Watch this BEFORE you buy your FIRST AeroGarden!

They are "Erbs", not "Herbs". The "H" is silent.

The Pod replacement policy discouraged me from even using it. They want dates of purchase, manufacturing codes, make, model, and serial number of your unit (which is really fun to find when it's on the bottom and the reservoir is full of water!!) I've had many problems with their pods either not germinating or growing mold! It appears they are very time-sensitive, so I wouldn't stock up on Pods figuring you can use them next year bc they probably won't be viable. So, instead, I buy quality seeds and plant my own Pods. If one doesn't germinate, I can easily replace it with none of the hassles Aerogarden puts you through.

This video helped me make my decision. Thanks!

Notes: Most important - Grow height because that can impede plants you can grow. Don’t use all the holes. Cover holes you are not using to reduce mold. Use dwarf plants. Get small fan for air circulation. Get cal-mag.

Can you do a video for marijuana plant

Excellent video - thank YOU! 🌹🌱🌼

I have a VERY valuable tip: get the tiniest expanded clay pebbles you can find or if you already have a large bag of them sift or hand sort all the tiny ones you need to fill the grow basket and transplant rooted seedlings into these style gardens instead of using the expensive grow sponges. Use aluminum foil to prevent light entering. I will NEVER get ripped off on sponges again!

I saw a one star review left by a complete loon who was angry because the garden didn`t produce dwarf tomatoes in 14 days. I swear to God people are DANGEROUS nowadays!

THANK YOU! 'Height'! Who'd a thunk? Subscribed. In Arizona, so am researching indoors and low-light - so what are my options? Initially just want to grow 'something' hydroponically to watch it do its thing. 2nd or 3rd generation, I'll actually grow something 'useful'... I don't know... radishes? Thank you again.

Just massage pollinate with your fingers, or whatever is called specifically. For plants that actually need it.

Great information 👍

Nice. I wish this video was available before my first aerogarden purchase a few years ago.

Just bought my wife her first unit. Very informative. From house plants at christmas to herb garden for mothers day

We have 2 Harvest Elite's, I keep one of them with 6 Cilantro plants year round. We love fresh Cilantro. I start all my Bell pepper plants in them for my outside Garden. Note,,, if you have cats and do Bell peppers, you might have to make a card board shell to put around the plants. My silly Cat loves the new Bell pepper plants and will eat them down to the stem. Just got my Pepper plants in the garden outside so I am fixing to try doing some flowers in the one that does not have Cilantro. Also started and planted outside 4 Basil plants..

Can you place it near a stove top or is it dangerous because of the gas and plants like oxygen

They are great Gardens to have fun to grow your own save money in the long run too

Ty for all the info most appreciated 🤗

amazon sells good inexpensive brands of AFFLAT just like aerogardens but like 100 dollars or less

If the herbs are leaning over or laying flat should we use stakes to keep them upright?

Do you recommend "transplanting" the yield to a pot? My basils are doing great, so much so that they keep growing, so I wonder if I can keep them on the side while starting another yield.

Newbie looking to buy my first Aerogarden - wanting to get a Harvest Elite to only grow herbs in my kitchen. Is the slim better than the square one for herbs? Should I plant them all at once when only growing herbs? Any tips appreciated - Thanks.

These things are SO bad for the environment! All of the plastic supporting big oil, hydrocarbons, waste products from the pods, electrical use instead of the sun etc... Just gross. American consumerism at it's finest!@ yuck, The K cup of gardening

Cal-Mag. My daughter was growing tomatoes outside in her garden and they had blossom-end rot and I added the Cal-mag and her next group of tomatoes and they ended up being great. Follow the instructions on the label and I watered them with the Cal-mag every two weeks and got great results. I plan to follow the same procedure this year as well. Good info on the Aerogarden. I'm looking at Qt. Jars this year as well as the one aerogarden. I will also be planting on my patio to explore herbs in a strawberry tower.

i finally bought the harvest. i always wanted to try it out. i just want to grow lettuce and greens because im tired of buying them in the store and days later the kale or what ever i get and it goes bad. should be getting it soon and cant wait to start growing.

I planted basil celantro and sage. Nothing sprouted in weeks except one celantro. Do I have to get new pods or can I reuse the same ones that were duds.

I do have a question that I can't seem to find an answer to. I 'm hoping you can help me. The aerogarden lights are preprogrammed to come on and off depending on your choice of pods. I grown seeds before and they don't require light to germinate and generally require darkness to sprout. Should I shut off the light until I see them sprout or doesn't it matter in a hydroponic system?

Personally, I think these little gardens are a complete waste of money if you are serious about consuming what you grow on a regular basis.

Lets face it, you can grow lettuce or most anything in a much more productive manor.

Every single person I know who sees what I grow in my own set up always buys one of these things and plants an array of garden seeds dreaming of the salad they'll get from this little contraption and showing me how they didn't need to do all the things I did to get it., Bragging about their lettuce , squash , cucumber and tomato plants And every single one of them find out how these little grows really work. Some things you plant in it do well, but there isn't enough to bother with unless it herbs. I guess it depends on you

What about nutrients? Are they organic or lab made?

That hat 😊. Where can that be found?

Fill all the holes and prune aa you go. Don't grow plants that can't be pruned.

Do we need a Grow Anything kit to use our own seeds, or can we reuse seed pods that come with the unit that have been used up?

ive been asking so many questions about my sprouts, but the website doesnt have any answers. my herb sprouts are new and have some browning on the edges and im very concerned that if i do a rinse and refil to early ill hurt the baby sprouts. i did put all 6 herbs in my harvest slim, im just hoping it will still be okay and i wont have to throw any away. i am desperate for answers as i dont want my herb sprouts to die. ive looked it up and it said to rinse and refill. i was thinking of doing it as i think the cause might be i added in plant food to early- im not sure though and i want to fix the problem asap

Thanks for the info. I have 2 six hole ones...lettuce and tomatoes are all I've tried so far!

Very helpful information. Thank you! The comparison sheet is excellent and something I was looking for. I still don’t know what model I will buy from what manufacturer.

Ohhh Kiri. Please warn people that these things are ADDICTIVE! Get the biggest one you can afford, because trust me, you’re gonna want it!

Thanks for the video! I have the Harvest with 6 holes, and used the herb pre-seeded pods. Since it wasn't in the booklet I assumed it'd be fine to grow all the herbs together. If they weren't already sprouting I'd just switch them. Great video!

How often do you have to clean and do you change the water too every 2 weeks ??? lots of work I see

Thank you so much for posting this video. I started my Aerogarden journey a little over a week ago. Hopefully, these tips will increase my future success with this product.

Does the bounty basic let you set your own light schedule? I'm trying to use mine to clone/root plants and need to be able to have it on 24hrs and 12on/12off when needed

Thank you so much for the insight. I love growing fresh herbs and plants so I don’t need the store every week. I wanted a garden that would pay me back but lost on how these work and what’s best ❤

Where do you find the dwarf seeds ? I’m interested but can’t find them 😅

LOVE THIS VIDEO. Really good points that I agree I would have loved to know all these before I went shopping. You are helping so many people with your videos. Great content!

Thank you fro thsi video. I just received mine tonight and set it up. I was wondering about the light. And when it turns off. I have the Harvest slim 6 pods. . A first timer lol.

I have 2 Harvest XL , what kind of fan do I get?

I’m having trouble getting seeds to germinate or grow. Water is good and seeds do fine in other media. What should I do?

Did you ever compare the Nutrients values of growing Plants using the Aero Garden system versus growing plants outside in Natural enriched soil? Some say you would get more nutrients in growing in soil (Like 80% more) compared in growing with Aero Garden. Is there a way to fix this difference by adding more nutrients or minerals to the water?🤔 ❤ 👍 👁

Hi. I’ve had problems with fruit flies. Do you have any suggestions how to prevent that? Thank you.

Big Smile
Thanks so much ! Yes I am feeling very much “overwhelmed and confused” !

I have the aero elite harvest model and my cat just ate my dill seedling 🌱

I sent away for a safe cat barrier but I would think they would have a lot better instruction guide .

Thankfully I found you !
🌸👱🏼‍♀️🌸

No replacement lights..after they burn out you gave to buy a whole new unit.

Wow, this was very helpful. Thank you. 🙏
