 Ordering a 2nd garden August 20, 2006
36 out of 37 found this review helpful
I am very happy with this garden so happy I am ordering a 2nd one. I planted salad greens just a week ago and the plants are growing so quick you can see the difference each day. I work a day time job so I have the light come on about the time I get home and stay on all night - that way it is almost like a second lamp and I can look and admire my plants as much as I want. It is fun watching them grow and I can't wait to harvest them. The salad green kit said that you can start harvesting in about 2.5 weeks, and at the rate these plants are growing I believe that to be true. I have tried growing fruits and vegatables indoors before but I never had much luck. The thought of being able to eat freshly picked food is enough to make me buy another garden. I can't wait for them to come out with the Strawberry seed pods (I will probably need a 3rd garden then).
I now had my first salad with the salad greens; it was so good I made a 2nd larger salad. I am very happy with this garden.
Amazing - My Kids are Eating Salad! July 20, 2006

Me and my kids are loving the aerogarden. They're constantly checking it for new growth and watching the roots. They've even named the plants. What's really nice is that they actually get excited about eating the salad with the aerogarden lettuce. It's helping us eat a little healthier and is fun too - a great deal. Highly recommended.

The AeroGarden was easy to put together, the directions were clear and so far it is performing as expected. It seems like it does grow pretty fast and you don't have to do much but watch it grow and explain it to your friends (people are very interested in this thing). I had to reset the light timer because at first it was on all night and off in the day, but that was easy and now it comes on in the morning and goes off around bedtime. I already have little yellow flowers on my tomatoes and I don't think it's been growing even a month!

I've tried in the past to grow any plants and would not have much luck, I'd forget to water or the sun light was either to much or too little. This product works wonderful. The firts time I seen it my sister was at my sisters house. She had the herb garden growing. The plants were healty and Tasty. There is nothing like having fresh herbs for cooking. After that I just had to have one. It's has taken all the guess work out of gardening. It's easy to maintain and it's nearly self suffecient. There is a light that come on about every two weeks as a reminder to add the fertilizer and water and the rest is taken care of for you. You can get any better than that.

Why Didn't Someone Think of This Sooner??!! July 6, 2006

I love this product -- no dirt, no bugs and no chance of over-watering! This is very easy to assemble and easy to use. Just add water and a couple of nutrient tablets every two weeks. There's even a light that tells you when you need to do this.
I planted my Gourmet Herbs on June 15 and I was ready to harvest the basil before the fourth of July! If you follow the instructions, there's no way to mess this up. The herbs lasted about six months. My only caution is (and this is noted in the instruction booklet) that the lamps are on about 16 hours a day and they are bright at night. I can close off the bedrooms, so it doesn't bother me.
I highly recommend this product to anyone one who has tried to grow herbs indoors in the past. Aerogarden's customer service team is the best -- they know their stuff and are vary helpful. I had a problem with one of the herb kits and they have really worked to fix the problem.
Update: I read another reviewer's note about installing a new pump. I had a seed pod that never sprouted and after being shipped a replacement pod that also didn't work, Aerogarden sent me a new pump. I installed it last night with a new kit. The instructions were clear and it was pretty easy to do. I liked doing it myself in five minutes instead of sending the unit somewhere to be repaired. It still was an inconvenience, but my positive experiences with the product far outweigh the annoyance of the installation.
Update:
My first kit was the gourmet herb and as noted above, I had problems with the cilantro. I have since replanted my garden by mixing the French, Itallian and new Gourmet Herb kits and they've worked beautifully,especially the cilantro. The new pump has made all the difference. My oregano is even more hearty this time around. With the mew pump, all of my herbs are doing better. After almost two months of growth, the thyme appears to be the least robust of the bunch, but still has a good yield. It's in a back corner spot.
