Last year I received an AeroGarden for Christmas. Planted it immediately and was excited watching the garden greens growing that I rushed to the computer and ordered me two more so I could grow herbs and cherry tomatoes too.

Well, on all three the motors went out and I had to call and get replacements and install them myself. Customer Service is very friendly and helpful and the motors were pretty simple to install. Now one of those motors has quit on me.

These are not "set it and forget it" machines. Once your plants start growing they need frequent water adding. The greens grow quickly but still not enough for several salades at a time. The herbs....well cilantro is my favorite and two out of two times the cilantro never grew. The basil grows like crazy and seems to take over quickly. The mint stayed small.

Tomatoes, I love. But not these. After months of carefully following directions and tending to them, I got about 20 cherry tomatoes. Now those 20 cherry tomatoes had cost me....$149 for the Aero Garden and 19 for the seed packet. Pretty expensive tomatoes wouldn't you say.

I am very dissappointed with my AeroGarden's and thought I would share my experience.

Have you tried these? If so, please share your experience here. Hopefully you will have the secret that makes these worth all the money I spent on them.

I hadn't heard of them before, but might have walked right into buying one, since I would so much like a little herb "garden" year round.

Glad you forewarned us, Boberg, thanks!
