So good, my black thumb couldn't kill these herbs!
By Beth on Reviewed in the United States on April 27, 2017
I have managed to kill all manner of houseplants, so I didn't have high hopes for this. Against all odds, the plants in my Aerogarden are thriving! I'm producing enough basil to make pesto on a regular basis, and the mint keeps me in mojitos. I have even made cuttings from the plants in the Aerogarden and transplanted them to small pots. The plants in the Aerogarden (especially the basil) grow astonishingly fast, and they take very little maintenance. I add water every day to two, add fertilizer every couple weeks, and periodically prune away any part that is trying to blossom. Adding fresh herbs has really improved my cooking. I get tons of compliments on meals I make using herbs from the Aerogarden. I buy replacement seed pods straight from the Aerogarden website so I can choose the mix I want, and I transplant the plants to pots once I get bored of them. (You have to cut the plastic off and cut some of the roots to separate the plants, but they bounce back really quickly.) So far, I've grown genovese basil, thai basil, lemon basil, rosemary, sage, cilantro, mint, lavender, oregano, dill, chives, parsley, tomatoes, and peppers. I have only had two pods that failed to grow, and Aerogarden replaced them right away.

Not bad, but not great either
By DanZ on Reviewed in the United States on March 12, 2019
I bought this AeroGarden as a Christmas gift for my Wife and it seemed pretty easy to set up and get working. However, there were some problems: 1) One of the pods (curly parsley) didn't grow at all, 2) we received 2-thai basil pods instead of 1 and didn't receive any mint pod, and 3) eventually the thai basil completely took over the entire space, pretty much killing off all of the other pods. 3 months later and all we're getting is a boatload of thai basil, but only was able to harvest some dill otherwise. Disappointed in the pod performance more than the machine. On the other hand, the machine does hum in such a way that I keep making sure that my gas range is off (which is not necessarily a negative).
