I received this as a birthday present last year, and just love it!  Right now I'm growing mint, two basil, thyme, dill, parsley and chives.  The chives are a bit of a disappointment, a bit sparse, but the basil and dill are going great guns.  Considering that a lot of the herbs I used to buy at the grocery store would end up in the compost or oganic waste bin, I can use every sprig that I harvest!  Salad greens are next.

I've always wanted one of these.

Do you need an intensively sunny window to make it work?

Very cool. I want one.

I've wondered about these. Sounds like yours is doing great. Maybe I can have an herb garden in my apartment after all.

That is neat. I wish I could have one, the cats would eat it all and I wouldn't be able to enjoy it.

Dorine H. no sunny window required, it comes with high intensity light bulbs. I'll upload another photo so you can see the whole unit. Kimberly G. I have two cats. I placed the unit on my kitchen counter, where they KNOW they're not allowed, and I've had no problems. The manufacturers website is www.aerogrow.com (sorry, I don't know how to do links in comments!). I can't vouch for them because I ordered mine through a Canadian distributor, since I'm located in Canada. The model I have is the Pro200. Wish I could afford another one, these things are addictive.

Oh you lucky dog! I have been eying those since they came out. Every time I go to buy myself one, I chicken out. So far, pots in the bay window work fine for me, but the Aerogarden sure would save some space.

I tried that (minus the bay window, don't have one), but the darned cats kept digging in the soil! Besides which, although I can garden outdoors just fine, everything that I have tried growing indoors just dies!!

We enjoy doing that too, but havent seen such a display

I was planning on getting one of these, don't think I'd use it though. Looks like it's working out well for you!
Denise C. Jan 5, 2009, 10:04am EST
I have looked into these and am thinking of getting one!
Erika S. Jan 5, 2009, 6:00pm EST
That's pretty nifty. I may have to try that too.
Chloe A. Jan 6, 2009, 10:22am EST
I really enjoy having one of these. Just this morning I made scrambled eggs with fresh basil and fresh thyme. I also use quite a lot of the herbs for making herb breads. What can I say, I love to eat!

I received an aerogarden for Christmas. so far I love it. I love watching it grow. I planted mega cherry tomato seed pods. my aerogarden only came with 2 seed pods. is that how all of them are? I had to put the spacers in the rest of the openings.

Yah, Aerogardens are awesome..... I got one for Christmas also, and I am just starting to see stuff come to full growth... it's amazing.
