Tomatoes already??

I bought the cherry tomato pack for mine and have yet to grow the herb kit still. One month after I started and plugged this bad boy in, I had 6 inch plants almost ready to prune the tops off of.

A month after that I had over 20 yellow flowers peppered throughout the three plants.

Now at 3 months and a week, I have over 30 cherry tomatoes (still green, but HUGE and about to turn color) and another 30 flowers I just hand-pollinated (all you do is shake the plant or I just gently flick the flowers) and already drying up and have started falling off to make way for little tomato buds.

I have had to trim the plants of excess branches often, as they grow extremely quickly. Now that the plants are larger though, I have to water them every other day to keep the tank full. I like to keep it full so I don't hear the water trickling into the tank. Otherwise, I could probably get away with watering it once a week or so.

Timer keeps track of when the light turns on and off. Setting it was super simple. Instructions are so easy to follow they're almost condescending.

The garden IS a bit large and bulky, so make sure you have a good space for it. We keep it in our bedroom because of the lack of space in our kitchen. But the tomato plants are set for 8 hours of darkness, so it works out pretty perfectly.

The nutrient tablets melt, so keep them out of the sunlight. I like that you can remove the tank from the base, because if I had to move it all as one piece, I would throw out my back and freak out about breaking it, as the water makes it heavy and the lighting arm is a bit flimsy.

I really actually can't wait to get another one.

Nice little garden

My first produce I'm growing is cherry tomato's. So far they are growing like it is stated in the book. Looking forward to my first crop, LOL.

An excellent, interesting product!

I bought this as a gift for my boyfriend's 23rd birthday and he's extremely happy with it. The herbs have begun to grow and we can't wait to eat them!

I love this gizmo!

I bought my Aerogarden about 4 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. (Ways to save money- watch for store coupons and buy supplies from Amazon, when they have 4-for-3 special.)

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.

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.

For Basil Lovers

Truly a basil lovers dream. In the Gourmet Herb kit, the basil tends to overgrow everything else. But those other herbs are not as valuable in the kitchen. Yes it is nice to be able to clip a little parsley here and there as garnish. But mint, chives, oregano and dill are not as valuable to the cook as is fresh basil. The basil does really well in the AeroGarden and there is really no comparison between dried and fresh basil. So if you appreciate having fresh basil at your fingertips, you will certainly enjoy the AeroGarden.
