Just follow the simple instructions to set up, and the growing process starts immediately, with germination occurring within 24 hours and a mature plant that is ready five times faster than if grown in soil.

FAQ Q: What is aeroponics? A: Aeroponics is a dirt-free growing method in which plant roots are suspended in air within a 100 percent humidity, highly oxygenated growing chamber. Because the roots are bathed with ideal levels of nutrients, water, and oxygen, plants grow significantly faster, are healthier, and have a higher nutrient content than plants grown in soil. Q: How big is the AeroGarden? A: The AeroGarden has the footprint of a breadbox and is sized to fit conveniently under most cabinets. The AeroGarden measures 16 inches long by 10 1/2 inches wide by 15 1/2 inches high when it is first set up with the lights at the lowest possible setting, and 21 inches high at the highest level. Currently the AeroGarden comes in only one size. Q: What can I grow? A: Salad greens, gourmet herbs, chili peppers, cherry tomatoes, cascading petunias, and several types of basil. Q: How much time do I need to spend taking care of my AeroGarden? A: Approximately 5 minutes a month. You will need to occasionally add water, drop in two nutrient tablets, and provide minimal tending to your plants. Most of your time will be spent harvesting and enjoying delicious, fresh food. Q: How long can the AeroGarden be left unattended? What if I travel a lot? A planted AeroGarden can be left unattended for up to two weeks, depending on the type of plants you are growing and their maturity. Q: What kind of lightbulbs does it use? A: The AeroGarden uses full-spectrum compact fluorescent bulbs exclusively designed for the optimal amount and type of light needed for robust, healthy plant growth.

Customer Reviews

Awesome Product!!!
I got this garden as something fun to do during the off season. My son has helped me take care of it and we couldn't be happier! It is easy to use and grows herbs quickly. I would definatly suggest the aerogarden.

Love it!
I received the Aerogarden as a Mother's Day present and I love it. I set it up two weeks ago and all of the pods have blossomed. Most of the plants are already a couple of inches tall. There's very little maintenance and no guessing how much to water or fertilize. I get a real kick out of checking to see how the herbs are doing and I'm looking forward to having fresh herbs to use in recipes.

The most expensive produce you'll ever buy
I love my Aerogarden, really I do, but it's like loving a girl who won't go out and get a job because she wants to sit around the house eating ice cream all day. Even if your total cost was the price of a seed kit, you would have to have quite a crop to justify the cost, but don't forget the initial price of the system, and replacement grow lights every six months!My first kit was mixed herbs, but only the basil gave me a decent yield; even so, I've gotta figure my cost to be something like a couple dollars per ounce of basil. But never say die! I like having the greenery indoors, enriching the oxygen, and it's easier than caring for a pet. My 2nd kit, cherry tomatoes, looks pretty promising so far, but I'm a little ticked that as soon as they started to sprout, the garden started flashing the "replace grow lights" signal! Amazon sells the lights for $19, but another vendor sells them through Amazon at a 7.50 sale price...so, not so bad. Maybe I'll get a scale so I can figure the real cost per lb. of my crop this time...but then, I'll have to factor that in as another cost.
