AeroGarden 901101-1300Harvest White

We've had a six-foot-tall aeroponic vegetable tower for more than a decade and rely on it a LOT for swiss chard, kale, broccoli, lettuces, tomatoes, etc. but lettuces only grow well in the winter due to intense summer heat. The notion of a small one for smaller plants like herbs and delicate lettuces in our air-conditioned kitchen handy for use made it a natural gift for spouse. The downside is that it is a bright light source so it's important to consider that in deciding "where to put it". We use only Reverse Osmosis water for all aeroponics because of extremely hard tap water. It is really very nearly hands-off to maintain, fed on schedule and water kept topped off, it does everything else with built-in timers and water pump. Already bought another for a Christmas gift. If I was doing it again for us I would opt for the larger one but the one I bought was on an Amazon special price at the time. Don't expect it to be something that gives you a full meal every day. But it can contribute to meals several days a week and it is best if you DO keep harvesting limited amounts so the plants can respond easily to the loss of leaves. And it makes a great nibble-opportunity for "drive-by grazing" anytime.
