I love the aerogarden, I use mine to grow any random plant I feel like growing because they grow so big and healthy really fast, maybe because of all the oxygen and how easy it is to feed the plants properly. Ive grown peppers, tomatoes, petunias, melons, you name it. I thought 'water roots' from growing hydroponically would be a problem, but I've put all my plants directly into potting soil after a few weeks when they have big strong root systems and so far not a single plant has failed to thrive in the potting soil after being transplanted
Yes the aerogarden is good on oxygen cuz the water is always moving. What I have experimented on was the Kratkey method(hydro but without a 02 bubbler) it worked super well with my lettuce(recently did a vid on that) im moving up to tomatoe, peppers n cabbage now with the kratkey
Yay so happy to hear this I just got one for Mother’s Day
This was a MUCH better review than a previous one I just saw. It explained everything in great detail and offered helpful tips.
Well thankyou🌻
I have been an AeroGarden fan for years and have grown many things in it. I am on the third generation of the AeroGarden and I highly recommend it
You're amazing, girl! I am so glad I came across your video. It was very informative and answered a lot of questions that I had.
you are so enthusiastic about gardening, it helped me get hyped and feel okay about my first time using my aerogarden :)
Great video. Quick tip- block the holes that you aren't using to prevent light from shining in the water, you'll get algae bloom in your tank.
Yep I've been closing them but I notice you'll still develop algae around the rim of the pods🤦♀️
How do you shut them?
reuse old pods from the starter kit, you dont even need the grow anything kit.
Just really need the fertilizer, and even that has cheaper options of better quality.
I have even grown a seed in the old pod holder with a cotton ball and rocks, it all works.
Money saving!💯
Thanks.Great idea!
Which alternate fertilizers do you like best?
Yea but the roots grow through the pods so how is that reusable.
@@rickytanner3 you've got to cut the roots to remove a plant from the plastic cage-holder. This is why folks who use the aerogarden as a seed-starter stress that you should transplant seedlings that haven't had the time to develop a whole lot of crazy-long roots yet.
If you use the aerogarden to start plants you're going to transplant, I recommend cutting away as much of the grow-sponge as is possible, the sponge drying out in the soil of a pot can strangle a plant's roots otherwise.
Remember that you cannot let light get into the base water or you’ll get algae or mold. Roots are not made for light and if mint roots get light on them then they’ll sprout underneath the tray with holes. AG makes caps for the holes you don’t use, but old golf balls are the perfect size instead.
Interesting use of a golf ball!
@@TheAdhdGardener Or a cleaned baby jar, or other smallish lid, works great too - you can even paint the top of the lid if the anesthetic of the current color bothers you.
great idea
K cups fill those holes also
I use milk jug tops and spice jar lids to cover empty pods.
I loved this review! I'm seriously considering getting one because the science behind it is really cool, so I'm glad you could tell me it really works!
Thanks so much!! From there I started to explore more hydroponics cuz well why not?😆
I got an aero garden and I love it! I don’t get much sun in my house, and this makes it possible to grow plants and have them thrive. It tells you when to fertilize, which is great because I forget to fertilize my outdoor plants. Thanks for the video and helpful hints.
Aren't they convenient?! Glad you're loving it🌻
I love your bubbly personality. Thank you for this review.
I saw the ad two days ago and watched your video today. YOU SHOULD BE SPONSORED!! What a great presentation, I'm sold, as I want to grow all of my food seeing as our FDA is a joke.
Aww thanks.. id love to get sponsored cmon aerogarden!😆. Our FDA is a complete joke not to mention the other players, corporations n government but I digress. They hold too much power. Its wise to learn how to be able to handle our own n grow our own food!🌻🌻
Great video. Just bought one last week. So excited to watch the plants grow.
I find watching paint dry torturous, but staring at plants grow? AWESOME🤣
I am so ADHD, your review is so perfect for me! I didn’t research it, but asked for it! got this for Christmas & am keeping it per your review! Thank you for being here! If you know, you know
Had to look at from a different perspective. The fact that it reminds me of the water n nutrients sold me😆 I always forget that
Just bought my mom an areogarden because I knew she would love one, but wouldnt ever think to buy one for herself. I had seen the old TV infomercials and knew as long as the light and water pump worked properly, it would be a great product for her. Thanks for the review, it made me feel more comfortable having spent that money! You got yourself a new sunscriber!!!
Theyre awesome and convenient for sure. This fall n winter I'm dabbling into other hydro units u can set up yourself🌻
Thanks for the video! I was thinking of getting it as a gift and this review made me feel comfortable that I'm making a good decision!
Glad it helped!🌻
I know us die hard gardeners would not necessarily go for this but i thought I'd show a great option for those who want to dabble in some low maintenance gardening options or who has a packed busy life😁🌱 ALSO cover the holes from the lights that are not being used. Light exposure to sun/light will grow algae
I have one coming tomorrow. It's too hot in Arizona in summer for a lot of plants. This i hope is a great alternative! Sidebar: just found your videos. I like your style dude!
@@IcyBird420 from Arizona as well. Which is why I'm looking into this.
@@marcuspotenciano7543 dude. I bought another one! The key is all about not overcrowding the pods. I accidentally planted a taller tomato plant and it quickly took over the entire bounty unit I had. Transfered it to dirt after 5 months and I thought it was dead. Still going. Any questions I'd be glad to help.
@@IcyBird420 definitely looking forward to some cherry tomatoes. Have you tried strawberries by any chance?
@@marcuspotenciano7543 I have not. I would imagine they would do great. You could probably fit 2 or 3 plants I would imagine. Just make sure to add 3-5 seeds per pod and thin them out after a few weeks/month.
I just got this as a Christmas gift from my parents. I can’t wait to try it out!
Yey! Have fun!🤗
I enjoyed your review. Look forward to growing beautiful things and watching more inspiring stories!
Now thats what I'm talking bout!🌻🌻
Fantastic ! I'm a Black Foot who needs a portable system! YOU remind me of a special 'squaw', we will invest in you! I want you to get the credit! I am a Shaman as 'the eye of the eagle ' "MAD1". Thank you for one of the best 'Sales Presentations'. LOVE YOU! Your, non biased and carefree demonstrated ease of operation is so simple! U slod ME. A 'Blackfoot Brave'!
You’re awesome! Thanks for sharing your knowledge. I learned a lot.
So, I ran across this channel, of course, because I'm looking to grow my favorite herbs indoors (apartment life); And after your intro about mental health, I knew I was in the right place.
have 3 aerogardens and absolutely love em.
Christmas gift to myself. Delivery tomorrow!👍 I watched several vids about it & your's is my fave! I got gourmet lettuces because I love fancy lettuce. Can't wait!!
The lettuce one sounds like a great choice!🌻
Hello thank you for your review on the AeroGarden it was very interesting. I just received one for Christmas myself and I absolutely love it.
Glad u enjoy your aerogarden!🌻
This was a great video. Thank you
I love your energy! Thanks for the very informative video!
Thanks😁🌻
Hey there. I'm new to your channel and wanted to thank you for your gardening videos with humor. And to let you know I just ordered one of these through your link. Amazon will have it to by Sunday. Goodness, they're fast.
I appreciate your support!🌱 I do hope you enjoy growing some veg😁
I’m a die hard gardener with outdoor vegetable gardens. I LOVE the AeroGarden, in fact I just ordered my FORTH one 😍.
That's what I'm talking bout die hard gardeners😍😍. Hydro comes in handy🌻🌻
Just bought my second one!
I find that basil (genovese, marseille, neapolitan and Thai, especially) and some lettuces grow really well in this, other seeds, not so much. I have had this garden for about 8 months now, and I do like it. It definitely is nice to be able to get a few leaves of fresh basil for a dish and not have to buy a whole bunch at the market that will go bad before you get a chance to use it all. I have found that you can't grow all 6 pods at once, though. The plants get too crowded and begin to shade each other out or the lettuce grows mold in the center because there is not enough air circulation. Definitely a good kit to have if you are an avid gardener who goes through withdraws in the winter months!
How many times can you harvest fruits (say tomatoes) from one seed pod? Once? Once you collect tomatoes, should you replace the pod with a new one?
2 years later do you still use it?
Thank you for this review. My daughter just bought me one for Christmas and this is part of my research. I too am a gardener and I'm looking forward to trying it out.
That's an awesome Christmas gift! You'll love it! I also have a vid on how to clean your aerogarden too. Also if u stay tuned I have an upcoming vid on changing seedling pods using different seeds etc. ENJOY!🌻
@@TheAdhdGardener Thanks, I'll look forward to that video!
What a solid review!
This was the best video and most informative.I just purchased a couple of these aero gardens just for something to do lol.I can’t wait to see the results.
Thanks! I love your excitement!!😍🌻
@@TheAdhdGardener Update this thing is awesome for indoor herbs.I even started a jalapeño plant and transplanted it this morning.I have no regrets.
I've got 2 Aerogardens that I've used for years. They're awesome. I'm buying a Sprout for my granddaughter. You can just buy the baskets & sponges and put your own seeds in them so that you don't have to buy the expensive seed pods. I've never bought a seed pod kit
I just bought two of them recently but the larger ones the basic that hold 9 pods each can't wait to use them indoor garden😎😍
Yyaaasss keeps up busy in winter time too🌻
Thank for video, really love for winter helpfull hints
No problemo!🌻
Thanks for this practical review.
No problemo! 🌻
You can actually get a 50 pk of grow your own pods and sponges and it makes it way cheaper to provide your own seeds.
You right on the money💯🌻
Mine came with a big pack of little soil turds. Is that what those are? 😬 Sorry I'm a newb. I love plants and my fiance got this for me for Easter. I definitely don't want to pay $16 every time I want to grow something... So, can I place my seeds in those soil turds?
@@Jessiemess85 yes if they are blanks. They just go in the plastic holders drop in a seed and put it the container
I also use this to grow cuttings, works like a champ.
And some of them even come with the liquid fertilizers/ nutrient
Thanks a lot for your video ! ❤
Thank you I appreciate the review, based on that I'm getting one.
Theyre pretty good! Enjoy🌻🌻
Great review, thank you!
You're very welcome😁
Hi!! I'm a new follower...you're the best...love your video...
Great review! I got my first one this last winter, got the Harvest Elite 360, and I love it! It's absolutely worth it. I grew the provided herbs for 94 days, though mint never germinated that's fine, I've got it outside. I also got a pack of coco coir pods to start round 2 which I'm 4 days into. I'm with you on there being more pros than cons. Thanks for sharing. 🙋♀️👏
Thanks! I guess it just depends on what the person is lookin for when it comes to one of these machines
You're lucky the mint didn't do well. My experience with mint in an aerogarden was the plant growing outrageously well and it's roots trying to grow into parts of the machine that fountain water onto the grow-sponges. It was disastrous. 😆
The best things to grow in the aerogarden are plants whose leaves you'll eat, like lettuces and basil, since those plants grow tremendously well. My experience with tomato plants was lackluster, a whole lot of time invested for very little product.
(I'm currently growing a batch of bok choy that I'm looking forward to stir-frying in the future.)
mine didn't either
I just bought one. I'm very into cooking and I am very excited to grow my own basilica, rosemary, and thyme. I wish they had a bay leaf pod! This will be perfect for me because I live in an apartment with no garden or yard area. : D
That's awesome! There are other ways to dabble with growing plants Indoors with hydroponics🌻
Bay leaf is a tree and can grow quite tall.
you are such a good speaker!! wow
Very helpful!!!!
The AeroGarden Bounty models have lights that extend to 24," and the Bounty Elite has a 50 watt light, and the Bounty Basic has a 30 watt. That Harvest unit has a 20 watt light.
Most people would probably be surprised at what you can grow in those units.
I just bought an aerogarden through ebt. I can't wait for it to come in
❤❤❤🙌🙌🙌yyyyaaazzzz!!!! I LOVE IT!!! im ssooo glad you decided to buy one! Many people don't know u can use EBT to buy seeds but the aerogarden?! How awesome is that!!! Im so happy for u!!! Good for u growing your own greens🌻🌻 u got this! 💯
LOVE YOU! I have 6 units! Tahnks!
I have 3. 2 lg and the one you’re reviewing. You may need additional gardens because light time daily is different for flowers, herbs,veggies, and tomatoes. Also, the light goes higher on the larger gardens,and you can even buy floor models
great video!!! thanks
I just purchased and AreoGarden and I’m so excited. Thanks for the video!!! Could you do a video for custom seeds?
Was thinking about it🤔 sounds like a future video🌻
I 3d print my baskets and use a napkin seed starter to get things going. When they're long enough, i use wet gauze as the grow media and boom, we good. Finna add bokchoy and tiny Tim tomatos to my 3rd aerogarden slim. Thanks for your content!
I need A 3d printer!🤦♀️ they come in handy but nice. Growing seeds in napkins is a good one too.
I wonder if there’s a way to use the gauze instead of the baskets, like if you can figure out a way to keep it from slipping down into the machine. Maybe by cutting off the top of a water bottle and turning it upside down?
@@monkeytrainer8135 I've seen other video-creators using rock-wool or cotton as a medium. Gauze sounds like an interesting idea, I may try that combined with cotton in the future.
Love this video. It’s very informative, but fun at the same time. I’m a big gardener, but the growing season is so short where I live. This definitely looks like a good option for me. I did laugh partway through because I couldn’t tell what your stove display said (alien symbols? I need better eyesight?). It added to the video.
My stove display sucks n def looks all alien like😆
i notice the stove display too and and also wondered.
great review--will get one!
Hope u enjoy it!🌻
I know this video is two years old but I love these tabletop hydroponic units. I use generic baskets/sponges and my own seeds. The one exception is I like the Aerogarden parthenocarpic cucumber pods. I have small (4 pod) units with my house plants. I grow micro dwarf varieties in a medium (6-8 pod) unit. I don’t use all the ports on these small/medium units and cover the holes. I use a larger (10-12 pod) unit to start seedlings that I transfer into DWC system. I live in a tiny condo but have five closets. I use the walk-in closet as a grow room. I have separate grow lights for the DWC system and small oscillating fans for ventilation and to help with pollination. I have a very tiny kitchen and don’t have space on the countertop for more than my sprouting jars. The lettuces and herbs fit in nicely with the house plants. I check all my plants daily. They’re my daily dose of mental health care.
That sounds sweet. Great use of apartment space!
You're a very special person Jackie.
🌻thanks
Awesome
I keep a couple of these "Harvest" units in my office at work. I work in higher education and try to expose incoming students to gardening, especially hydroponically. I'm growing butter lettuce in one and baby bok choy in the other. Many kids seem intrigued by the whole process. Because I see the same students on a requiring basis; many of them notice the rate of growth and want to see how the plants are doing.
What a great way to introduce growing food while at work!
I have three aerogardens and I love them. I buy replacement sponges on Amazon in bulk and small net pots. This way I grow my own dwarf / micro veggies.
Yyaasss i love it! Ima be experimenting with hydro as well as kraken method this year..its gonna be good
Yes, especially when you rent a small NYC apartment. Space is very limited. Especially since I have so many houseplants and keep repotting the babies.
@@Zarim721 I watch Summer Rayne Oaks from Brooklyn. She got me into houseplants when I lived in the inner city. Talk about inspiration! U got this girl keep growing🌻
Do you have a link for the best value grow sponges. That would be a great thing for me as I am using the seed starting kit and I will be looking to put some more in once I get this batch out
please can u share links for all of these
Thanks great video
Omg! I started researching this product because I have ADHD and all of my other plants died so I was like okay what's low maintenance and super adhd friendly, so then I found your video haha
Welcome!! I forget to water my plants all the time 🤣 this is great but stayed tuned because I'm working on another hydro system review for next month!
Nice, I am thinking about buying this for my 6 year old he wants to learn how to grow his own food. Thank you!
What an awesome son!!❤ that's awesome!!🌻
Great video
i've had mine for 2 months, the dill went crazy i'm giving it away, i actually moved the dill to another mason jar and set it right next to the light so it's still growing in water, you have to remember to not use tap water, i have a burky and use that and switch it out once a month. Love it! My cherry tomato plant just sprouted, so excited! I got the harvest 360, which is one step above i think. Worth it.
Oof u gotta Berkey that's NICE. yea your water is good. Tap water is aiight to use it just depends on how harsh your water is. If it's high in calcium then the calcification can accumulate. I have Dill too n it's growing large. Great for herbs
i think i will move the dill outdoors in the spring, but i just so much love the idea of just growing in water might have to get a bigger jar@@TheAdhdGardener
actually it's not a birkey it's a 4Patriots but looks like one lol @@TheAdhdGardener
I gave DWC and Kratky a go this past winter. I used a 5-gallon bucket with a fish tank pump and air stone, etc., but I really didn't give it the attention I should have. Want to get one of these units this year for my kitchen counter though. If it's stuck in a room somewhere, it's easy to forget about things.
I'm currently experimenting with Kratkey now! Just 1gal milk jogs for now cuz i wanna test out b4 I go bigger scale. It's a def great idea for indoor winter grow!(sounds like a winter vid series🤔)
@@TheAdhdGardener Awesome! I did the gallon milk jugs as well. Basically cut out a circle at the top with a box cutter and used 3" official net cups and others I made by soldering yogurt cups.
The clear milk jugs are obviously prone to algae if you don't cover or spray paint them and have them parked in the actual sun.
I think I also screwed some plants up because they developed the micro hair roots things and I thought it was fungus at first and rinsed the shit out of them. Whoops.
I had a few things going pretty well, but I tend to need to have them in my face to be able to focus on them. I think hydroponics is a little more high maintenance than soil planting so far, but definitely good winter projects.
I didn't have the thingamajigs to test the PPM or pH of the water. And I didn't get the CalMag till it was too late. Lol
I have since gotten the pH meter and PPM sticks. My water is within range on the PPM, but in the high 7's to 8 on the pH meter.
I am planting out an area by my work since I don't have a lot of space at home. I just put up a video today about it. Guerilla gardening and all that.
I just ordered the harvest XL, its on sale now and added a discount code from a guy on CZcams for $168. can't wait to get it. I never grew anything so this should be interesting.
That's awesome! Time to play around with it🌻
I use mine usually in February March to start my seeds (I have a 12 pod off brand aerosgarden and a container garden). During spring and summer, I use it for most of my propagations. I will remove the sponges and put my propagations in the baskets. I currently have some string of hearts, turtles, zigzag cactus, green onions and some pothos.
I’m buying one, how do you propagate pothos or any other plants in these??
@@AvidTesla I just put my cuttings directly into the sponges or in the water directly
Apple cider vinegar and a couple drops of dish soap in a shallow dish will take care of those gnats. Good review. I see I can't grow my medicinal plants with this. Thanks for the review
I got an Aero Garden 3 weeks ago- LOVE IT!! The light on mine goes to 24 inches, 9 spots for pods, so tons of room. So far everything is going well, the Basil is growing SO FAST
It def comes in handy especially in the kitchen!
Did you plant all the pods at once? My aerogarden arrives today with the gourmet herbs kit
@@OO-fm3sw u don't need to plant all the pods at the same time just cover the holes of the aerogarden to not let light hit the water to prevent algae growth.
@@OO-fm3sw I got a 9 pod garden- from my experience with it I would say DON'T fill all the pots- the Basil. Dill and flat leaf Parsely (not Curly) grow MUCH faster and much taller- they crowd out the slow growing shorter plants (Thyme, curly parsley). For your first try I'd do Basil and Parsley. I actually ended up getting a second Aero Garden to give the other plants (Chives, Thyme, Curly Parsley a fighting chance- they are doing really well without the bully plants near them>
@@jimcurt99 Thank you so much for this, I truly appreciate it. I just received my Bounty Elite a couple of hours ago but was feeling intimidated on which pods to put in first. You are a live saver! (Mine and the plants, that is 😆)
I like the chic on the beginning of video.
I love your spirit!
Thanks a bunch!🌻
@@TheAdhdGardener Yw!
You have the same pretty face and eyes of the girl I fell in love with in high school so long ago and I was staring at you and forgot to listen to what you said. LOL! I just got four similar to this and have lettuce, basil, turnips, and radishes growing. I can already tell I`m gonna love this new hobby!
Aaww thanks 😁🌻🌻. Who would've know gardening can help us soo much and we can eat it!
Areogarden has an automatic set timer on the light, it will turn on and off after initial setup ..no need to do anything after that. Also depending on what you want to grow, select the right areogarden for you and the height of the light and amount of grow pod spaces depends on the unit....ie "The Bounty" is a larger unit
That machine turns off the light at the weirdest of times😆
@@TheAdhdGardener depends on when you first turned it on. I set mine at 530 am and it turns off at 730 pm...you can reset it any time you want. just press the light button and hold till it flashes then let go..and it is set
I just plugged one in 3 days ago. No growth yet. I get impatient. But yours grew great. My fingers are crossed.take care, good luck growing.
I had some pretty good success with it. It only took like 5 days for sprouts even not on seeds directly from aero garden. I planted some cucumbers and peppers to eventually move outside and got sprouts in around one week
@@nickswisher1615 im seeing what looks like a fuzzy white down in there.i figure if seeds germinate easily i will use as germination station for a few seeds im have trouble germinate. Take care, good luck growing.
@@bobbiwest6625 I also had that fuzzy white stuff show up. I don’t think that’s a problem, but it seems like you are on a similar path to me
@@nickswisher1615 yes on 6th day now.all up but mint and parsley.so glad they early not late.take care
They must have heard you, the new one I bought the light raises up to 18" and has a trellis system for taller plants. I did get the 9 pod one because it was on clearance for $75.
Shiet I've tried to contact them to see of they'd sponsor a new vid but I havnt heard from them😑 lol. Glad they made improvements
I think those are cool, but I really love the smell of dirt. I love playing in the soil while planting.
Oh yes theres no comparison! I dont even wear gloves when I garden😆 🌱
It’s great for people who don’t have that option though.
i love playing in the dirt too. my daughter insists on using 3" of chip mulch everywhere but calls it a garden. i said a garden has dirt; that's landscaping; i want to dig in the dirt. she said fortunately there is dirt under the mulch.
They have a 24xl model which is a lot bigger. Didn't know if you knew. Have a great day.
New subber I love it 😊
Welcome!🤗🌻
What I love about this is that in Florida in summer it’s too hot to grow regular basil and a number of other herbs, and tomatoes, so this lets me have summer crops. I am also experimenting with transplanting these to pots before they get too big and put them near this light to keep them growing while I start something else.
Great use. Just pull from the base of the plant till the grow medium slides out then plant🌻
I have done this! My basil plant was really big when I removed it, so I cut the plastic cage off and planted in a pot outside. It worked great!
@@abbynormal3192 I had less success with transplanting a large tomato plant out of the aerogarden like that. After the plant struggled for months I dug it up and realized that the grow-sponge all the roots went through would strangle the roots anytime it dried out. I've cut away much of the sponge on a more recent cherry tomato plant and it is doing way better.
My first time watching you, and holy fuck, I LOVE YOU!
😁🌻🌻
I have started to look into the Krakty method to transfer the pods. Harvest tomatoes take long to grow and take over the aero garden. So I wouldn’t use any other pods with it like I did.
U are amazing and I'm definitely subscribing! Are u Italian? Bc I am and u spoke to me 😄🥰
😆 ive gotten that before but im Puertorican we'd still get along
I love your video, and have an odd question: what music are you using in the background? I love it.
Thank you! I enjoyed your review and have been thinking about buying one. I wonder if the bigger ones are worth it. I'd love tomatoes!
If anything look into the Kratkey method of hydro. Tomatoes have some huge roots. Ima experiment with that also(I did a vid on it with lettuce)
i've been looking at the ads and wondering the same thing. what i dont understand is people forking out for 36" height fixtures to grow short salad greens... the company doesnt seen to make farm size short fixtures. but i'm with u i love fresh tomatoes as well. the 36" height fixtures make sense but also remember anything that bushes out needs more room so i love the suggestion to cover unused openings with golf balls... what a conversation piece lol.
Thank you for the video. Im getting one now. You gave a lot of information. Is it just for herbs? I hope they're sending you stuff for this. im sold. I use a lot of Basil and Oregano, in spaghetti & meatballs and homemade pizza alone. 👍 New subscriber here. God bless 🙏❤️
U can grow other veggies but keep in mind the tomato roots(like peppers) get BIG n will take over your aerogarden. They need so much space. You could either
1-grow only 1 plant
2- start your seedlings in there n transplant them out
3- get micro mini varieties to try out
Thank you Jackie. Could you grow rosemary, mint, parsley, and basil in this since the light doesn’t rise that high?
I haven’t a couple of questions. I am buying this as a gift. Is 6 pods enough? I saw in other comments that you may not want to do all six at one time so that gives you only 3 or 4 plants. Someone also said this does not have a timer for the light. Is that correct? Are the seed pods brand specific? Cami buy a different brand and use Aero Garden’s seeds? Thank you for taking the time to answer.
Once the plants reach a certain age, can you plant them in soil and put them outside?
How often do you have to add water? Is the light on a timer? I travel frequently, and need something self sufficient.
YOUR R GREAT!
I personally do not like because playing with the dirt, smell and making soil mixtures is something I enjoy but it's something curious nevertheless
PD: I'm a new follower and love your videos!!
Yes! Def I enjoy mixing my own soil cuz I haven't found a good brand yet🤦♀️silver lining its fun🌻
I have several, but I also garden. In my zone, this kind of cures the itch of being able to plant and grow things when you have 2 feet of snow on the ground. There are also additional seed starting trays that can be used to start your seedlings for your outdoor garden. Being I have a small house with no extra space for big lights and trays, this all in one is amazing. Fresh herbs/tomatoes/peppers/lettuce all winter and seedlings to start my garden in spring. It's a win win for me.
How many times can you harvest fruits (say tomatoes) from one seed pod? Once? Once you collect tomatoes, should you replace the pod with a new one?
I am in no way a gardener which is why I LOVE my Aerogarden. Just started 1.5 months ago and feel like I’m not a complete black thumb. How often do I need to replace the pods and put new ones in? Will the plants eventually just not grow?
The plant eventually will get super mature. For example if you're growing lettuce and you've harvested it 3x already the stem starts to take a hit. Also those roots grow incredibly big. You can then replace the pods
Seed pods can be 3d printed (if you have a 3d printer of course), super useful.
All I need now is a 3d printer😁🌻
Why did the Multiple Survival Units, not demonstrate , with a long extention cord several folks could have fresh food [enough to survive ]? I bought a few but it takes a moment to watch and benefit from the

Thanks im sure your busy it's cool to see people still help people.
late to the party, but thanks for the Vid! pretty much my feelings as well. my only concern, and I see some below grew tomatoes and peppers, but it is the pollinating process for those.. since they are inside not likely to get my bees to come in and do their thing;-) recommendations? I have read use of hand held fans... there probably is a video out there, but have searched yet. Thanks again!
Tomatoes are self pollinating so no need for bees, they can rely on wind. U can mimic it with a fan or shake the tomato plants themselves!
I have been wanting to try this, but still not sure. Can you move those pots out of the Aero Garden and plant them on a regular pots?
That's this Saturdays video! I'll be showing that and how to grow your own seeds with different mediums🌻
Kim if she paved her own way.
