The only herb in this garden not doing so well is the chives, but to be honest I never use them anyway.Overall this is a great garden, if you are growing it, just keep pinching the tops of the basil off instead of raising the light, until all of the herbs catch up with the basil. The Basil always seems to do well, and this garden is no exception. Well, this is my fourth garden for my Pro-100, and so far I have more herbs than I can use. Otherwise you might have trouble with the mint and cilantro.Overall, this garden has been worth the money for me. Tons of basil.The Cilantro has done better in this garden than it has ever done for me. The parsley is growing nicely. You can buy more herbs for the money at the store, but then again there is a convenience factor with these gardens. You will always have some herbs available when you decide to cook a certain meal, without going to the store.
I've grown green beans indoors hydroponically by other methods, and the plants required lots of extra support. While my green bean garden hasn't yet made it to the blossoming stage, I'm somewhat disappointed with this kit for a couple of reasons, but mainly because the included accessories don't match the instruction booklet. There are no holes in the seed pods to insert the support coil wires, which has resulted in about half of my bean plants falling over and breaking once they got more than about 6 inches high. I just don't see these plants reaching the harvest stage with the included equipment. Also, one of the seeds failed to sprout - although the do give you a few extra, the one I replaced it with didn't sprout either, and by then there was no point in trying again as any further sprouts would be too far from the lights.
Product did not deliver what was advertized. Out of 7 pods only 3 grew and I am disappointed.
I purchased these and was replacing ones that I previous had in there, because I was moving several hours away from my current house and didn't want to try and travel with a full Aerogarden. Every single seed has germinated and the plants look really healthy, they are starting to get flowers on them now, the only negative that we see is that we also use Cilantro in our salsa mix and if this had a Cilantro section that we could use would make it 10X better.
The several batches of Cherry Tomato seeds I have gotten will only grow so far and then seem to grow extremely slowly. The AeroGarden is an excellent product. None have produced any fruit. The Romaine lettuce seeds I am reviewing are doing very well so far. Not so for the Cherry tomato seeds. I am doing much better with Micro Tom tomato seeds I have purchased from a seed company. I do highly recommend the Romaine lettuce seeds however.
