Aerogrow Garden

Quoted message said:

I was considering getting an Aerogrow Garden for my kitchen(see link
below). Has anyone tried this yet, and if so, what were the results?

I saw the infomercial for this, and I was
really interested until I found out that
it required preseeded consumables that
you buy from the company. I forget what
the price was, but it was really high.

I completely lost interest after that.

I've been more inclined (intended) to try one of those upside-down
tomato-growing thingies.

You can buy a kit so you can use your own seed. As for the fertilizer, well
we are talking about hydroponics no matter how the bundle it or what they
call it. You would have to use special fertilizer no matter what. If want
something like this that enables you to drop in some needs and a spoon of
miracle grow you won't ever find it.

I have no problems with their seed kits. My question and one I think is more
important is do you get enough, lettuce, herbs, tomatoes, peppers, etc. to
make the $19.95 per seed kit worth while. If by the time you are done the
cost per pound is $10 per pound then that is a problem. More so for the
peppers and tomatoes than for the herbs. Fresh herbs in the store are not
cheap for what you get. For herbs I think it is a pretty good deal
especially if you don't have a free window to use to do your own.

I also like the fact that it is pretty much set it and forget it, clip it or
pick it and thats it.

Somebody!

Thanks Mary, Nancy and Somebody! Sorry I didn't get back to you before
this, a lot of life going on. The general consensus here seems to be
that it's a lot of pain for the results and seems to cost a lot of
money for what you get out of it. I actually saw something in a mail
order catalog which looks more interesting. It's a pouch like a
hanging basket that you put outdoors on your porch or patio, overhang,
etc and grow tomatoes and strawberries. I'm sure you could also grow
herbs in something of the sort, at least during spring/summer/early
fall months. Anyway good luck to all and I'll try to post results
ASAP. 🙂
