I've been biten by the Aero-bug.

[draggar]

Big time.

Two weeks ago I got an Aerogarden from Amazon.com for $105 (7 pod) and the salad greens kit. It's been doing exceptionally well. No harvesting yet but I'm sure i can within a week, two tops.

I like it so well that I got two more 3 pod Aerogardens ($30 at their site) plus the salsa kit. I'm even considering getting a third 3-pod one when I get paid next week.

Yep, I've been bitten by the bug.

Its worth it, in my opinion. I've had a pretty successful harvest of herbs this whole last year. Its been amazing.

I've been eyeing those for so long now, but just have not had the money to afford them. but one of these days...

<envious sigh>

I'm putting them on my Christmas List again this year so the In-Laws (mother/father/bros) can get me it.

They seem fantastic! I want some fresh herbs without paying out of the wahzoo for the stuff in the grocery stores.

Plus Amazon.com has the 7 pod for about $100 now - great price for it.

Alas, I don't even think I have $30 in my bank account at this point... :(

BUT, my birthday is a week from tomorrow. While I don't feel that even if I told my family about this site they'd get it in time, maybe if I get some birthday moneys...hrmm... possibilities.

Thanks for tempting me, draggar. :p

I have 6 :D

My genovese basil is the bomb, we *have* to make spaghetti at least once a week with the top 4 inches of it or it grows into the light and burns the poor little leaves on top. My tomato plant is insanely fast growing, but it sucks up the water and nutrients like there is no tomorrow.

Salad, nomnomnom =) and herbs for dressing, and I just planted green beans and a white habanero plant.

and it keeps me from getting SAD in the gloom of winter!

[lupo pazzesco]

That's right, AccountingDrone... Rub it in... :p

I really really really want some...for the salad, herbs and tomatoes? Ohh, I buy SO many tomatoes on a weekly basis, one of my FAVORITE things to eat!!

[draggar]

Sadly, you can't mix in match herbs with veggies with salad greens. :(

(Hence why I am getting two 3-pod ones and maybe another one).

[lupo pazzesco]

I know you can't mix or match, but the thought of having enough to get all 3? Ah, what a dream. :)

First harvest! I vut back the lettuce and had some as is (nom nom nom nom nom nom nom nom) plus I had a sandwich with a lot of it - wow is it good!!

I have decided this is what I will be buying when I have the money:

* Salsa Garden Seed Kit (7 pod) since I just finished my last batch of aromatic herbs and washed out the areogarden. I find that I find myself drying a lot of the herbs because we don't use them fast enough and I'm constantly buying tomatoes/peppers. why not switch it out, no?

* replacement bulbs as it is time to replace them in a few months.

* Another 7 pod aerogarden.

* Spring & autumn bouquet to beat the winter blues. (The consumables are great, don't get me wrong and the green helps in these cold months but I miss my color!)

* a three pod garden

* Fresh Tea Seed kit. We're a bunch of tea drinkers in this casa.

:devil:

I adore my hydroponics ... I dont have space for them but I designed a similar hydro system to grow 45 heads of boston butter numminess ... it has a 45 day growing cycle, so I would plant them a few at a time, and then as I harvested my daily salad, I would stick in another seed for the future salad... *sigh*

If we move to a much larger house, the one my great grandfather built, I would have a perfect spot for it, the servants nook off the kitchen. And I could put the rest of the aerogardens on the other 2 walls.Talk about a little slice of heaven :)

I just got an AG-7 that was purchased this summer off of Craig's List for $45. No seed kit but other than that and it's a little dirty it's in great shape - working well (no pods but the pump is working).

I can't wait for my salsa kit to come in this week!!

Angelic - look on CL, I'm sure you can find some there cheap! The 3-pod gardens are on clearance at the Aerogarden store for $30 each - incredible buy, I bought two and I'm thinking of buying 1-2 more!

These things are like rabbits!

If anyone wants to see how my collection is (and has been) growing:

nice=)

Word of warning about the genovese basil ... you have to keep after it or it will try to rule the world! It can literally grow 6 inches in a week. I am glad I only had planted ONE plant, we can only eat so much basil in a week!

Did you get chives as well? If so it may prove disappointing, the first chive pod I planted only sprouted and grew one lonely chive plant, so I figured that I would just yoink it out and replant with the second chive pod that came with a different kit, and so far it only has one lonely chive as well - in the piccys it looks like a full 8 or 10 plants have sprouted and are growing, but so far I am batting .0 on chives.
