| I got this for Christmas and chose to wait and start my seeds for my garden and window boxes. I set it up on Sunday and by Tuesday I was seeing green. It's been less than 1 week and nearly all of the 70 pods have some growth. Some of these seeds took weeks to sow the traditional way. I covered the tray with plastic wrap, I have had to use tooth picks to lift it off the plants. Just use the lights during the day (lite up my whole house at night). I have not noticed any unpleasant smells. It's fantastic, a bit expensive but worth it to get up expensive seeds. |
Awesome!

| I like my aerogarden. I've got a first kit and like to have fresh herbs to cook with. The gaden starter tray is awesome. It's now 2 weeks that I have place the seeds in. A mix of veggies, annual and perrenial. I cannot wait to place them in my garden/yards. |
simple

I just like the aerogrow and am pleased to say in spite of the terrible reviews i am pleased with the plugs.
I have been able to start all sorts of plants I was unable to before such as petunias and have transplanted them with no distress into either pots or the garden some without even hardening off first which is a real no no.
I have just ordered the refill plugs and am nervous to start planting more. |
Works well, not as fancy as i had hoped, but still excellent

I had previously bought the master gardener kit for my aerogarden with the intention to start my garden herbs and veggies indoors and to later transplant them outside. The drawbacks this design were that I could only start 7 plants at a time, and all of the refill components are proprietary. :(
Then I learned this starter tray - which solves the "7 at a time" problem. You can conceivably start 70 plants at once, though it would be better to stagger the starts to give them more room to grow. It is still a proprietary refill but. The plugs that fill the 70 holes are made of the same material as "perfect starts", which is a spongy brown peat-like material which holds water for a long time. And of course the nutrients are only from Aerogarden as well. You can find some alternatives from Hydroponic stores, which would be much cheaper.
The only part of this kit that surprised me was that it is simply a huge molded piece of styrofoam that floats in your aerogarden. It has the 70 holes and plugs ready to seed and the nutrients... but that is it! I don't really know what else I was expecting, perhaps a plastic top similar to the top with the 7 holes, or something with a pump...
So altogether, it works well- you can start lots of seeds for your outdoor garden, and it is very simple to get excellent results. The only reason it gets 4 stars out of 5 is that the refill plugs are proprietary and come from aerogarden only. |
