Very Happy Harverster at One Month
5 out of 5 stars
Very Happy Harverster at One Month
When I want to try something new, I tend to dive right in. I wanted to try everything at once (not just herbs), but my space is quite limited. Thus, I purchased four of the Harvest units and several sets of seed kits. One month in and I am loving them so much I had to write a review.Before I get into what I planted, here's a few things to consider. The grow lights are on for 15 hour increments. You can adjust the time they turn on by pressing and holding the light indicator at the time you want it to turn on each day. You can also turn them on or off manually by tapping the indicator light. The lights snap to five different heights. In my picture, the first two are at the lowest level, third at the middle level and the last I raised to the highest for the picture, but lowered it back down to the middle height. One last thing about the grow lights. My eyes are quite sensitive to bright lights, be it sun light, headlights or phone screens, but the grow lights on these don't bother my eyes dispite being very bright.As for the indicator light for lights, it is always on and quite bright. I have these set up in my bedroom of all places, so to solve that issue, I've covered the indicator lights with a strip of red Tail Light Tape.The watering cycle turns on every 25 minutes, 24/7 and runs for 5 minutes. I already sleep with ear plugs, so not a problem for me. I have noticed the dripping gets louder if you let the water get low, so be sure to keep it topped off as they recommend.Now for what I planted (left to right in the picture). I have the herbs that come with it in the first unit. I did have a dud thyme which I swapped out after 20 days. (It grew fuzz instead.) The new one showed leaves in 3 days. Woohoo! It is still small, I still have the Grow Dome on it. From the Q&A section, I see you can contact Aerogarden for a replacement, but as I received a set of herb pods with each Harvest I bought, I didn't need to that.To allow the slow growers to get there share of light, I've already pruned/harvested dill four times, basil two time and Thai basil once. Speaking of Thai basil, I never tried this herb before, but found a delightful idea online for three cup chicken which I made last night. My roommate even told me I have to make that again for her. Not a problem as I will have a constant supply of that herb soon enough. The regular basil has turned into little appetizers with mozzarella balls and tomatoes. Can't wait to make these with home grown tomatoes as it is still store-bought in the picture.My second unit is filled with six Salad Greens Mix pods. Already harvested five bowls of salad for myself, and I've stopped ordering lettuce from the store. I harvest by picking off the largest leaves. My goal is to keep it below the lights at the lowest setting, but hard to keep up with these fast growing leaves. Looks like I'll be sharing it with my neighbors before long. They already took some of the dill off my hands.The third and fourth units have tomato and bell pepper plants. I used two of the Red Heirloom Cherry Tomato pods. They are the larger, faster growing tomato plants. I already trimmed some of the branches that were reaching too far out. I can see a few flower buds starting to form, so I have my Be the Bee Pollinator prepped with batteries and ready to go once they open.I used the Grow Anything Pods using a few seeds from a yellow bell pepper and an overripe grape tomato. Both sprouted nicely. The grape tomato seedlings turned yellow for a bit, but finally started to grow nicely. As for the bell pepper, I will need to wait and see if I can keep a  plant at a manageable size in a Harvest unit.If you managed to read though my mini novel, you get one last word of caution. The fertilizer is on the pricy side. I accidentally bought one 3oz bottle for almost $20 on Amazon. Looks like the price has dropped now, but I found it much cheaper to purchase directly from the aerogarden website, caveat being you can manage meet the minimum amount for free shipping. They frequently have sales and you can checkout using Amazon Pay. At the speed I go through it with four units, I thought it better to purchase the 1 liter bottle size.Happy growing!!

This is my most favorite purchase!!! I can bro fresh herbs, flowers, and tea varieties right on my kitchen counter. The light stays on for about 15 hours so if you don’t have a way to get away from it, you may not like it, but it’s okay for me. It’s easy to use and it works great. It’s very quiet, the pump works great and there’s no leaks whatsoever. There’s some areas on the inside that are a little hard to get to in order to clean it. I love mine and it’s definitely worth it!

For the first time ever, I’ve been able to grow and keep herbs alive! The aero garden is so easy to use, and has flashing light indicators reminding you to add water or plant food. The lights turn on/off automatically. It’s so easy to set up and get started - pretty much just drop in the pods, fill up water/food and let it do its thing. I just need to find more recipes using the herbs because they grow faster than we consume them!

I've seen ads for these things for years and thought they had to be the biggest white elephant known to man - some vaguely more sophisticated cousin of the Chia Pet. Wrong wrong wrong wrong wrong!

This thing is great. It does everything it says and more, is easy to use, and will give me fresh greens all winter.
I'm looking forward to having bright fresh greens while blizzards rage outside - and this gives more than enough for one person - I have trouble keeping up with a few things. It's given me more beautiful dill than I can use, by a mile (the photo is less than half the dill that I finally had to hack back because it was crowding other things).

Best part is that this is almost zero work. Top off the water every now and then (up to every day or two as the plants get bigger) and add two capfuls of plant food every two weeks when the light goes on. Could. Not. Be. Easier.

I learned a few things from my first round, so here are some helps and hints:

- I started with only four items, planning on planting the other two after 2-3 weeks so my harvests would be staggered. Mistake. This stuff grows so fast that the greenery from my first round blocked the light from getting to the later plantings. I spent a few weeks trying to pull back the higher stuff to create a path for the light to the newer stuff but finally gave up. Learned for next time, though.

- Ditto with not putting things that take a few weeks to sprout (the plant cone has est sprout time written on the top) next to things that sprout in days or the later items may struggle to get light. Next time I'll arrange plants so that things with similar sprout times are somewhat together.

- This one's no joke. Plant things that you will use a lot. Things like basil, parsley and chives can go on almost everything, but uses for something like dill are more limited. Next round I will favor things that are versatile and have wide use, because this grows A LOT of everything.

- And final comment on balance, next time I will plant maybe four salad greens and two herbs. You use the greens in more volume, so they will balance out with the herbs if you plant more. So 4-2 or maybe 3-3

- The light is really, really bright. Pick a place where it's easy to walk to from the kitchen with a bowl and scissors, but not in your face where it could get irritating. If you cycle it on during the day, it won't be so intrusive. This thing throws zero heat, so you can block the light easily if needed with stacked items or even a paper bag over top.

- The bigger your plants get, the more they suck up the water. At first I only had to top off the water once a week or so. Now I'm adding about a pop bottle of water every few days. I worry about what happens when travel resumes because I can see it running out quickly when I'm not here. There is a model of AeroGarden with a vacation mode that adjust lights so the plants grow less and need less water while you're away, and if I get a second AG, it will have the vacation mode.

That's it! This thing really works and is a lot of fun. For a single-person household, it almost works too good because there's a lot of greens to eat! I will solve that by using better balance and targeted selection of plants for the next round.

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.

5.0 out of 5 stars I love the aerogarden harvest

I got one for myself after a long delebration and planted all the gourmet herbs that came with it. They all did great. I wish it came with seeds that I liked like tomatoes and strawberries. I eventually transplanted the herbs to pots and I'm now growing strawberries with the harvest (with my own seeds).

It is easy to assemble and maintain, and the water and plant food reminders are quite handy. Overall, great purchase for people who love to watch plants grow.

3.0 out of 5 stars Aphids can be a problem

Overall I love the aerogarden but the lettuces I grew were infested with aphids and no matter what I did I was not able to get rid of them. Finally I threw the lettuces away. The aphids were not in the house prior to starting the seed pods and since the lettuce has gone they are greatly decreased. So, love the idea but hated having to take everything apart and clean every few weeks trying to solve the aphid problem. The basil is growing amazingly well and so is the parsley. The thyme did not germinate.

This works exactly as described. Simple to use and works extremely well. The lights are very bright so if you are having it in a living area you might want to screen it off for the evening time. You do have to watch for the watering level once the plants get a little bigger. I am very happy with the results and would purchase again.

5.0 out of 5 stars My second unit!

I loved the Aerogarden I got for Christmas so much that I ordered a second one. The herbs grow like weeds and I'm constantly pruning and using them. Just started some lettuce 9 days ago and they're already growing. Can't wait for fresh salads.
The Aerogarden community online (esp Reddit) is also really supportive and have lots of advice and tips too.
