 Doesn't produce with 2 foot aerogarden February 2, 2008

Don't buy the cherry tomato seed kit unless you own the newer, higher aerogarden!
I own the "standard" Aerogarden. This version has a maximum distance of about two feet from pods to lights. I had previously had a great experience growing the herbs. The tomatoes just needed a lot more headroom that my aerogarden provided. My harvest was a meager eight (if great-tasting) cherry tomatoes. I've noticed that since my experience, Aerogarden has introduced a new version with a four foot headroom. I think the tomato seed kit should be clearly labelled as requiring the four foot version!
Also, make certain to read the directions--you'll need to pollinate the tomato flowers by hand, which is a straightforward process that is clearly described.
I'm now planting another round of herbs.
Growing Tomatoes in my Aero Garden January 27, 2008

I thought what fun. Fresh tomatoes all year round. The tomatoes bushes grew and grew and went past my hood of my garden and drooped over the top. I am loaded with tons of green tomatoes. Unfortunately, the bottom of the stems are slowly dying and I will end up not harvesting any tomatoes.
I have 3 aerogardens. I have tried the lettuces----GREAT. Herbs---GREAT. Petunia-----still blooming up a storm. The tomatoes.....I am hoping to salvage two plants by taking them OUT of the 'water' and planting them in real soil. The Aero Garden works great on the above except the tomatoes.
I love my machines. I have given the Aero Garden as Christmas and birthday presents....(I should have stock) but, the tomatoes are a bust. Sorry.
 Not the right plants for the AeroGarden! January 10, 2008

Ok, I love the Aerogarden and it worked great with my last batch of herbs. But the tomatos grow very fast and even with tons of trimming, I can't seem to keep them away from the lights. But that is not the biggest problem. Since the roots are not attached to anything, the tomato plants fall over in all directions. You can TRY to follow the instructions to tie them up somehow but the reality with the garden is that it is not easy to do so. There is only the one hood support to use. So even using garden ties, velcro, etc, the plants are always flopping around. If Aerogrow is reading this - I have a suggestion for you: Use the four "unused" holes in the tray to hold some sort of support towers for plants that get that big or need to climb. There could be some sort of snap in cone or something to help hold plants up.

I am enjoying this purchase so well that I bought one for my mom. I love fresh herbs and am so tired of buying them at the grocery and having them go bad before I can use them. This way I can have them fresh all year even in the winter! This is great since I live in Ohio.
There is a good number of alternative kits at their website.I have purchased the Mexican herb kit also.
The original kit that came with the garden is growing very well and will be ready for harvest in a couple of weeks.
Very easy to set this up and care for.Mine is located in a dark corner of my dining room. It brightened up that room and easy accessed from the kitchen.
It does have an on time of 16 hours,but I have it set to go off at bedtime and it comes on early morning.
I am very pleased with this purchase and would recommend it highly for anyone who likes to grow their own herbs or lettuce etc...

The perfect solution for urban dwellers who enjoy growing herbs indoors with a minimum amount of space & care. Also nice for suburbanites who want freshly grown herbs at home year round.
