AeroGrow AeroGarden with Gourmet Herb Seed Kit, Black

Childrens Toy Shop > Outdoor Living > Plants and Planting
from: Aerogrow

February 10, 2007
I have had my Aerogarden since May'08, and as of this review, 11/13/08, the first seed kit is still going.

All you have to do is read the directions, takes about 5 mins, and turn it on. 7 weeks later I had fresh herbs to use in my cooking.

Do you know how great it is to put fresh basil on all of your italian dishes? Without even going to the store?

I love to cook, and using the fresh herbs has opened up a new arena.

Some of these herbs are $5 for 4 oz at the store in those little plastic containers. This is right in your home.

The "value" of it will pay for itself in the long run, but defiantly, not within the first year of so.

Flat out, this is a great machine, ... Read More:

EasyBloom Plant Sensor

Childrens Toy Shop > Outdoor Living > Plants and Planting
from: Plant Sense


I have to admit that I am a gardening newbie. I want to make my yard look nicer and can certainly do my own planting, but am always stumped by not knowing what will work where.. This is the product that helps me with that. As to the earlier comment about soil and fertility testing, that would be good but I live in California and that never tends to really be a big issue in most places. It is usually water and light..

Anyway, love the product and I am buying a few more as Xmas gifts for my sisters.

Tomatoes are growing as stated. Everyting is fine so far. Product is a bit pricey. That is the only negative I can see.

Felknor Ventures 82506 Topsy Turvy Upside-Down Tomato Planter

Childrens Toy Shop > Outdoor Living > Plants and Planting
from: Felknor Ventures


Tried them. Plants die for either the pressure from too much water at first or not enough water the next day. Once the full sun hits the bag, basically it gets so hot inside the bag regardless of the outside air temp that the roots cook or the water dries up. I did not take an actual temp reading but when I finally gave up and dumped one out to feel the dirt, it was as hot as the decaying dirt in my compost pile. Heat that is part of why a compost pile destroys weeds, etc. Bad idea that is presented well on TV. Do not bother. Total waste of time. If you need to hang your veggies just get a hanging basket with peat moss etc., and hang them the right side up.

Aqua Globes Watering Bulbs 2-pk.

Childrens Toy Shop > Outdoor Living > Plants and Planting
from: Idea Village


These globes work too well. They kept my plants so consistently damp that after 10 days I had to remove them because mold was growing on the top of the soil around the spout.

AeroGarden PRO100 with Gourmet Herb Seed Kit

Childrens Toy Shop > Outdoor Living > Plants and Planting
from: Aerogrow

May 29, 2007
This is definitely the size you want if you are growing cherry tomatoes. The standard size was just too small and at the highest light setting, the tomatoes were growing past and burning. I would have liked to know when to plant the salad in conjunction with the tomatoes because it looks like the salad will be finished growing before the tomatoes are ready to eat.

If growing the cherry tomatoes, you really do want the trellis system because it is next to impossible to rig up something to fit. I ended up cutting a piece of plastic fencing to wrap around the whole unit to hold the plants upright. They seriously fall over and look like they are going to fall out.

AeroGarden Classic Replacement Grow Bulbs, Package of 2

Childrens Toy Shop > Outdoor Living > Plants and Planting

I purchased my first AeroGarden 2 years ago and I just now needed to replace the lights. They lasted much longer than the company said they would. I recently purchased a second AeroGarden and am growing cherry tomatoes in one and romaine in the other! I truly have a black thumb, so I have been amazed at the success I've had with the AeroGarden!

AeroGarden Space-Saver 6 with Gourmet Herb Seed Kit - Black

Childrens Toy Shop > Outdoor Living > Plants and Planting
from: Aerogrow


I'm very happy Aerogarden decided to make a slightly smaller unit; their regular gardens take up so much space.

The Spacesaver comes in a huge box, but does not weigh much at all. The bulk of the box (and the unit) is nothing but some pieces of plastic. Installation is a breeze (if you read the manual correctly) and when it is all put together you do end up with a pretty sturdy setup, I just can't help feel that it is all rather cheap for the price.

The unit itself has a neat control panel with indicators for all the various settings. All in all a good item, and a perfect gift if you can find it at the right price.

Krinner 20" XXL GenieTree Stand #94720

Childrens Toy Shop > Outdoor Living > Plants and Planting
from: Krinner


The tree stand is the best one I ever have had. It was so easy to use. My husband held the tree straight and I pumped the handle a few times and the tree is extremely stable - straight too. There is a water level indicator that pops up. I put the tree skirt around it so I can tell if I need to put in more water easily. I heartily recommend it.

AeroGarden Salad Chef Pack

Childrens Toy Shop > Outdoor Living > Plants and Planting
from: Aerogrow


The AeroGarden had been so fun to use, and the Salad Chef Pack is especially gratifying in that I can just pluck a few leaves and put it on a sandwich or make a small salad. The grandkids think this is just the best idea ever. I purchased the AeroGarden for my father who has been a gardener for years. He still loves the outdoor activity of his garden (at 92) but is having a good time with this as well. He shows his great granddaughters how it works, shows them when the plants start growing, has them help harvest, and makes tasty treats for them. Now, how much more fun could you want?
