Grows beautifully all year round - Bonus for those that suffer with S.A.D. Nov 28, 2009 I am thoroughly impressed with this Aerogarden. It has been a couple of weeks and everything is sprouting up and is growing amazingly fast and GREEN.
Amazon shipping fiasco:
First one Amazon shipped to us it was in a cheap cardboard box, you know the kind it is a flimsy cardboard you can tear through with a finger nail. It was inside a larger Amazon box but it was smashed on one side. Inside of the cheap box was the Aero garden smashed and all of the bulbs were broken. Amazon sent us one the next day along with a UPC for the outside of the box for the RMA. The next one was in a COMPLETELY different box, like from another company all together. I am not sure how we could get 2 different products from one manufacturer in 2 different boxes. The second box was a full color nice cardboard with all of the parts intact.
S.A.D.
If you have Seasonal Affective Disorder your psychiatrist or MD will probably prescribe a full spectrum light for you to have near you for the winter months. This grow kit contains 3 of those lights and if you place this near you say, when you are watching TV you will get many hours of natural light, while watching your plants grow!
Bonus plant growth:
That being said the lights are amazingly bright. They have to mimic the sun for goodness sake. I have this in my kitchen next to other house plants. As an added benefit is if you place the Aerogarden next to your other house plants they will get the benefit of all that extra light. I have succulents and cacti next to it and they are all growing MUCH better. Setting the lights to turn off at night is a breeze. Just hold the light on/off button on until the light button blinks meaning it took the time. It will then turn on 8 hours later.
Pros:
>> Grow anywhere at any time of the year
>> VERY easy setup - took 5 minutes from opening box until all set.
>> Pretty much fool-proof
>> Lots of extra light that will turn off at night automatically.
>> 7 spots vs 6 in a smaller model
Cons:
<< Bulbs will need to be replaced at $20 a pop x 3 is a bit extravagant
<< Chance to get a lemon from Amazon seems random due to the 2 separate ones they sent us. Makes me wonder.
<< Manual said to "Add 2 tablets to the water" on setup yet our kit only had these liquid nutrient things, which made us wonder if we needed to add 2 of those or are they more potent than the old tablets. Seems better to have liquid, just wish the directions were easier.
Overall a really cool way to grow all year and to have fresh herbs and other veggies at arms reach when cooking. Once the herbs are done we will be growing wheatgrass to use with our Omega J8005 Nutrition Center Single-Gear Commercial Masticating Juicer, Chrome and Black
Thank you for reading my review.

Good product & good crop Jul 25, 2009 It worked as advertised. It's a miracle when this (a product works as advertised) happens now days. I like it. I don't give it all 5 stars because the accessories are expensive. For example, the light bulbs don't last too long and they are expensive to replace.

AeroGrow Herb Garden Jul 19, 2009 My husband was not at all impressed with the AeroGrow Herb Garden when it first arrived & I set it up. And nothing really started to grow for the first week or so. But when it finally germinated, it was amazing just how fast the basil grew. It was like you could actually sit & watch it grow. We have the lights all the way up now & we have to trim it every couple of days to keep it from reaching the lights. The only downside I have found is that the basil grows so well it overshadows the other herbs & somewhat stunts their growth. If I plant again, I will plant the other herbs first & let them mature a little before I start the basil.

Herbs are growing ... Jul 13, 2009 We are very happy with the AeroGrow AeroGarden Pro 200. The herbs provided in the Season 1 kit are growing nicely. We actually enjoyed the first basil yesterday and it was marvelous. We have now sent for the trellis and coil kits as it is obvious that they will be needed as the plants get bigger. We are especially looking forward to winter tomato plants.

mixed experience Jun 21, 2009 I've had my aero garden since February and just retired my first garden for the season. Assembly and operation are easy and I did not have any problems with that. I grew herbs and loved to have fresh herbs whenever I need them. Of the seven seed pots I started, Basil, Parsley, Dill, and Thyme grew just fine. They grew vigorously and yielded often more than I needed. They tasted great too. The Sage was problematic from the beginning and never really yielded enough to cook a whole meal with it. The cilantro did not grow right at first. After lots of rinsing and clearing out bugs from the root ball it was fine for about a month, later began to be bug infested and lanky. The chives were also growing well at the beginning, but they had very little taste - they grew out flat and leathery and I threw them out in early April when my chives outside came back. Starting about 5 weeks after I started the herb garden, I had to take the thing apart at least once a week to rinse out everything because it was full of aphids and the little green bugs, which was kind of a drag but easy enough to do. None of my other many houseplants had this problem. I trimmed the root balls where necessary to avoid clogging the pump so I did not have any problems with the pump. On the other hand, the timer for refilling water and replacing nutrients did not work very well. Sometimes the water was low without the little light coming on and sometimes the water reminder blinked while it was still full. After a while, I got used to the various noises from the water dripping if water was needed. Once, after rinsing everything, the whole thing reset to the germination cycle for some reason and I had to spend a few hours trying to figure out how to get it back to the mature growth cycle. So my take on this is decidedly mixed. One of the great things (if it works) is that you don't have to spend as much time cleaning and picking if you grow them without soil. But with the bugs and all that advantage is almost lost. On the other hand, it's great to have fresh herbs right in your kitchen without having to run to the store. If you love herbs, it's worth the trouble in the winter. In the summer, window boxes etc. are probably easier and cheaper.
