aero garden harvest white

The Quick Bottom Line: Yes, I’d definitely buy it again—mostly because it grows herbs, but also because it saves me from stubbing my toes at 2 AM while looking for a snack.The Pros:• Navigation: The LED grow light is bright enough to light up the whole kitchen for a midnight snack run to the fridge.• Compact: It has a small footprint; I put mine on the kitchen counter and I warned my neighbours to ignore the bright light in my kitchen that I was becoming a vegetable mama.• Set-up: Super easy to get started—basically "plug and play."The Cons:• Brightness: Be warned, the light is bright.• Pump Noise: You can hear a tiny trickle of water sometimes to me it sounds like a mini waterfall.

I really enjoy this unit , very easy to use and setup . Very quiet can't hear it even standing next to it . Very bright light and will stay on for 15 hrs so put it somewhere at night where the light won't bother you . I planted it on Dec28th 2021 and this picture is from today Jan 18th 2022 , 2 of the plants did not come up the mint and the thyme but I guess if you go to the website you can get a replacement pods .Nice little unit takes up little space and would recommend this unit .

I received one Aerogarden Harvest as a gift from my in-laws for Christmas. It came with the heirloom salad greens kit. We had sprouts less than 1 week after starting, and it provided salad greens for nearly 4 months before the plants matured and stopped producing more leaves. This provided 2-3 large salads per week for two adults. Some weeks we had 3-5 small side salads for two adults, per week.The lights on the base tell you when it needs more water and when to add more food. I have a reputation as a black thumb and it made me really happy to have such great success with growing plants. In 2022 I think everyone should be doing something to produce some of their own food, due to the supply chain crisis and crazy inflation rates that just keep going up. It's added a lot to my peace of mind knowing if nothing else I can grow my own salads. I realize it will take a while for the savings of my grocery bill to offset the initial cost of the aerogarden, but it's really empowering to feel that I can provide even a little of my own food right now.I have enjoyed the Aerogarden so much that I ordered a second unit which I have been using for growing herbs. I got the herb kit from Aerogarden and had very mixed results with this. The mint got an aphid infestation after a few weeks, when the mint plant was very large. This surprised me because all the articles about aphids that i read suggest adding mint to your garden because aphids are "supposed" to dislike mint. The dill and basil grew INSANELY well. I've harvested and dried dill and basil three times in the past 2 months. I filled 5/6 trays in my Cosori dehydrator with each batch. The thyme has stayed very small and the parsley also didn't grow very well.So, I think that the success of the Aerogarden is a bit situational and depends on the type of plant you are trying to grow. Salads are easy and very successful. Herbs.... your mileage may vary. Also, the size of the plants can sometimes be a hinderance to the growth of different plants in the same unit, or easily harvesting the leaves. I had a much easier time harvesting when the entire planter had only the same type of plant growing in it. For example, the basil plants got so large that they completely shaded the thyme and parsley because these grew much slower at the start of the garden. The basil had so many leaves that I had a little difficulty accessing the plants in the center of the planter. So I don't think i will ever try to grow large plants such as tomatoes or peppers in the aerogarden, simply for the convenience of being able to easily access any other plants in the unit.i am actually considering buying a THIRD aerogarden so I can have two units both growing a large variety of salad greens so that we have enough greens for two adults to have a large salad every single night.

Great product and fun activity. It works as intended and I had no problems while using it.

I had Aerogardens years ago and wound up selling them. Now I'm doing Kratky jars inside for transplanting outside to my half-acre garden. I mostly direct-seed what I grow here in Zone 8a, but things like tomatoes still need to be started indoors. While I have the 1020 trays and all that paraphernalia, I just don't have the space for them. (Santa, please bring me a greenhouse this year!) So I decided to pick up this basic Aerogarden Harvest and the matching seed-starting tray for the sole purpose of getting my tomato transplants started indoors without too much fuss.This is a tidy little 6-pod unit. It's not the one I would have chosen if I were planning to grow a lot of salad veggies indoors, but it fits very nicely on my desk and the lights are bright enough to serve as a desk lamp without any other lights turned on. I bought it specifically because a 23-pod seed-starting tray is available for it, which I purchased at the same time. This will be dedicated to starting my tomatoes and growing them until they are large enough to transfer to Kratky jars and then on out into the garden.I have another knock-off Aerogarden that's a pain to work with. It's got 12 pods and is larger, which wouldn't be so bad if it weren't for the fact that you have to unplug and take the whole thing to the sink to clean it. This Aerogarden Harvest has a lift-out water reservoir that's easy to unhook from the main unit, and I far prefer the little water-viewing cut-out on the top of the tray to the side window on my knock-off unit; I can never see the water level because the light is always wrong. The way this Harvester unit is designed, checking water level is simple and straightforward.
