Customer Reviews
Bland fruit - No support - lots of work
It took forever for fruit to flower - two of the three plants fruited, grew nice-sized tomatoes, but the weight caused them to topple. Next, the leaves all rotted off but the remaining fruit ripened...bland, ugh, no taste. The remaining plant finally grew fruit and they ripened red with tons of tape, etc. to support it (that's where all the extra work came in - trying to keep the plant upright). Taste on these was a little better but far from worth the effort. Back to herbs!!! (I do love the aerogarden for the herbs!)
I agree with others - very poor results
This is the first kit that I've had trouble with. I love the herb kits in general. I think I was able to get about 8 - 10 tomatoes TOTAL out of the entire life of these 3 plants. I followed all directions, manually pollinated by shaking hand over bushes daily, etc. The plants seemed to grow fine but produced very little fruit.
I agree with other reviews that say this is not a good choice for the AeroGarden.
Not the right plants for the AeroGarden!
Ok, I love the Aerogarden and it worked great with my last batch of herbs. But the tomatos grow very fast and even with tons of trimming, I can't seem to keep them away from the lights. But that is not the biggest problem. Since the roots are not attached to anything, the tomato plants fall over in all directions. You can TRY to follow the instructions to tie them up somehow but the reality with the garden is that it is not easy to do so. There is only the one hood support to use. So even using garden ties, velcro, etc, the plants are always flopping around. If Aerogrow is reading this - I have a suggestion for you: Use the four "unused" holes in the tray to hold some sort of support towers for plants that get that big or need to climb. There could be some sort of snap in cone or something to help hold plants up.
