I don't have that unit, but I got a aero grow for Christmas. I'm not very good with planting, etc. My first try using it not too successful. Probably due to something I did wrong, but have to admit when I called Aero Grow they sent me a new kit for free. I kind of like the unit. I have no knowledge or input on the the model you posted, but it seems to work the same way as aero grow. I'm going to replant my second garden soon, and hope I fair better with the second garden.

I have seen the aerogarden too. Seems like it would be handy for herbs.

I've never seen this product.

Was just out on the patio taking inventory on what needs to be done for the new season of herbs and tomatoes.

Very surprised to see I have chives again in an old pot. Didn't think they would come back, it was a happy site!

Maybe some of your seeds didn't sprout last year.

Never seen anything like that before!

And I don't attempt growing anything because... it wouldn't survive. I have a blackberry plant & a golden berry plant (that I've forgotten the official name of) that I bought last year after we moved & had to leave behind our yard-full of wild blackberry plants. The berries are the only things that I dare grow.

We get wild raspberry plants growing all over the place. Think the birds drop seeds because I have never planted a one of them.

Each year we find them growing in the most unusual places in the yard. Hard to get rid of them.
