 Outstanding! March 18, 2008

This system is no muss, no fuss and the herbs are wonderful. I have a "black" thumb and they grow for me! Highly recommended for those who want fresh herbs for their cooking.

Purchased prod w/standard seed kit and regular basil was 2nd to sprout, but after 2 weeks it had a clear fungus...fury mold to all of it. Out of remaining seeds in kit (my kit had cilantro which was replaced w/thyme)...thyme so far is producing the least. Thyme was actually the 1st to sprout but is faltering in the long haul. The most aggresive growth is the mint. Next it is neck & neck w/dill & chive. I find myself cutting dill & chives to "clear the shade" in the hopes that the rest can catch up. I will say that I left a hydroponic tomatoe in the light of the machine...and in 2 weeks the fruit still looked fresh & the skin had visual bubbles or pimples in it. When I opened the tomatoe nearly every seed had sprouted...yes SPROUTED within the tomatoe (so cool to see by the way - actual leaves inside a tomatoe!). So I transplanted 4 seedlings into the empty basil "herb pod" and moved it to the back corner of the unit. AeroGarden says the nutrients are different for herbs vs. vegetables...but if I can keep these sprots alive for another 4 weeks...I am in business with 4 REAL tomatoe plants. No matter any results, it has been a blast watching the growth, especially the tomatoes which bursted as a seed inside a tomatoe that I had to cut out and now is an entitiy with leaves (and will soon need to be separated). And in the end I have a LOT of mint frozen for our summer Mojitos!!

Did EVERYTHING according to instructions. Plants grew but flowers (that lead to tomatoes) that were supposed to appear by 4 weeks did NOT appear by 4 MONTHS (when I gave up)!!
 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.
