Grow more vegetables and herbs with an AeroGarden and grow the quickly compared to traditional gardening!

Powered by Mom was lucky enough to receive an Aerogarden Elite of her very own to review! Let me tell you were are loving it too as I LOVE fresh herbs. Herbs provide not only a wonderful fragrance in the home but as many of you know they enhance the flavor of foods. Before when I remembered I would buy fresh basil and oregano two of my favorite herbs so that I could cook with them. There's no better taste to food than fresh herbs, once you've had it you can't go back to anything else. Spaghetii is a favorite dish in our home because of my spaghetii sauce where I use you guessed it fresh basil and oregano among a few other spices :).

The AeroGarden was easy to set up and we just placed the pods from our herb seedling pack on the tray that can hold up to 6 different pods. Our pods were all herbs, three different types of basil (oh yum), oregano, mint & dill! I was so excited to try to grow dill as I have tried it a few other times over the years the traditional way both indoors and outdoors and I've never been able to keep it alive!

As it states in the instructions you start to see some growth by about two weeks, in our case for some of them it was even less. Let me tell you once they start to grow it happens quickly. The AeroGarden even lets you know by indicator lights when it's time to give it more water or food, this is perfect for me the person who forgets to water her plants.

Here's what some of ours looked like after ONLY 11 days!

  3. I use to have one of these they are really amazing, everyone should have one, if for nothing but growing your own fresh herbs for cooking..

  4. This looks like one of the best inventions they have come up with in years. Your very own herb garden in your kitchen 🙂 and it tells you when it needs water... I have got to get one of these.

  5. I've been very interested in these ever since I first heard about them (like three weeks ago.) My Honey/Hubby has always like to grow everything from SEED (often starting in February) in the basement "greenhouse" he built / invented-created (often with hit or MISS outcomes) But I want something easy to keep and use - all year round - indoors and essentially foolproof - above all for growing the wonderful fresh herbs that we LOVE to cook with and eat.

    My Honey has been a little hesitant: he thinks they are a tad pricey - but now looking at all you've got going and growing in that one (adorable lady bug) "planter" - it looks like a bargain to me - especially in the Winter when we can't grow outdoors (and how expensive fresh herbs usually are in the store.)

    One thing I would like to know though: That Dill (it is Dill, right?) looks REALLY great in the photo - are you having continued success with it? Because like you - I have never had any luck indoors or out with Dill - and we really love it with so many things! I figure if it (I) can grow healthy Dill - the Aerogarden can work wonders.

    Thanks for the very helpful review (that I can also use to help persuade my somewhat skeptical Hubby!)

    • Hi Jesselyn, I am growing dill however, the ladybug one is not the one I"m growing it in, it's the one above. That said I haven't yet posted the pictures of my aerograden in full bloom and yes my dill is doing extremely well 🙂 hope that helps and good luck! We are also going to have a giveaway soon so watch for it 🙂

  6. I love using fresh herbs. They taste so much better than dry. This would work well for us. And you don't have to worry about garden pests!

  7. The AeroGarden looks like a great way to have a little garden. I'd love to try this out myself and I really like the lady bug design (how cute) to encourage kids to get gardening as well.
