    Ever wondered what this Aerogarden was like? I decided to try my hands on this Aerogarden Harvest indoor hydroponic system that can easily fit on your kitchen counter and look at it from a gardener's perspective. Let's see how it works. This is an Aerogarden review from a gardeners perspective

    I love the aerogarden, I use mine to grow any random plant I feel like growing because they grow so big and healthy really fast, maybe because of all the oxygen and how easy it is to feed the plants properly. Ive grown peppers, tomatoes, petunias, melons, you name it. I thought 'water roots' from growing hydroponically would be a problem, but I've put all my plants directly into potting soil after a few weeks when they have big strong root systems and so far not a single plant has failed to thrive in the potting soil after being transplanted

    • @TheAdhdGardener
      @TheAdhdGardener  3 роки тому +6

      Yes the aerogarden is good on oxygen cuz the water is always moving. What I have experimented on was the Kratkey method(hydro but without a 02 bubbler) it worked super well with my lettuce(recently did a vid on that) im moving up to tomatoe, peppers n cabbage now with the kratkey

    reuse old pods from the starter kit, you dont even need the grow anything kit.
    Just really need the fertilizer, and even that has cheaper options of better quality.
    I have even grown a seed in the old pod holder with a cotton ball and rocks, it all works.

    • @chrisb__
      @chrisb__ Рік тому +1

      ​@@rickytanner3 you've got to cut the roots to remove a plant from the plastic cage-holder. This is why folks who use the aerogarden as a seed-starter stress that you should transplant seedlings that haven't had the time to develop a whole lot of crazy-long roots yet.
      If you use the aerogarden to start plants you're going to transplant, I recommend cutting away as much of the grow-sponge as is possible, the sponge drying out in the soil of a pot can strangle a plant's roots otherwise.

    Remember that you cannot let light get into the base water or you’ll get algae or mold. Roots are not made for light and if mint roots get light on them then they’ll sprout underneath the tray with holes. AG makes caps for the holes you don’t use, but old golf balls are the perfect size instead.

    I find that basil (genovese, marseille, neapolitan and Thai, especially) and some lettuces grow really well in this, other seeds, not so much. I have had this garden for about 8 months now, and I do like it. It definitely is nice to be able to get a few leaves of fresh basil for a dish and not have to buy a whole bunch at the market that will go bad before you get a chance to use it all. I have found that you can't grow all 6 pods at once, though. The plants get too crowded and begin to shade each other out or the lettuce grows mold in the center because there is not enough air circulation. Definitely a good kit to have if you are an avid gardener who goes through withdraws in the winter months!

      You're lucky the mint didn't do well. My experience with mint in an aerogarden was the plant growing outrageously well and it's roots trying to grow into parts of the machine that fountain water onto the grow-sponges. It was disastrous. 😆
      The best things to grow in the aerogarden are plants whose leaves you'll eat, like lettuces and basil, since those plants grow tremendously well. My experience with tomato plants was lackluster, a whole lot of time invested for very little product.

    I know this video is two years old but I love these tabletop hydroponic units. I use generic baskets/sponges and my own seeds. The one exception is I like the Aerogarden parthenocarpic cucumber pods. I have small (4 pod) units with my house plants. I grow micro dwarf varieties in a medium (6-8 pod) unit. I don’t use all the ports on these small/medium units and cover the holes. I use a larger (10-12 pod) unit to start seedlings that I transfer into DWC system. I live in a tiny condo but have five closets. I use the walk-in closet as a grow room. I have separate grow lights for the DWC system and small oscillating fans for ventilation and to help with pollination. I have a very tiny kitchen and don’t have space on the countertop for more than my sprouting jars. The lettuces and herbs fit in nicely with the house plants. I check all my plants daily. They’re my daily dose of mental health care.

I'm growing butter lettuce in one and baby bok choy in the other. Many kids seem intrigued by the whole process.

      @@TheAdhdGardener Awesome! I did the gallon milk jugs as well. Basically cut out a circle at the top with a box cutter and used 3" official net cups and others I made by soldering yogurt cups.
      The clear milk jugs are obviously prone to algae if you don't cover or spray paint them and have them parked in the actual sun.
      I think I also screwed some plants up because they developed the micro hair roots things and I thought it was fungus at first and rinsed the shit out of them. Whoops.
      I had a few things going pretty well, but I tend to need to have them in my face to be able to focus on them. I think hydroponics is a little more high maintenance than soil planting so far, but definitely good winter projects.
      I didn't have the thingamajigs to test the PPM or pH of the water. And I didn't get the CalMag till it was too late. Lol
      I have since gotten the pH meter and PPM sticks. My water is within range on the PPM, but in the high 7's to 8 on the pH meter.
