Excellent Product so far! by J. Smith (Delaware, USA)  5 Stars
November 04, 2009
I purchased these and was replacing ones that I previous had in there, because I was moving several hours away from my current house and didn't want to try and travel with a full Aerogarden. Every single seed has germinated and the plants look really healthy, they are starting to get flowers on them now, the only negative that we see is that we also use Cilantro in our salsa mix and if this had a Cilantro section that we could use would make it 10X better.

The Good and Not So Good seeds by Christopher Robert Mohr (Homeland, CA USA)  4 Stars
October 26, 2009
The AeroGarden is an excellent product. The Romaine lettuce seeds I am reviewing are doing very well so far. Not so for the Cherry tomato seeds. The several batches of Cherry Tomato seeds I have gotten will only grow so far and then seem to grow extremely slowly. None have produced any fruit. I am doing much better with Micro Tom tomato seeds I have purchased from a seed company. I do highly recommend the Romaine lettuce seeds however.

A Must Have!! by OrangeCrush (Farmington Hills, MI USA) 5 Stars
October 08, 2009
Aerogardens are amazing. With very little effort you can grow fresh herbs and produce right in your own kitchen, or anywhere else in your house for that matter. Overall Aerogarden offers a great line of seed pods however with that being said, most Aerogarden owners are at some point going to be tempted to plant something that isn't available and that is where the Master Gardener Kit come into play. It really opens up the world of indoor gardening by allowing you to plant your own seeds. We wanted to plant catnip as not only do we have multiple cats, so does everyone else in my family. I also am a big Bonsai tree aficionado and this kit allows me to use my Aerogarden to start my Bonsai seedlings. This kit gives you a year's worth of seed pods and nutrients.
The bottom line - Aerogardens are great but they would be severely limited if it wasn't for the Master Gardener Kit. This kit really opens up the world of indoor gardening. A must have for every Aerogarden owner!!

I got six seeds pods and for some reason three of them did not come but I am happy I am not sure if there were seed in the other pods but it's ok.

Common sense by trikar57 (Mill Hall, PA) 4 Stars
August 24, 2009
I have owned my Aerogarden since last Christmas. The first thing I planted were the herbs. The dill grew the best. The others did very well except the chives, which only sprouted about a dozen. Next, I planted the romaine, I had one that didn't sprout, but it grew for well over four months, and every time I pruned it, I extended the life a little longer. Now, I have the chili peppers, and they are huge!
I have a very brown thumb, and was dubious as to whether I could make this work. It has far exceeded my expectations. A few things to note from the other reviews...... A good dose of common sense serves well here. Some seeds don't sprout. This is true in EVERY type of garden no matter what you do. While annoying, the yield is still so bountiful, that it is well worth the money. Growing the chili peppers, I now understand why you only get three tomato plants. This probably should have been the case for the peppers as well. The large plants are overshadowing the super hots, and the root systems are incredible. I have found that I need to add water every few days now since the plants have gotten so big they are drinking a lot more.
Finally, one of the biggest keys I have found is diligent pruning. Every time I pruned my herbs, they got even fuller. The same is true of the romaine, and one of the most important things to remember with the peppers is shake the plants daily to pollenate them.
For those who expect this product to "work perfectly" and require no effort whatsoever, you may be a bit disappointed. With a little effort, and some good old fashioned TLC this system works beyond my greatest expectations. When I think of how much money I have spent on fresh herbs through the years, even a plant that doesn't sprout now and then is tolerable when the yield of all the others is so good.
I would recommend this system to anyone. I am very very pleased!
