.

Review by no longer hibernating in Alaska

I bought two of these to give to my mother and mother-in-law for Christmas. Both are avid gardeners that live in Alaska. They loved being able to grow greens through the dark winter months. They also loved using the herbs in their cooking. Definitely the best feedback I ever got on a gift I've given. The lightbulbs in my mother's did not fit well. She emailed Aerogarden and they told her that it was under warranty and to just send it back for a replacement. Wonderful service. (Posted over a month ago)

I have been considering an AeroGarden for a long time and finally purchased two last month. I love them both! I have a seven-pod at home for herbs and a three-pod at work for flowers. We have very long, hard winters in Iowa, so this will be great to be able to grow things like herbs and veggies in the dead of winter. Additionally, the 3-pod garden is on my desk at work, so I benefit greatly from the extra-bright light just by sitting next to it. The units were very easy to set up and the plants sprouted quickly. My co-worker even bought two after she saw mine. (Posted over a month ago)

During winter used garden for fresh herbs that don't like Florida 'cold'. Just planted (March) first planting of nasturtiums with really healthy roots that took only two weeks from start to planting in garden. ALSO found that the most difficult herbs to transplant didn't even wilt (dill). Now that spring is here it is giving me a quick start on garden before HOT weather arrives (Posted over a month ago)

I'm hooked...rec'd 1st 7-pod 3 years ago from wonderful hubby for Valentine's Day, bought my second a few days later because he had purchased several seed kits and I wanted to get those going. Purchased three 3-pods as Xmas '08 gifts for my employees. Hubby surprised me Valentine's '10 with a lavender 3 pod to honor my best friend's recent passing. Just today received 2 6pod space saver's for upcoming gifts: daughter's college graduation and niece's wedding...Living at 9500 ft, outdoor vegie gardening can be a challenge (I'm still doing it) with summer frosts and a very SHORT season, but with my Aerogardens I'm growing lettuce & herbs hassle free year round.Yahoo!Great product.Thanks!

With the Master Gardener pack, I started strawberry seeds. They are gorgeous. The plants take a while to produce, but almost all of the seeds have so far sprouted into lush, green plants.

It tends to be overcast in San Francisco, and I don't get much light in my apartment. I had tried growing a potted herb garden before, but it didn't work out well. I bought the Aerogarden Classic in the hopes of finally having high-quality fresh herbs to cook with and voila! It is amazing! Its been 3 weeks since I set it up, and I am already harvesting my basil. I highly recommend it to anyone who doesn't have the ideal conditions for growing plants in their home.

I am 16 years old and big into gardening and have even won awards for traditional gardening. When I first saw this product I wanted it in the worst way ever. My parents bought me one for Christmas two years ago and i havent stopped using it yet. I have it in my bedroom and love it. I have grown herbs, flowers, tomatoes and even some of my own custom things. It is very quite while it runs and the light is great because I never have to turn a light on in my room. Also it has helped me revive some tropicals that did'nt get enough light. I love getting fresh herbs, and vegies durring the winter and having beautfull displays of flowers in the summer. The product is a great way to brinh freshness to you cooking or a splash of color to a dull and boring room, or season. It has so many colors and options to match anyones house or personality, and makes a great gift. Finnaly the customer service of this company is awsome!! They really do garentee there pods to grow and will relpace them with no trouble. This easy and fun to use aero garden will not only reward you with wonderfull crops but will also give you a beautifull effortless garden. I love it so much I want another one!!

Review by Aeroed

This was my first AeroGarden and I love it. It was easy to set up and start growing right out of the box. Instructions are clear and if you need help with setup or the plants, the customer support from AeroGrow is fantastic. The extra height on the extension arm and the 3rd bulb allows for growing more types of plans than the "standard" gardens. I, however, don't think that the Heirloom Tomato kit that came with the garden is a good seed kit for beginners. If you are new to hydroponics and this will be your first AeroGarden, you may want to start with growing something that's easier, like herbs or lettuce. Buy this unit for sure, but get an extra seed kit to ease you in. Tomatoes can be fickle. (Posted over a month ago)

I've had my AeroGarden 6 for just over a month, and have already had to raise the light twice; the tall herbs are growing by leaps and bounds and we can scarcely use them quickly enough. Our mint and chives are still coming along slowly, but look healthy. This is practically a set-it-and-forget-it appliance: I found myself wanting to fuss over it but had nothing to do; you just periodically add distilled water and nutrient tablets as you are signaled to do and the Aerogarden does everything else. But having the full-spectrum bulbs and growing plants in my north-facing kitchen is particularly cheering in midwinter, and the surrounding plants love it too- a dormant orchid has rebloomed with many flowers and my once-scraggly rosemary topiary is now lush and full, just sitting on the same shelf as the Aerogarden- amazing transformations in a relatively short time. If I can find some more shelf space I would love to get another Aerogarden for flowers or tomatoes. It may seem like a novelty item, but if you cook regularly with fresh herbs (or enjoy adding them to teas and salads), this is a nice appliance to have- I believe in the long run it will save money over the little $3 packages of herbs at the grocery that go bad after a few days in the refrigerator.

Heck I love these machines. I have 3 set up in my house right now. The herbs are nice, but the real selling point is the salad kits. They provide salad everday for a family of four for about 5 months. I set up a self and use the spaces between the machines to grow other plants in my house. If there is a negative I would have to say its hard to keep up with the plants. They grow so fast you have to keep cutting them down before they reach the lights. (Posted over a month ago)

I have a black thumb, and one of my problems is knowing how to water plants. I love the fact that the AeroGarden is impossible to over-water! I live in Alaska and won't be seeing any green until May - what a blessing to already have green leaves coming up (and the grow bulbs double as "happy lights!") I cannot tell enough of my friends about this product! (Posted over a month ago)

My fiance has been asking for this product for years. I got it, set it up, and presented it to him with sprouts. We are enjoying checking the growth. I only grew 3 out of 6 pods out of fear of failing, but my 3 herbs are coming in fine. It is really nice to know exactly where my food is coming from. It's a great conversational piece and makes people think I'm really into fresh herbs even though I secretly would love a tortilla chip aerogarden. (Posted over a month ago)

I purchased both the Aerogarden 6 and the Veggie Pro and planted them both at the same time. All 6 of my herbs and both of the heirloom tomatoes are growing extremely well. While the black VeggiePro isn't as classy looking as the Aerogarden6 White, it does have the advantage of being able to raise the light up higher, allowing bigger plants. If I had one complaint, it would be that the hood is too high above the plants in the beginning. I thoroughly enjoy both of my Aerogardens. (Posted over a month ago)

I own several Gardens. My adult children were quite attracted to them over the holidays, so I bought a 6-pod for each of them immediately after the holidays. Each came with Herbs - standard - and so had to purchase the seed kits that each of my children wanted - bringing the price up. It would be nice if the purchaser could choose a seed kit to go with their garden. And it would be nice if the rebate coupons were sent out in a timely manner - and if they weren't alredy expired when they are sent several months late. (Posted over a month ago)

I currently grow herbs and the basil plant I got with the seed kit has grown like crazy!! I have had to raise the hood twice in the last week because of the size of the basil. The other herbs are growing fine, but not at the same rate - the dill has been a slow-grower. Since I grow plants on my deck in the spring/summer, I would like to try some vegetable plants next winter to see how they perform. I am amazed at what a low-maintainance device the Aero Garden is!!

Works well. Only glitches I've encountered is sometimes one of the supplied seed pods doesn't sprout. I was really looking forward to that cilantro, but no go.

I received this for Christmas from my husband and set it up that weekend. I've already had to raise the arm and prune my mega cherry tomato plants twice. I'm expecting tomatoes any day!! It's so easy to maintain and I've been amazed at the rapid growth. The produce available in Northeastern Wyoming grocery stores leaves alot to be desired, and I can't wait to enjoy freshly picked, home grown, herbs and vegetables. Our growing season is short and the recent summer weather so unpredictable that an outside garden is difficult to cultivate and doesn't last long. What a wonderful invention the Aerogarden is!

I was given the Aero3 as a Christmas by my Mom, for my Bhut Jolokia pepper plants (Ghost Peppers). Every year I'll use 10-12 half egg shells in my window as starters for my pepper plants hoping 2 or 3 make it, because of the difficulty in growing them. By the time I got the Aero3 I already had 2 plants at about 2.5-3 inches and in pots, so I was going to use the Aero3 simply for the light fixture. I had forgotten that I dumped the soil from the other eggs in the pots with the two plants. Within two weeks I went from having 2 plants growing to 6. I just transferred 3 of the seedlings to the sponge setup as the unit was intended to be used and they are doing awesome. I've been able to grow 3 times the amount, as I usually get in years past, with a much quicker growth rate. Great product especially for difficult plants that need a lot of attention and care. Will be buying a second unit within the next day or two, probably upgrading to the Aero6. (Posted over a month ago)

I considered buying an AreoGarden for years before I actually purchased one. After one AreoGarden I was hooked. Two years later I just bought my third for personal use. I have also bought several as gifts. I recently purchased the tower so now I have three gardens going, salsa, herbs and salad greens. It is great to watch the progress and then enjoy the harvest. Easy to use and set up, it really beats a "real" garden outdoors. My first outdoor garden was destroyed by a hail storm--AeroGarden has no such problem. It is important to change the grow lights on a regular basis--six months is the life expectancy. I did not know that until I bought my second garden. The Garden really works. Fresh herbs add a bang to any dish. (Posted over a month ago)

Got one as a gift from my daughter and returned the favor this Christmas. We both cook extensively with herbs and the Aero Garden does a great job of filling in during the winter when our outside herb garden is dormant due to the midwest winter. Wouldn't be without it. Also great for starting herbs, tomatoes etc, for planting in the garden outdoors. (Posted over a month ago)

I have only had my AeroGarden for about four days, but a couple of my herbs are already sprouting. It was very easy to set up. The light is very bright, so make sure when you set the hours the light is on, your sleep won't be affected. (Posted over a month ago)

Not only is this a great way to have fresh herbs year round, it is so fun! Watching the little seeds sprouting, and then watching them grow at a close range. I have been gardening since childhood, and this beats a long cold freezing winter. In fact I love it so much I am buying one for my Mom & the in-laws who live in Vermont. The only down side is it is a little costly. (Posted over a month ago)

Only have had my AeroGarden for a little over 2 weeks, but am really loving it so far!I live in a place with a short outdoor growing season, so being able to have fresh herbs (and veggies too!) in the dead of winter is a definite plus in my book! Store tomatoes are gross and tasteless. I already started my herbs in the AeroGarden I got for my birthday-already purchased a second one so I can grow tomatoes too! (Posted over a month ago)

I received this AeroGarden as a Christmas present. I couldn't wait to try growing some of my own lettuce seeds from my summer garden. Within 2 full days I had sprouts. I didn't expect to see results so quickly nor have every single seed I planted take. I am very pleased with my AeroGarden and am thinking about buying a second AeroGarden to grow jalapenos.

I love, love, love the aerogarden. I live in the woods and do not have enough natural light to grow my own herbs outside. My 8 & 10 year olds enjoy watching the plants grow and I have gotten them to try lots of new foods since we cook with the herbs we grow. I've also grown the salad greens and gotten my picky eaters to learn to like salads!! The only negative aspect for me is the purchasing of bottled water for the garden. I have a very high iron content to my well water and am afraid the sediment would ruin the pump. I've had my garden over a year and this year I purchased 3 of the small 3 pod gardens and one classic as Christmas presents. I will most likely use aerogardens as gifts again this coming year.

I bought a total of three aerogardens for my wife for Christmas. She had them all set up in record speed. Two days later the Thyme was popping up, and within 4 days I had to take the clear lid off. All of my herbs are growing great. The nice stainless steel design matches all of my kitchen appliances (stove, frigerator, etc...). I have many friends that are cooks, and I plan on telling them all to get one, two or as many as they can. I would love to have an entire garden of these. No reason to go outside in the heat/cold.

I have 2 of the originals, bought 3 space savers for my grown kids and brother and just purchased the deluxe for myself for veggie growing. Super easy to set up and use. I had problems with the water indicator light sticking...so I ran dry without knowing it...as a result I fried my pump...the company was great and sent me a new pump and indicator part no charge. I wouldn't bother with the cherry tomatoes unless you have an extended hood. The grow lights dim after 6 months or so...I didn't realize it until I got a new unit and saw the difference...so if you're not getting good results it may be the lights need changing. I'm not a fan of mixed crops as some seeds take off sooner and bully out the other plants (like basil). I loved the hot pepper crop, even with the basil which I started later. All the lettuce crops grow great and my favorite is the romaine. You need to continuously prune the larger plants in the mixed crops...actually I find pruning all but the lettuces necessary. If you don't used distilled water you should check your water supply regularly and dont depend on the indicator light as deposits can build up and freeze the indicator sleeve inside. All in all it's a great unit[...]. Highly recommended. (Posted over a month ago)

Central Minnesota is very cold, and fresh herbs are expensive when they are available. I got this as a gift, and I began my herbs right after the holiday season. I had fresh herbs for cooking and salads all spring. I have reordered, but my mix was a little different; chives grow well in a pot in a window, and dill is a bit too tall. Dried dill and thyme are very good, so I ordered lots of basil, calantro, and Italian parsley for my salads and cooking this spring. (Posted over a month ago)

I set up the Aerogarden and planted the salad greens without any problem. The greens began to sprout within a day and within three weeks we were eating salad from the Aerogarden. After five weeks, the greens are thick and lush, and you can actually see how much they grow each day. I have had to raise the light a couple of times. We use them in salads and sandwiches. Best of all, we have it set up on our kitchen island, visible from the dining area, where it is convenient to the kitchen and doubles as a beautiful and unique element for the diningroom. When the greens are gone, we will plant herbs. (Posted over a month ago)

However, when Kate notified AeroGarden the consultant agreed to send us replacement seeds and nutrients, and also gave us a gardening tip to keep the soil nutrients in the refrigerator for better response. My advice is to buy the product(s)directly from AeroGarden. (Posted over a month ago)

Herbs are not cheap, but readily available at the supermarket. So, why would anyone want to grow his/her own herbs? You just have to taste the difference -- in your food preparation, in your cooking, in your dining. Plus there's the satisfaction of growing and harvesting your own food. It is a bit of a nuisance setting up or cleaning for successive harvests -- but it's still well worth it. (Posted over a month ago)

For someone who has little time -- long work hours, full course load, busy kids, travel, and one who lives life to the fullest, the Aerogarden brings a few moments of brightness to my office, my kitchen, and my home that I can share with others. With minmal care, aromatic fresh and beautiful greenery fill each room. My kids love the changes the plants go through, getting me a particular herb or flower to enjoy. My coworkers love the healthy plants and the clean lines of the Aerogrow stand itself - It is a visual delight, adn the water sounds and plants are very relaxing. The only negative about this product is the price, but when it can be bought on sale, it is worth it. (Posted over a month ago)

I received the Aerogarden for a mother's day gift and was worried to say the least.

Lo and behold.....it started to grow! I was so excited and now have huge, green, lush herb garden right in my kitchen!

We bought this for Christmas, and now it is July and we are still getting tomatoes. Our plants look bigger and have more fruit than the picture in the web site.

We stopped putting the tablets in and the plants have not died yet, there are still tomatoes growing on the plant. I think that when the new seeds arrive, I will just throw out the tomato plants.

Oh I love the Aerogarden! What a wonderful and easy product to use. My Aerogarden was an early gift from my boyfriend and our children for Mother's day. I received it just over two weeks ago and I really cannot believe how much everything has grown in such a short time! I have the gourment herb kit, and every herb but one has sprouted. I figure its just a bum pod and probably doesn't happen very often, so it doesn't bother me all that much. The kit actually came with two different basils and the italian basil didn't sprout, so I at least get to try the purple basil. Not having a pod sprout is the only problem I have had. Everything else is perfectly fine, and the best part is that it doesn't require a whole lot of work. It was so easy to set up and get going. And not only do I find it cool to see how fast the herbs are growing, but so do my kids! Both of my boys love to help in the kitchen, and this is just peaking their interest even more. I really only have great things to say about this product and I recommend it to anyone who wants fresh herbs, veggies, or flowers. So far I have only done the herbs, but I know I will be trying the other kits you can get because of the ease of use and the convenience of having fresh foods right at home instead of getting it from the store. Absolutely great product! (Posted over a month ago)

This product is great, particularly throughout the winter months, when very little will grow outdoors, even under greenhouse cloth. To be able to have fresh herbs, in plentiful supply, all year long is a joy. I even got my boss to buy one. You do have to be patient and not begin culling extensively too soon. But once the plants are big enough for harvesting (for me, only around 4-5 weeks!) you an barely keep up with the growth! Excellent product. Have already recommended it to many others and will continue to do so. (Posted over a month ago)

I received my Aero Garden as an early Mothers Day gift from my Mom. I had mentioned to her how much I loved fresh herbs and wanted to start my own herb garden. I can't stand buying over priced, packaged herbs from the grocery store, only to have to throw them away a day or two after I get them! I have to comment first on how incredibly easy the set up was. Anyone can do it! The instructions are very clear and very straight forward. You don't need any special tools or a degree in structural engineering to put it together. LOL! I just started my herbs today so I'm looking forward to seeing how they do over the coarse of the next month. My only concern is that it is highly recommended that you NOT use well water or softened water. I live in the country and all I have access to is well water. I do however have a hard water tap, so I used that and I'm hoping for the best. If it doesn't work out I guess I will have to buy distilled water at the store. But so far, that's the only negative that I can forsee. From what I can tell so far, this is the perfect product for those who love fresh herbs, veggies and flowers! Especailly for those of us who live in cooler climates. This makes having fresh herbs and veggies anytime of year a snap. (Posted over a month ago)

My basil is growing wild! We have to eat faster! I get enough herbs to use on a daily basis from all of the plants. It's a neat looking unit - a conversation starter. Everyone who sees it comments on it. I like to chop some off every day and eat it on top of whatever we have that day. Herbs are great antioxidants. And I like that I can grow my own herbs in Fairbanks, Alaska when it's minus 60 degrees below zero and the sun is gone for months! (Posted over a month ago)

We started our first garden on Jan 23, 2009 with cherry tomatoes and have been eating them for 2 weeks now. Great tasting, fun to have fresh tomatoes at this time of year where we live. Now we are starting our herbs, and just ordered our 2nd garden so we can enjoy herbs and salad greens at the same time. Also gave the 3 pod to my mom for Valentine's day, she loves her beautiful flowers. (Posted over a month ago)

I have two Aero Gardens and hope soon to have three. One is for herbs and the other is for tomatoes, this is my first attempt for tomatoes and I was impressed.My family and friends have enjoyed watching the plants develope to where they are today. What I like about my garden there is very little work involved except for plant care. My plants have many tomatoes on them with different stages of ripeness. I started the garden during the first week of Jan.2009 and are ready to start enjoying the tomatoes. When this garden is done, there will be another !! (Posted over a month ago)

I have wanted on for a while, but I am such a sceptic. I saved for a while I finally broke down when I found the original classic on sale at a department store.......and now I REALY WANT another one.

My herbs have been growing since December 25, 2008. I enjoy everything about it. I am so amazed at how the herbs continue growing from just one pod. I have tried for years to grow herbs indoors, with no success. I'm now able to incorporate my herbs into everyday cooking. I can find so many meals to add the herbs to while using less salt.

I have been looking at this item for quite some time and I finally broke down and bought one. I am very happy I made the right choice. My herb garden is about 3 weeks old and I enjoy watching the little plants thrive. Doesn't matter how old you are, you still get enjoyment out of watching the plants grow. This unit tells you when to water, when to add the nutrients and it couldn't be easier. Buy one, you won't be disappoined. (Posted over a month ago)

I am a college student and received this as a Christmas gift. Its been 4 months now and I am still on my herbs, its great, just can't wait to start growing some peppers. I even have a small kitchen and have no problems what so ever with my AeroGarden. I think its a great gift for anyone that enjoys cooking, and it really does work believe me it does, you barely have to do anything to make your plants grow. Only thing I would wish for is a longer telescoping light my basil grows to much and too quickly, but its okay I just get use basil frivolously... Buy It Trust Me Its Worth It!

The ongoing inconstancy in food safety along with cutting costs and a want for minimal time brought my researching to this product. (hate bugs too!) Herbs were easy, tablets every 2 weeks and snipping the plants 1 or 2 times a week! Salad mix unbelievably the same! Customer Service has been REMARKABLE in answering questions or needs I may have had. I feel very confident, safe and am enjoying HEALTHY tasting and looking results. Quality product!Moving up the gardening ladder to growing Romaine lettuce next. Tomatoes may follow. Asked for this at Christmas and bought one myself the following month.FYI: The skeptic in me bought herb seeds, planted in terra cotta pots along side the aerogardens to compare the difference. Results were: weak, slow growing, high maintenance unrewarding results even with plant food. Fluctuations strong if not attended to daily. After 3 months they have still not reached height nor sturdiness of aerogarden plants in just a few weeks. Hope this helps. (Posted over a month ago)

It is easy to use and it is not messy for a small or large area. I did not have to spend a lot of time tending it and i had good results. I pulled it out of the box and inserted the plants. I filled the garden with water and nutrients. It grew quicly and my family loved the herbs in our food. My husband has to watch his salt intake and it added flavor to food without salt.

This product is great. It was easy to set up (kids and their dad did it). It started growing fast and the kids loved watching how much it would grow each day. The herbs were great. One complaint is the chives were think and we grew thick ones over the summer so wish were larger variety. But, everything was great. We are purchasing more pods now to start the next items we want to grow. It would be great if you could choose to buy individual seed pods instead of kits.. pick your pods per say. This is a great product and works well. I would suggest it for anyone. (Posted over a month ago)

The most difficult thing about the aerogarden is taking it out of the box! I am one of those that moves a lot. I would have saved the packing if I had any thought I could repackage this item for moving but I highly doubt it can be done. This I consider a marvel as it shows us the consumer that there is great attention to detail. This sucker is really packed well-lol!Admittedly, there have been minor problems (real ones) with it. These are immediately resolved either by looking at the booklet that comes with each and every kit or, by calling customer service. The customer service representatives are incredibly knowledgable not only about the unit itself, but about growing in general. They have helped me immensely through the years I have owned this unit.I do grow things outside on my small deck during the growing season and some of those plants begin life in my aerogarden. I always use my aerogarden to supplement during the growing season so it is never 'off'. It is essential to me during the seasons that growing is impossible outdoors. I would recommend this product for anyone considering it. (Posted over a month ago)

I love fresh herbs in my cooking but hate to buy packages at the store and throw 90% away. Using Aerogarden allows me to use only what I need at the time and keep the rest fresh and on the stalk until I need it. It's very difficult for me to grow my own herbs outside in the garden due to the hot climate here in lower Alabama. The only way would be in a small window unit with messy dirt and a lot of fuss. There is no fuss with the Aerogarden! Salads rot in the bag because I can't eat all of it in time. With Aerogarden I can trim just enough greens to make a small salad and keep the rest fresh in the garden for the next salad. It's the most wonderful invention for a single person I've ever seen. Again, in lower Alabama growing lettuce is a laugh. It can burn up in a day with this weather. And even if it isn't burned, it's big and tough! The Aerogarden keeps everything sweet and tender.

I got this AeroGarden for my husband for Christmas so he could grow cherry tomatoes. It is now March and the plants are covered in blossoms and new tomatoes. The yellow tomatoes are doing the best.

We started tomato seeds on 2/27/09 and they were up by 2/29/09... we couldn't believe it! They're over 3 inches high now and it's only been 11 days! We planted seed in dirt the day after and they just started to poke out of the dirt. What a difference Aero Garden makes! (Posted over a month ago)

Wow I got results instantly for a plant that failed to thrive in soil or peat. Not sure about fruiting yet has to get really hot but at least I got a root and plant this year. Didn't have to worry about ph for soil either. I will be starting up the next batch of plants in about 3-4 weeks when I can safely transplant these guys into pots and put them outside in the sun. Still not above 60 degrees here yet. (Posted over a month ago)

This is so great to have. I do alot of cooking and I sure get tried going to the store for fresh herbs Tomatos, peppers, an lettuce. I cook all the time and I do like fresh things you cannot get any better stuff then fresh, and you pick it when you need it, and it keep growing on an on. Now there one thing and it is not a big deal but it can help people in apartment living . I had to fined a right time to set the lights to go off so I can sleep at night. Because it was was getting me up at night if you are a person has to have it dark then do this. when you are starting for the first time or. another set of what ever you are growing set the time to start growing at 7 AM it will grow 16 hours then the light will go off at 11PM so you can sleep then it will start 8 hrs later at 7 AM again. If you are growing Tomato they needs time to sleep and it well sleep 8 hrs. And if I didnt say, I do have 2 AreoGradens one is the Space sever 6 as well. And no you do not need a green thumb. And one other thing were I live it get very hot here and this is great for growing in the home. It is a GREAT GARDEN. (Posted over a month ago)

The comparison of fresh herb flavor versus dried and/or bottled herbs in preparing any dish cannot be overstated enough. Just try comparing the smell of a live rose to an aerosal rose spray - it's the same with fresh versus bottled herbs. (Posted over a month ago)

After a lifetime in California it was a real hardship when we moved and could only grow herbs during the spring and summer. The winter freeze killed everything off our first year here in the high desert region. The aerogarden allowed me to get back to cooking with fresh herbs year round. I adore this device. I found out how indispensible it is when I cleaned it up in preparation to use the seed starter kit so that when the winter frosts are over I will have a head start planting my lavender outdoors. One week without fresh herbs and I purchased my second aero garden so I can get another herb kit started pronto. I'm sure I could live without it but I don't ever want to try.

Review by Fresh Veggie Lover.

I received my AeroGrow a few years ago, for Christmas. I love it! I was so spoiled living in California all my life, that when I had to move the Pacific Northwest, I experienced major fresh veggie withdrawals! They only have farmers markets up here for a few months out of the year. The AeroGrow has kept me supplied with fresh salad greens, herbs, and other goodies, during those gray months when nothing grown in America is available. I've been into the idea of eating local food, and you can't get much more local than your own kitchen! The unit is very easy to use, and so much fun to have around the house. It's very quiet and unobtrusive. There is nothing I'd do to improve it, except maybe see if they would develop "skins" for the unit when I tire of the color. (Posted over a month ago)

It took me about 35 minutes to set up my garden after my husband brought it in. In snow and high altitude I can still have a garden. I can eat what I grow for healthier meals.

Received my AeroGarden as an early Christmas present from my Mom. I cook with fresh herbs all the time and love having them available in my AeroGarden. I am very pleased with this product so far. I also love to garden! Just ordered a seed starter for it so I'll let you know how that goes. It's critical to desert gardening to be able to start seeds successfully indoors for a number of plants. Can't wait to see how much easier it will be with my AeroGarden!! (Posted over a month ago)

I ordered this because I like 'fresh'everything, especially for my birds. I can't have anything with fertilizer or pesticides on it because the birds sample everything. I planted 41 days ago and already it looks like the picture. I have used the basil and dill. Of course since I told the birds (6) they could taste, so far they haven't! I have! I have one with flowers also just started. I bought one for my mother and today I am ordering one for a friend. Thank you for this product. Next time I am ordering one for my office, hum.... maybe I should order that today since I am ordering anyway! (Posted over a month ago)

Windowsills are too cold in the great icebox of the north to get herbs to grow. This system has "foolproof" written all over it - and, hey, I thought - thats for me!! This had Basil sprouted in 24 hrs and now on day 8 everything is GROWING except the dill, which has not yet sprouted. The chives nearly sprang up from germinated to 3" high in a 36 hours! Super easy to set up and it does it all itself. This model has more "idiot" lights on it than the space saver so I opted for this one and just love it. We are excited to see how fast things grow and can't wait to be able to eat our fresh herbs. I want one for my office now! (Posted over a month ago)

I absolutely love my aerogarden. I was so excited when it arrived and could not wait to put it together. It's only been together for a week, but my cherry tomatoes and jalapenos have already begun to sprout.

I have another aerogarden on order and simply can't wait to get that one going as well. (Posted over a month ago)

I got my Aero Garden for Christmas, and I'm already thrilled with it! I live in a house that doesn't have good light for growing indoor plants, and with no space for an outdoor garden, and I've really missed watching things grow and harvesting my own herbs for my table. The set up was simple, and it fits nicely on my dining room counter. The seeds have practically jumped out of the pods, they're growing so fast...you can almost see the plants growing hour by hour. I like being able to set the time for the lights to go off each night, and I especially like the reminder lights for water and nutrients. I'm planning to buy a second unit later this year, so I can grow some cherry tomatoes to go with my herbs, and I'm thinking seriously of giving one to my dad for Christmas next year.

It is so effortless to set up and use. It is a beautiful piece that sits on a baker's rack in my kitchen/dining area.

The herbs are coming up as promised and they look healthy. The pump is so quiet I have to look under the hood with a flashlight to make sure it is running.

I got this as a gift for my boyfriend who enjoys technology and gardening (could there be a more perfect gift for him?). He really loves his Aerogarden. He started it up almost 4 weeks ago and the little plants are coming along nicely. It's really fun to watch the daily differences in growth! My only complaint was that one of the bulbs blew out right away[...]. I can't wait to start harvesting my herbs! It's awesome to have fresh, home-grown herbs in January in Philadelphia!I recommend Aerogardens to people who cook on a regular basis. It's worthwhile to harvest herbs right from in my home rather than go out to the store and get herbs that have been shipped all over creation. I also recommend this to people with kids because it could be a great educational opportunity (not only for the plant growth, but how to use the herbs for cooking). Good product. We enjoy it.

Only had it since Christmas and have started cherry tomaotes first. The room where it sits needs to be very warm! We keep our home cooler than 80 degrees, so I had to put a blanket over the hood and sides so the heat stays in. I planted the tomatoes and it took almost 2 weeks to sprout. Once I added the blanket cover, the plants took off. Maybe they will design a cover for it so everyone can take advantage of this.... (Posted over a month ago)

I bought my first garden last month as a Christmas present to me from my husband. I have tried to grow herbs and vegtables for years but I have a dark brown thumb! Never would ever grow. My basil from my first is already growing larger in 2 weeks then anything I have tried to grow inside or outside before. My kitchen is now full of sunlight which I love with our long winters. I love it so much that I just went out and bought another. I am going to save the herb kit that came with it and have just ordered the large salad greens seed kit. If that does half as well as my herbs are doing I will be very happy. So now I will have both herbs and salad greens and even more sunlight. If you get the winter blahs, buy a garden. It will really help. (Posted over a month ago)

When I first saw the AeroGarden, I thought to myself "what a great idea!". Then I got one as a Christams gift last year. I grew herbs like I never could outside. Pests and weather made it disapointing. And never needing to leave the house for my herbs while cooking was great! Not to mention that they are clean and free of bugs! Now I'm growing tomatoes in my AeroGarden, and I have never seen such healthy plants! I'm planning to purchase 2 more so I can start my seeds for spring garden, and also some Basil to go with my tomatoes! Thank you for a wonderful product! (Posted over a month ago)

Review by Hummingbird Haven

I only have one of these little beauties, but I forsee a tower of them in the corner of my dining room in the future! I bought the aerogarden because I love to attract the hummingbirds to my yard. The best way to assure that I have my share of these angelic creatures is to have an early flowering paradise to attract them as they migrate up from farther south in the early spring. Last year, I planted seedlings, kept them under a warm light in my shed, protected somewhat from the winter cold, but found that I just didn't have room to handle a big bulky try of seedlings and besides, when spring came, they still weren't ready to bloom! I planted my little seedlings in my flower beds and had to use a magnifying glass to find them. I don't think it helped the hummers a bit. This year, I planted my seedlings in the warmth of my dining room in late December (I didn't have to walk outside in the cold to my shed to tend to them). The seed packets said "14-21 day germination" Unbelievable - mine were sprouted in THREE days!!! It's been four weeks and some are actually ready to be transplanted to pots and will undoubtedly be much more substantial than my results the previous year. The problem now - I'm having to wait to plant my herbs and my tomatoes until I get my seedlings finished . . . need more aerogardens! (Posted over a month ago)

My plants have taken a little while to flourish. I think they would have been faster to grow and a little more healthy had the user manual and troubleshooting section discussed the signs of water that has a too high mineral content. I live very close to Dallas and am on city water, but apparently the mineral content is still too high as my seedlings turned yellow at the end of the 1st month. Luckily, an email arrived from Aerogarden that mentioned this could be caused by the water. Now I'm using distilled water that I buy at the store. During the spring, summer and fall I will be using rainwater. So hopefully this problem doesn't occur again. This didn't happen when I planted flowers only when I planted herbs. But I still love the product because now I am actively using herbs in my cooking. I'll look at my plants and think they need trimming so I figure a way to use them in the meal that evening. *smiles* As a result my family is eating a little more healthy and I'm cooking more. A win-win situation! (Posted over a month ago)

I'm a vegetarian that prefers to eat as clean as possible, but I don't like buying "organic" fruits/vegetables in the store as they don't look very good.I do love many varieties of fresh fruits, vegetables and herbs to use in cooking, so I can keep my foods flavorful yet salt free as I never use salt. I'm looking forward to using the herb kit to grow fresh herbs in my kitchen to use in my cooking. I honestly think this is one of the best tools any kitchen should have to be able to grow fresh tomatoes and lettuce, and herbs as I live in the Northeast US and by September, these items are out of season, and in the grocery stores, they look terrible as they have to be shipped in. It's also great to start spring gardens and get a head start on your outdoor garden. (Posted over a month ago)

I started with herbs and got nearly 7 months of wonderful selections of herbs. Next came the salad greens and that went on for nearly 4 months and they were so tasty and tender. It's now December 25th in Montana and I'm planting my cherry tomatoes today! Can't wait to do the taste test with what I normally plant in my June 1st garden. (Posted over a month ago)

I have been wanting to start my outside gardening again, but hesitated because of all the manual labor. I bought the Aerogarden and was estatic. It is great. I rather use this than tilling dirt. I pinch the growing herbs and eat it right off the setup, stems and all. It so delicious and tender. I cannot wait to purchase more Aerogardens. However, my mint, which was on the end was a slow grower until I rearranged it with my italian basil to help it grow faster. When it got taller I rearranged it back. I do not know why it did not grow because all of the other herbs were growning beautifully. (Posted over a month ago)

As soon as I got this, the first thing I started to grow was the salad greens kit that came with it. I was shocked to find them immediately sprouting in about 3 days! I didn't have a very green thumb before I got the aerogarden... now I can grow anything!!! So far I have grown the salad greens, and a variety of flowers when I don't feel like planting veggies. It's really great, and all of my friends are so enthused when they see it in my apt. The only bad thing about this I can think of is the calcium buildup/deposits from the water. It didn't happen with the greens, but when I grew my own flowers (using the master gardening kit) there was a lot of buildup around the unused holes. I think it's because I should have covered the unused holes. It caused annoying cleanup just about every day, but I think the next time I grow something I will buy those covers for it.

It doesn't get any better than this! It tells you what to do and when to do it by the use of lights. The only things you need to do are (1) watch the lights and add water/neutrients.

We've tried lots of ways to garden on the balcony of our Miami condo and always would up with soil flying, plants burning in the sun, or our dog, Tinky, mistaking the garden for her garden--if you know what I mean. Hours of labor and many dollars used to blow away in the wind. Problem solved. Aero Garden thrives on our counter--herbs galore-the invention works and the dog can't reach it. Food tastes great and looks wonderful with a fresh herb or two on top for presentation. We've turned our former herb garden into a mini park for the pet and we all live happily forever!!!

I ordered 3 kits for my homeschooled son's biology study. We were so excited when they came, we planted them right away. My son loved checking on them several times a day to see how fast they grew. He is funny because he gives them a pep talk every day, telling them how pretty they are, how fast they are growing, and how much he appreciates them. The salad kit sprouted in a couple of days, but died a few days later. I called customer service and got a new kit quickly. She suggested using distilled water instead of tap water. That worked great. Makes you wonder what's in the tap water. We had fresh salads every other day for months. My other son picked leaves off as he watched TV. Beats snacking on potato chips! Some of the herbs did not sprout in our first kit, so he was disappointed by that. The second is doing great, however. I love my arugula kit. I can't keep my hands off. Every time I go past, I snip a few leaves to chew on. They needed distilled water, too at first. Once they were established, the tap water works just fine. When my daughter was here for the holidays, she and her hubby fell in love with the system. They took one home with them. Now, I am hoping Santa will bring me another one - maybe the Pro 200? My homeschooler wants to grow tomatoes and peas. (Posted over a month ago)

If you are living with a disability and it is difficult to get outside and do the hard work that gardening requires, this product is a joy to have. Because you don't have to bend, it makes it attractive for those of us with arthritic joints.

I'm not using my herbs for cooking at the present time but I make a plaque in which I need impressions of leaves and such in a product I make. Living in an area where greens are frosted off after September 15th and spring doesn't return until June ... I'd have to resort to buying herbs each week from the grocer, or what ever I can make do. This works great plus it's fun watching the plants grow. Doing much better than I thought they would. It's also created an egolical system in that we have these little ladybug like bugs that were planted in our area to take care of another not so nice bug however a few have found their way into my home this fall as is the norm ... and guess what they like ... the Aerogrow garden too! That I don't appreciate to much, so they are captured and released again outside since they are a good bug! Over all I LOVE IT!

I had no problem setting the garden up. Didn't even need to use the instruction booklet! I like how it fits on my bookshelves, neat and bright and fits my home theme.

I saw this advertised last Christmas and said to my husband, "THAT's what I want for Christmas, and here's a coupon." It was the best present I've ever gotten. We live in New England, where winters are long and dark. I had light and green and fresh herbs, right here in my kitchen the whole winter long! In the spring, we replaced the herbs with cascading petunias that filled the kitchen with color. Tonight, we replanted it with herbs again, and I thanked my husband again for the gift. No one comes into our house without remarking on the AeroGarden. I'm like a kid, taking sheer pleasure in the wonder of gardening--in my kitchen, even when the whole world is frozen outside!

We have very very short growing seasons here. I am loving the fact that I have fresh lettuce for my lunch sandwiches every day. The real treat for me will be trying the seed starting kit. I have wanted to grow watermelons for a few years now but our growing season is too short and melons turn out stunted and frequently never ripen. The other problem with a short season is that just when plants are starting to look their best, it snows and they die. I want to get my garden started early this coming spring and have them well on their way before planting outside. I just ordered the romaine kit and excited to have this growing during the winter!! I was amazed at how fast my salad greens kit grew. They were all germinating in 48 hours and all 7 pods are producing a plenty! I'm looking forward to the romaine doing the same.

It is snowing outside and I have fresh herbs germinating in my kitchen! I love the aerogarden. The herbs germinated at different times, but within the interval on the label. I just wish I could buy individual pods, rather than a kit, or a modifiable kit. I don't use chives much (they come with the kit). I would like a kit with cilantro and rosemary, but it is not available. The chosen combination has a lot of visual appeal, even if it does not match my cooking demands 100%.

I purchased 3 classic aerogardens as part of the 3 garden wall farm about 9 months ago. This allowed me to get the 3 shelf wall garden for free. I could not be more happy. Having the 3 gardens allows me to grow herbs, lettuce, and veggies all at the same time. The unit is a wonderful conversation piece. Everyone who comes to our house comments on it. We are eating so much healthier now. I strongly recommend not just buying one aerogarden, but the full wall garden. Trust me, if you buy only one, you are quickly going to be wishing you had another. It's a great bargain when you buy the 3 together and the shelf allows you to keep your kitchen counter space. I have always wanted an outdoor garden, but just have not had the time for much more than a few herbs. These gardens are so easy to take care of. I have no problems keeping up with them. I already can't imagine being without them. Customer service is wonderful as well. They really stand behind their product. I just can't say enough good things about the whole system. I definitely strongly recommend this product. (Posted over a month ago)

Very easy to use. I only wish that when you first order it, the free set of pods were ones that you could choose (instead of the default herbs of which I only tended to use 3 out of the 7). I liked the fact that you specify which types of plants you are trying to grow to personalize water and lighting needs but that does limit you on the ability to mix things like salad greens with herbs in your garden. I ended up having to buy an Aero3 to grow my herbs and took out the herbs from my Aero7 to replace it with salad greens. Although I have a big countertop, I did find that it took up quite a bit of space so for those with smaller counters (or pets that jump on counters to get to your plants), I would recommend a stand.

We recieved a garden for Chistmas two years ago and immediately purchased a second one. We have been very pleased with the items that we have planted to give us a touch of springtime during the cold winter months. One of our favorites was the package of roses that we enjoyed this past winter. When it was warm enough we put them on the patio in a planter and still enjoy them. We currently have red and white roses blooming on the 18 inch bushes. Another favorite was the cherry tomatoes that we planted last year. When warm enough; they too were planted outside. This year we have nice sized plants full of tomatoes that were left in the ground and surprised us with their comeback. The gardens have been one of our most treasured purchases that we have made.

I bought my Aerogarden about 5 months ago and have been growing the International Basil kit. My results re not perfect, but they are good and the different varieties of Basil are delicious. Like any product, is has its pros & cons. Fewer cons, so I will begin with those;The cord is a bit short and the light is quite bright. (My husband insists it could be seen from space.) Keep it out of bedroom sightlines and it will be fine.The replacement kits are a bit expensive as are the bulbs. Every single plant does not grow equally well.But the PROS far outweigh the cons for me.First and foremost, it is designed for ease of use, and it really is very easy. Seeds are already in the pods and the plant food is in tablets, which means it is pre-measured. Plus, the machine has very noticeable blinking red lights, to remind you when to water & feed. And the plants germinate more quickly that they do in pots.Next, many people complain that the machine is kind of expensive. Well, I have actually shopped around and hydroponics systems really are expensive. And in most cases, the lighting is sold separately. BTW, all of the bulbs for these systems are expensive. So when compared to other systems with lighting, this one is relatively cheap.If you order by phone, from Aeerogrow, they will substitute another seed kit, if you do not want the Gourmet Herb Kit.Finally, it is just plain fun to have delicious herbs at my disposal whenever I want them. They find their way into pasta, omelettes, sandwiches, etc., on a daily basis. And since my house does not get much natural light, this added light is welcome. (Posted over a month ago)

I love to garden outdoors, unfortunately, the summer heat and sandy dirt in Myrtle Beach does not allow my garden to produce well. My first kit was herbs, and they produced like crazy! I love cooking, and so I started putting the herbs in everything! I am now growing lettuce, and we are eating salads constantly. I can't wait to try cherry tomatoes, strawberries, other herbs, snow peas. . . I just think it is the best invention, and I use it daily! Not only does it produce well, it also gives great light in the kitchen, and no bugs or critters eat my produce like outdoors! I think it is amazing and just love it! I am hoping that my fiance will buy me another one for Christmas this year, so I can have more than 1 thing growing at a time! (Posted over a month ago)

I got the AeroGarden because I live in Florida and it is too hot and humid to grow many herbs, especially in the summer. In addition, I live in an apartment, so there is not enough space on my patio for all the herbs I want. This gives me the control of light, temperature and water and I know they are clean and pest and pesticide free. One note of caution, though. Be sure to keep watching the water level. Especially once the herbs begin to grow, you must add water every couple of days. (Posted over a month ago)

I bought two at the same time. One for lettuce and one for tomatoes. The veggies are there and convienient to use and they don't spoil in my fridge!! Everyone who comes over wants to find out about how the veggies grow;they peek under the grow surface and check out the root systems. I am a science teacher, so I use the AeroGardens as a teaching opportunity. My AeroGardens are in my kitchen and I don't even bother turning on lights in the kitchen any more because the grow lights provide sufficient illumination. I am very sad that one of my lettuce pods was not viable. (Posted over a month ago)

I am a wonderful Computer Tech, but a lousy cook and gardener. I can kill a plant faster than anyone I know. Vegetables??? Forget it. I have never been able to keep anything alive. Until the AeroGrow. What a wonderful product. I started with the salad greens kits and enjoyed the most wonderful salads I have ever had. I was so pleased that I bought a second AeroGrow and started growing tomatoes, they are the sweetest tasting. I ended up buying a third AeroGrow and started growing snow peas. I come home from work and get a bowl and fork and pick a salad, that is growing right in my kitchen, fresh. No Bugs, No Pesticides. I have to admit that I haven't tried to grow the herb kits, but thats because, like I said, I'm a lousy cook and I don't know what to do with them. I just can't blame my AeroGrows for that. This is a fantastic product. I also want to say that this product is rare in the fact that for once, I found a product that will Actually work and do everything as advertised, you don't find a lot of that today.

It's so nice to have fresh herbs and lettuce, right at my elbow, as I cook. I've found I can stretch the growing season even longer than they suggest and with two I can have all my favorites continuously on hand. The down side; I'm starting to wonder, is three being excessive? Even though I live in the country and have a large vegetable and a large herb garden out back, the ease of no weeds or pests, not having to wash and dry my herbs before chopping, and lettuce even in hot October, is too nice to resist.

I purchased the basic AeroGarden with a salad greens kit at my local [...]. Although it was quick and easy to set up, the pump became excessively noisy almost immediately. The troubleshooting guide on the website, which was very detailed, did not help, so I contacted customer service. I was pleasantly surprised to be greeted by a live operator, who immediately rectified the situation to my satisfaction. In addition, the seed kit (also purchased retail) did not sprout properly, and that was expeditiously handled with no questions asked; their guaranteed to grow assurance is accurate. My unit is now in good working order, and is growing batches of lettuce. Any company can suffer a product failure. AeroGrow impressed me with their rapid problem resolution. Since then, I've purchased an AeroGarden Pro 100, and love them both. (Posted over a month ago)

It's convenient, space-efficient, and low-maintenance. I use my AeroGarden to keep a ready supply of herbs I typically use in cooking. I like the flexibility of being able to design my own plantings and will enjoy being able to keep salad greens in the kitchen throughout the winter once I transplant the herbs. I had less luck with the garden starter tray, but that may have been due more to inexperience than to any design defect - I'll let you know next year. (Posted over a month ago)

I really like the how things grow. Very natural, nice to pick what I need. I am going to downsize or reorganize though, I just don't use that many herbs. I have had a lot of fun with my first crops. I bought two and I am glad that I did. I am thinking of growing strawberries next for winter time.

So far I've grown herbs and salads in my Aerogarden and I couldn't be more pleased with the results! I grow my herbs outside during the summer months and the salads in my Aerogarden. Then during the winter I use the Aerogarden to grow the herbs. I use fresh herbs daily, so this gives me year round harvesting! I definitely plan on purchasing more Aerogardens in the future and have become an official spokesperson for the company to friends and family. The great thing about the company is they listen to their customers and are always coming out with improvements and great new ideas. Not to mention the seed varieties. (Posted over a month ago)

I bought my first AeroGarden in Nov. 2006 for my mother. She was 92, was recovering from a stroke, and couldn't do the things she could before, like read, crossword puzzles, etc. It was grey and dreary out, and she was bored and depressed. I set it up and planted tomatoes. Everyone at assisted living was excited. People started visiting her to see the garden. She loved it. She and her 90-yr.-old sister enjoyed the tomatoes for 2-3 months, eating them one at a time. I bought 3 other Aerogardens, one for my husband (hot peppers -- they're beautiful and prolific), one for my office (people touring our lab came by to see the lettuces) and another at home for herbs. I'm sold on them. I even bought the Master Gardener Kit, to raise my own seeds. I've also substituted other herbs for ones in the herb kit that I didn't care for (the dill and cilantro didn't do very well). I have nothing but praise for customer service; they've come through every time. My mother has the Flower Bouquet kit, now. We'll try roses, next, maybe. (Posted over a month ago)

I'm an experienced gardener, but I love being able to grow things hydroponically and to be able to pick my produce when I want it. It's fast, easy to do and fun! The drawbacks as I see them are that the inside tends to get quite dirty and it's a bit cumbersome, not to mention labor intensive to take the thing apart to clean. I have the classic version, but I really wish I had received the Pro 200 because of the additional light, the longer arm and the ability to secure taller plants. I love this so much, I wish I had a couple more of them! (Posted over a month ago)

My family has used our Aerogarden for growing herbs (usually all different kinds, since we've tried out the various packs). We've found that once the herbs get growing, there's nothing greater to have sitting around the kitchen. Sometimes we can't even use them fast enough! As for down sides...well...it doesn't have a "large" footprint, but if it's on the counter than it can block your view since it can get pretty tall. Which, in my opinion, is a trade-off more than worthwhile to have fresh and fast-growing herbs in the kitchen. Heck, you could even solve that problem by stashing it in a corner since it has its own light....Overall, a very good product to have! (Posted over a month ago)

I have grown the lettuce and now have herbs growing. The idea of freshly picked herbs to use in cooking is wonderful and adds a tasty zip to meals. You do not have to be concerned about storage or spoilage as you would if you bought then at the store. The best thing is they are FRESH and at the peak of flavor. They are very easy to grow just pop them in their place. The garden reminds you when to water and feed. Can't ask for anything easier. (Posted over a month ago)

The AeroGarden is a must-have in my kitchen. Not only have I had complements on how "cute" it looks on my kitchen counter, but it serves an important part of my vegan diet. Since I eat mostly fruits, vegetables, and whole grains, I use alot of herbs and seasonings for flavor. I only eat whole foods so the AeroGarden is perfect for providing for my herbs and also a good source for lettuce. I also eat mostly organic whenever I can find it which in my area is most of the time so again the AeroGarden provides me with organic produce. I love my AeroGarden.

I saw the AeroGarden as part of a survey that I took. I loved the idea and was so excited when my parents said they bought one. I have a "brown thumb" when it comes to growing things.I was so excited about the machine, that my parents got me and my sister one (the herb garden). Herbs are great but I likes me the vegetables!I got a phone call from a wonderful lady and she offered me one for [$] I chose the "Salsa Garden". I have 4 healthy tomato shoots and 2 very fast growing pepper plants. The other Tomato plant is lagging a bit. My sister is a botanist and says that the slow growing plants make the best vegies so we shall see.If I had to ask for improvements I'd like to see some sort of connection to a computer, tracking actual numbers that sort of thing and please please Mauve lights (those light purple ones). Those white lights are great but them suckers is BRIGHT!I live in a studio apartment and I need to hang up a blanket to block the light.In September I am moving to a larger apartment and my sister is going to give me her (our) birthday AeroGarden so I will have two! One in each corner of the living room. No more troubles with the bright lights.Just one last improvement if I may, add chives to the "Salsa Garden" it needs an onion for most of the recipes so why not add it to the grow? Oh and get to work on that tea garden! If that comes out my sister won't give me her machine but that's okay.I think I will get the [$] one, I'd like to grow some mint and strawberries!

I purchased my Aerogarden several years ago so that I could have blooming flowers all the time at work and to provide some much needed spring for our long winters (I live in Alaska). The petunias have been glorious every time and last much longer than anticipated. Over the years people have always been interested in what has been growing in the garden and everything about the garden - many have gone out and bought their own and now they come tell me their stories of success. (A Co-worker across the hall has several.) I have even transplanted my petunias for a glorious basket where everyone asked me at which green house did I purchase it. Not shortly after my first purchase, I bought one for home, especially since good produce is hard to find. I have grown everything from lettuce to tomatoes. Recently, a co-worker bought the herb kit to grow in my garden at work and we all shared in the spoils (love the basil). My next adventure is going to be dwarf sweat peas with my Master Gardner kit. Aerogarden is easy to use, educational, a great morale booster for my windowless office, and has all the rewards of watching the plants grow, and so much more. Now there are so many more types and versions to meet everyones various tastes and needs. Thank you all for giving me such a great gift! (Posted over a month ago)

We got our Classic two years ago, and were so impressed that within two months we had a second one. By having two we are able to grow a variety of lettuce in one, and tomatoes in the other - it's like having a mini salad bar in the kitchen! Now we are in the process of upgrading one to the Deluxe version, adding the extra height that our tomatoes seem to want. If this works out as well as we hope we'll be upgrading the second as well! Our only problem is a lack of space. We'd really like to get a third Deluxe unit to grow herbs at the same time as the salad stuff, but we don't have the space and can't take advantage of the wall rack due to other constraints. However, I'm sure we'll figure out a way to accommodate the third one sooner or later (hopefully sooner!) Besides the joy of having really fresh salad ingredients in the winter (instead of the tasteless lettuce and no-taste tomatoes from the grocery stores), it is a true treat to watch how quickly the new seed pods sprout and grow. Once they get going the change is noticeable even over the short time we are gone to work during the day. You'd not think that it would be observable in that short a time, but it is; it's almost like magic watching this garden grow. We still have our outside garden during the growing season, but even if we have to give that up for some reason we'll still have the opportunity to garden in the kitchen. This is one product that not only lives up to it's advertising claims, but goes several steps beyond. (Posted over a month ago)

I love this Garden. Since we moved to smaller property I don't have the luxury of my 1/2 acre garden. This is a fantastic product and it's so low maintenance: add water and nutrients every 2 weeks, that's it. I love having a fresh salad every day. Being able to snip herbs for dinner is a treat. And in winter fresh salad is wonderful. It's very cost effective with prices rising. I like knowing where my food comes from (I shop lots of local farm markets) and I can say my kitchen counter! I definitely plan to get a deluxe one for the winter to grow tomatoes and beans. This really is one of the best indoor gardening products I've ever seen and it's worth the price when you see how it grows and HOW MUCH it grows for you.

Saves on using the lamps in the house. My husband is almost blind and he enjoyes the automatic light. I have the timers set so they are lit during the night hours and off during the day. I am not sure where the others will go yet or if I will give 1 as a gift. (Posted over a month ago)

The unit fits quite nicely in a bay window above my kitchen sink. My only difficulty is having to almost climb up on the sink to harvest the herbs growing on the back side, near the light arm, as they are more than an arm's length. The hum is not loud, the timers work well; I do find, of course, that as the plants mature, I have to add water every other day or so to keep it above the fill level. I do want to get another unit, but I will get the independent stand to put it on, as I have no more room in the window. It will also make it easier to harvest from. (Posted over a month ago)

The product was so easy to assemble. Fits nicely on the counter. The herbs started growing withing 3 days of planting. We couldn't believe. It is exciting to check the aero garden and see how the herbs are doing (Posted over a month ago)

This attractive (black) model fit perfectly into a corner of my kitchen, which has a black/chrome design...it was very easy to setup, and noise free while operating...the light is quite bright and illuminates the kitchen at night (you may or may not appreciate that, but the timer can be set to work on your schedule) The Gourmet herb pack that came with the unit sprouted quickly and produced for 5 months..I'm just now ordering an Italian Herb seed kit. The only problem I had...what to do with the abundant harvest of continually growing herbs...you'll have fun with this practical kitchen addition. Guests commented on how "cool" it looked and the variety of herbs growing in the kitchen. (Posted over a month ago)

We love our Aerogrow! The kids love watching the seeds come out of the pods, and quickly grow to full sized items. A science lesson in your home! Each of the seed kits works wonderfully, providing your home with fresh herbs/lettuce (etc). Only downside is that my cupboards get in the way once the grow lights are at maximum- but the harvest is ongoing and bountiful! (Posted over a month ago)

I got my first AeroGarden about 2 years ago. At the time, I was living in a condo. I'd considered the idea of growing potted herbs on my deck, but I have what other reviewers have called a "brown thumb". I just can't keep plants alive! Also, I live in New England, so growing herbs outdoors is only feasible a few months out of every year. The AeroGarden is a godsend. It needs almost no care once you've planted your garden. Lights on the display blink to tell you when to add water (once every week or two) or the included nutrients (once every two weeks). The grow lights are on a timer, and it doesn't matter if you have the lights on during the night or during the day. I have the lights come on at night, so it's like having a night light in the kitchen (they're on top of my fridge). Now I've moved into a house where we have plenty of land for an outdoor garden. Well, it's still New England, and I still can't keep plants alive. So I now own THREE AeroGardens! Two are on top of my fridge, and the third is on our enclosed porch where I can use it 3 seasons out of the year. I have the Gourmet Herbs growing in one and the Cherry Tomatoes in another other. The third is at the end of it's harvest, and I'll bure using the Master Gardener kit to plant cilantro and some other herbs. There are a few things about the AeroGarden that could use improvement, but they're easily dealt with... If your pump stops working, but your lights still come on, you probably need to clean the pump. This is not difficult, per se, but it is a bit of a pain...especially if you have full plant growth when the pump stops. If you take the time to clean it pro-actively between plantings, you'll save yourself a lot of trouble. The instructions are on the web site under Support. There's a little magnetic float that determines the water level. Sometimes this gets flooded, so your add water light stays on even when it's full. Fill out the form on the AeroGarden web site and they'll send you a free replacement. It's pretty easy to change, and you can do it even while your garden's growing. (Posted over a month ago)

So far the only casualities have been the herbs we've plucked for our meals. I'm not sure how people agree to the price...I mean these herbs (our first batch) don't exactly shoot up over night, in fact we were patient and had to wait a couple weeks to pick...I think we'd have been able to spend 1/4 as much and bring home potted herbs from the greenhouse, but that's where the Aero design shines...plant maintenance is 0. Well, not exactly 0, you do have to refill the water and nutrients occasionally. So, as I described I'm on the fence. It has delivered as promised, but I think Aero's missing the point by plugging the speed of growth (4 out of 10) and not the maintainability (9 out of 10) of growth as their major strength.

I have bought four of the black Aego-Gardens. One for me and three for my daughters. We have enjoyed the process immensly. Watching the herbs grow and using them without having to go out into the garden for them is wonderful. One of my daughters is going to take hers to school next fall to show the children in her class! We all love our Instant gardens. (Posted over a month ago)

I purchased an AeroGarden. I ususally kill most plants I purchase, so I thought here I can have healthy plants and I can't kill them by over or under watering them or by giving them too little or too much sun. The AeroGarden signals when to add water and when to add nutients and gives the correct amount of light. My plants sprouted, grew and look great. I am pleased. (Posted over a month ago)

I'm new to gardening and this is my first AeroGarden. I've had it up and running for two weeks yesterday and it is behaving according to promises made about it by the company. I'm starting with mesclun mix and all the pods germinated within about two days. Now all the plants look like small whatever they are (mizuna or tatsoi, etc) and new baby leaves are already starting to grow so that I can see how one can harvest regularly and have a steady supply of salad. I guess the only downside, but unavoidable, is that one has to have multiple gardens to grow salad AND herbs AND tomatoes and all those gardens are going to take space. Anyway, I think it is a GREAT product and I'm glad I got it! (Posted over a month ago)

I own four Classic Aerogardens in white, and they are mounted on two of the original, tubular wall gardens (which I have to say were better looking than the current models). In the past year and a half, I have grown all sorts of herbs, peppers, lettuces, strawberries, and tomatoes, and while I love the novelty of the Aerogarden and the fact that they are great conversation starters, I think their actual usefulness is limited. In my opinion, they are best utilized as kitchen herb gardens, though not all the seed packages offered by Aerogrow work as well as others. Basil is clearly the best performer. A single Aerogarden can serve a family of two with an overabundance of fresh herbs all year around. A single Aerogarden of lettuce or tomatoes, however, is inadequate to generate the amount of produce needed to make salads on a regular basis. Generally, I can get one good-sized salad for two people every other week from them. Aerogardens might also be best utilized as seedling starters for outdoor gardens. I transplanted two mature cherry tomato plants from my Aerogardens into my community garden plot this year, and they are thriving! Outside, the plants produce much more than they do inside. Given all this, I'd have to say that Aerogardens are not a good choice if you desire self-sufficiency or sustainability (they do require a lot of energy to operate constantly and do not produce enough in return), but if what you want is a source of entertainment for yourself or education for your children or students, or even something simply ornamental, the Aerogarden is for you! Why buy an aquarium when you can have an Aerogarden? After all, most aquarium owners don't get to eat their fish, but Aerogardeners definitely can eat what grows in their "aeroquariums!"

I am growing cherry tomatoes and have never seen anything grow so fast. I have had to raise the grow lights twice in just a couple of weeks and my plants are flourishing and starting to blossom. I am guessing I'll have tomatoes very soon and what a thrill that will be. We are unable to grow much outdoors because deer eat anything tasty. Then there is dirt and outdoor insects to deal with. This aero garden is so clean, it is in the comfort of my airconditioned home, the plants are healthy, beautiful, clean and rapid growing. What could be better? (Posted over a month ago)

Review by The Mothers Day Gift

Rating

My daughter, purchased the AeroGarden for me as a Mother's Day present. My initial reaction was -- oh my gosh, here is another thing that I have to put together and figure out how to use -- so initially I viewed the AeroGarden as "more work for me to do." After it sat in the box for a few weeks, I took it out and started the process. If the instructions were followed to the letter, assembly was quite easy. It was interesting to hear the water gurgling as the "growth" process began. However, I am still somewhat apprehensive as to how the daily 16 hours of power usage is going to affect my electricity bill, especially in today's energy crisis and our need to invest in alternative energy methods. After killing a couple of tiny red things crawling on the surface during the first week, I have not noticed any other invading insects. As the tiny buds from the six herbs began to appear, the anticipation of a bountiful harvest began to swell within me. It has been six or seven weeks now. The parsley enhanced the flavor to fresh salads and even made Prego Spaghetti sauce taste better. The thyme, chives and dill were added to different recipes and the mint made a nice cup of tea on a Sunday afternoon. The herbs are still growing (especially the parsley) and they are being eagerly snipped and consumed. Maintenance has been low thus far since this is the first time it has been used -- you just add water and nutrients as indicated on the panel. In a nutshell, the AeroGarden was a very nice Mother's Day present and in the words of Mikey -- "I like it!" (Posted over a month ago)

This product is the savior of gardeners that can no longer garden outside for a variety of reasons. I am trying growing tomatoes and green beans in the same Aero Garden; with limited success. I figured that I would try it. I had better luck growing only one crop at a time; however lettuce with no tomatoes doesn't make a lot of sense. Next time, I will go back to the way it is designed to work. Perhaps someone at Aero Garden can develop a multi-crop system. (Posted over a month ago)

Three weeks before I recieved my Aerogarden, I planted a garden outside with the same herbs that came with my Aerogarden. My garden outside started coming up a couple of days before I received my Areogarden. The herbs in my Areogarden have been harvested three times. The herbs in my outside garden are struggling to survive. I highly recommend Aerogarden to anyone who lives in the desert! (Posted over a month ago)

The aerogarden is perfect for people who don't have a green thumb. My plants are beautiful and very productive. I have grown everything from peppers to herbs to salad greens to strawberries. All were huge successes. Before the aerogarden I could never get plants to grow in pots in my kitchen or during the short AK growing season outdoors. They are easy to use and take up very little space. My herb gardens produce so well that I have to give away herbs. (Posted over a month ago)

I bought my aero garden febuary 17 2008 and I love it. The whole thing was so easy to setup in my small apartment and the herb kit that came with it grew very fast the best thing about the itilian basil and the purple basil is that as it grew and got too large for the aero garden. I cut it back and put it into a clear glass and it rooted and kept growing like crazy. I have a bay window and the basil loves that spot. I have basile plants almost two and a half feet tall and the leaves are very large. I had so many basil plants in clear glasses I starting giving them to my family members and they were so impressed with how the aero garden performs they all want one now. I have unfiltered well water that provides lots of nutrients strait from the ground so this may not work for some people but it was worth every penny i paid for it can't wait to purchase another one.

I actually blogged about aerogarden and reviewed it in detail, here is a snipet from when I first rec'vd this............ I took mine out of the box yesterday and started assembling it, it was VERY EASY to put together. The instructions were clear and the assembly time was minimal. I did have one issue and that was the plastic "U" shaped piece on top of the arm must have broken off during shipping. We used super glue and put it back together rather than wait to have this set up (customer service closed on weekend). This seemed to "do the trick" for now but the CLICK noise was missing. The kit came with 7 different herbs Purple Basil Dill Parsley Cilantro Italian Basil Mint Chives I am thrilled to get this and REALLY want to try some other things with it! I am starting with the herbs and then will go from there. Will update with "lighting problem" results and more info as I go along, learning and growing with this NEW WAY to grow stuff indoors! I will use , harvest and dry my herbs as they grow (hopefully) and then go from there! NOW weeks later I can tell you I am thrilled with it! The replacement part is here and is in perfect condition and the herbs are all growing and it is almost time to prune and snip! I am a believer and cannot wait to try some of the other kits! YOU WILL LOVE THIS ! (Posted over a month ago)

This unit is real good for herbs and small plants. I am trying tomatoes now, and it not high enough for plants to grow. I have trimmed them three times, but they keep growing to the light and getting burned. I got this unit as a present and a herb kit which did real good. I think that all units should be the tall type that is adjustable up to 24 inches. I am thinking about ordering a Pro Unit. (Posted over a month ago)
