AeroGarden Harvest, Sage with Gourmet Herbs Seed Kit

This item was a Christmas gift for my mother who is blessed with a green thumb but lives in a place where the changing seasons leave her unable to grow the plants she wants to effectively year round. She was delighted to receive this and is so excited for the eventual harvest of everything she can grow.

Very happy with my purchase of the Harvest. It's so quick and easy to set up. It will let you know if it needs water or if it's time to add fertilizer. Even someone who has never grown anything before can grow things with this setup. It's nice to be able to garden during the winter months too. I'm growing lettuce first.I know by growing it myself I won't have to worry about recalls. Thinking of purchasing another just like it .

As a first time hydroponic type, I was concerned for a quick minute, but this is as easy as plugging it in and adding water. The book that comes with it is very helpful, and it's everything you need. I have the heirloom cherry tomatoes coming along nicely now. I already started some nature's-finest and had to transplant them in about two weeks due to the amazing root growth from this thing! I also added some store bought lettuce seeds and different tomato seeds. They're doing fine so far too. Looks like I'll have to move them outdoors in week or two. A very nice surprise and an affordable hobby!

I have several of these units. I love them all. the Harvest is a nice size for the beginner. I use these for my herbs and to start plants for my other aero systems. My house looks like a greenhouse as I have so many of these units. They all work awesome and I love the end result. I've had them for years and these now work better and are better systems than they used to be when I started using them. The lights work better on getting the plants to bear fruit. These systems have always worked well at herbs but now it's better as they also work with many vegetables, peppers and other plants. I believe the system is stronger as well. I have a couple of the wifi larger units and those are great as well.

I absolutely love my aerogarden! It is so user friendly and so much fun to watch these plants practically grow before our eyes. All the seeds germinated in an appropriate time frame and the plants are very healthy. However, I couldn't give it 5 stars because the seed pods were not as described. The aerogarden came with a 6 pod kit of cascading petunias. However, that was in name only. We got one golden tomato plant (with "golden" clearly written on the pod lid) and 5 pods that were labeled "cascading" however two are actually cascading petunias (we think ... they haven't blossomed yet) and the other three have a mix of coleus and cascading petunias. This time it isn't a big deal for me because the whole aerogarden is new to me and it's become a bit of an adventure to see what we actually end up with. But if I had wanted something specific in all 6 pods, I would have been very disappointed. The instruction manual would be better if it included more information as well - particularly about how to empty and clean the aerogarden since you are supposed to do it once a month. I had to find a youtube video to show me how. Outside of these two issues, I look forward to enjoying many gardens in the future.

We enjoy it - it has only been a month since we started the herb seed pods and we are harvesting leaves already. I gave it one less star because the control panel does not reset when I feed or water the unit. Also, one herb failed to germinate, but my free replacement is on its way to me.

Nice littlw unit that does what it promises in description. Wish light would adjust higher. Tip: use separate units for herbs and veggies. This will ensure better yield espwcially from herbs. Otherwise, you could block necessary light for herbs .

This is a good device with one significant shortcoming. It's too short. Specifically, the lamp cannot be raised beyond 12 inches, and this seriously limits what can be grown. So far, we have grown herbs and salad greens, and in both cases, the plants promptly bumped against the lamp, forcing us to prune very aggressively. This feature is advertised by the manufacturer, so it was not a surprise, but it would be nice if AeroGarden provided some stock solution.

I loved my 1st one in the beginning but then it stopped circulating. I bought a new one and was thrilled to see it circulating. After less than a week no circulating. Result, dill, on far left grew, and finally purple basil, weeks later in the center grew. Nothing else. Period. I have a 5 grower. Not happy.

We were real excited about it and the plants were growing very good. But for whatever reason we don't know why within 2 days they died. I was going to text customer service or call them but I seen this email so I thought I'd respond to this first.
