I review the AeroGarden in each of the areas and explain my thoughts about the AeroGarden. I tried to make this the best AeroGarden review available by discussing all the topics I was curious about before purchasing mine. I discuss how well the AeroGarden is made, how nice it looks, how easy it is to set up and easy to use, how well the AeroGarden performs in growing plants, how the plants actually taste and my thoughts on the value of the AeroGarden in relation to the cost.

Overall I am very happy with the AeroGarden. It's been a ton of fun to have growing in the kitchen and having fresh herbs at our fingertips has been wonderful. Not to mention that any time we have company everyone is very curious about it so it makes for some good conversation as well. I would highly recommend to anyone thinking about purchasing one and wouldn't hesitate to buy one for myself again.

If you want to get much better performance out of any of these mini indoor hydroponic gardens, create a reflective curtain made of silver/chrome (reflective side inward) mylar that you wrap around the gardens light hood. Make sure you create a few open top gaps so excess heat vents out. You'll get growth performance thats about double (+100%) what these gardens offer by default, and because the plants are getting light at all angles, it promotes bushy (doubly so if you prune your plants) growth rather than leggy growth.
I would also recommend against crowding your garden. Just because it has x number of seeds pods, does not mean that's whats best for growth and performance. Research the growth height and recommended garden spacing of the plant(s) you want to grow, and follow those directions with your Aerogarden. I dedicated my Harvest model to a single basil plant (as a test subject for my reflective curtain idea), and came out with a basil plant thats about the size and bushiness of a high quality garden centers 10" pot of geraniums. Its the most full and healthy basil plant I have EVER seen.

Great video, as usual! Thank you for sharing! You actually reminded me to add liquid food to mine as the light is on.

Great Video! Could you do a demo on how to reset the days on the display? I have exactly the same model as you. Nothing is working when I’m following reset instructions from the guide. Appreciate it

Can you grow other foods besides herbs like tomatoes or bell peppers for instance? And can you transport the plants from the unit and continue growing them in soil?

Hello from Canada, should i set the light to illuminate during daytime or nightime ? Thanks in advance.

How long do lights need to be on for ?

[raybon]

The lights do have to go higher in all models...

I see little insects crawling about. Is this something to be expected from using this product?
