Hello! Just bought my aerogarden , cant wait to hear more of the making your own nutrients for plants , i am an avid gardner , and did grow my own flower’s and other vegetable plant’s inside , worked well but it is a lot of work , i’m thinking of buying the kit for growing 60 different plant’s all at once in the aerogarden , once they are up u can plant them outside weather permitting,

Question: did u try that kit yet , want to know if it was well worth it.

Thanks so much for the info! I am excited to hear about how well it went reusing the pods since I’m a poor student and love saving money 😀

I am dying to know how it worked for you to use rockwool.. or hydroton.. your own nutrients and seeds!! This is for the main reason that I just bought an aerogarden with the intentions of doing just that. I cannot see paying $20 every month or so for herbs. So.. if you can, please email me and let me know how your experimenting worked. I already have the hydroton, coco pods to start the seeds, a gallon of Karma nutrients.. for my own hydroponic tub and air bubbler experiment that I am worried is already going wrong.. but we’ll see 😉

Thanks!
Steph

Nitrogen is the primary nutrient provided by these solutions, along with limited amounts of trace minerals.All plants need a plentiful supply of nutrients to sustain a healthy growing cycle and hydroponic gardening does this by adding nutrients directly to the water.

Awesome stuff – makes me want to get one myself but I know better than to even try to ask the wife. (She’s sure my work-in-progress DWC is go fail miserably… we’ll see how she feels after I get it working and have my first harvest.)

I really want to see how you do on weening the Aerogarden off it’s mass-produced seed pods and nutrient tablets!

How “smart” is it, anyway? Is the brain just a glorified timer or does it have fancier stuff?

I live in a cold mountanous state with a very long winter and this product has been a miracle. Our store produce is wildly expensive, so this has offered me, when all costs are included, a cheaper way to get fresh herbs and lettuces. I am trying tomatoes now. I think you are right about better growing results in a cooler place, as I have had terrific results in a room that averages 55-60 degrees. I will look forward to your additional comments on this system.
