AeroGarden - Harvest Elite Slim – Indoor Garden – Easy Setup – 6 grow pods included - Stainless – Flower kit

I have never been able to keep anything alive with standard gardening, but this thing does all the work for you! I love it, and I even have some herbs that have already sprouted!! Not to mention it is a great conversation starter- everyone that has visited me has asked about it :) after I master the herbs kit that came with it I am totally going to try the grow anything kits with my own seeds and see how they turn out.

The Aerogarden is probably the easiest way to grow fresh vegetables year-round. The pods are pre-seeded and all you need to do is add water and the fertilizer. This is the slim version which can be placed virtually anywhere. It provides the timer, light, and schedule so all you have to do is add water and fertilizer when it reminds you, so messing it up is rather difficult. As an afterthought, it would be a great way to introduce children to gardening. The second photo I am posting is after 22 days from unpacking to fresh produce which is really fast. There are a few cons, however, and these include dead pods (one did not germinate), limited grow space which causes plant crowding (a trade off because of the size), and the high cost of the pods—if ordered separately—is rather steep for a simple-formed plastic base with the soil mix (the plastic is probably reusable but getting the formed soil pack might be difficult). My last issue is that the directions are a little disorganized. In hindsight, it is very easy to use, but finding out what to do took a little bit of hunting and label reading. For example, I found only one location where it suggests the fertilizing amount is only on the bottle and lists only “capfuls” as opposed to ml or teaspoons and one location where it recommends using distilled water. These do not detract from the ease of use of the Aerogarden. Lastly, the overall its overall value is another consideration. This is not designed to save you money. That is not the point. I can’t, for example, imagine growing enough food to pay for itself anytime soon, however, if having quick easy access to fresh vegetables important it is definitely a winner. The slim version is great for one or two people, but with more people in your home a larger version would be better suited if you have the space.

The AeroGarden is excellent. Very easy set up and works better than expected. I tried going veggies indoors during the Spring months and failed in the end. I started the growing process 1 day after I received my order and the results are amazing!! Its been 16 days and four of my six pods (heirloom salad) are about 2-3 inches high already. Sometimes germination takes a little longer for the seed pod varieties, but I am happy with what I have right now. I am going to purchase another so I can grow herbs in one and different veggies in another. Who knows, maybe I will buy two more. You definitely, will not be disappointed with this purchase.

I purchased 2 of these as Christmas gifts and my mom immediately started using it. Maybe 3 weeks in, and she’s already growing lettuces. She gave me updates on their growth and it’s been super fast results! I plan to buy another for myself!

Really easy to setup and grow your veggies! It twlls you when to add the fertilizer and water. It will also keep count of how old your plants are. I'm satisfied with this unit after having it for almost a month. I wish I bought the bigger one because I can only grow enough salad for one meal for my wife and I.

Got this as a Christmas present for my girlfriend and honestly we’ve both ended up loving it. We haven’t harvested anything yet, but watching the sprouts get bigger everyday indoors is very cool; it feels as though their claim of growth being much faster than in soil seems to be absolutely true. Cant wait to reap the rewards when time comes, if all goes well may even consider purchasing another to grow more stuff!

Just add water! Love this system! Super easy set up, everything you need is included in the box. I'm on day 30 and lettuce is ready to harvest! Best Buy had the best price online at the time, so I purchased 2 units. They also sell any replacement items you may need. Very happy with Best Buy's price match guarentee as well. Store reps are always helpful and knowledgeable in my experiences.

Easy to grow. Planted tomatoes that lasted about 8 months and planning our next batch now.
