Indoor Garden?

I've been seeing this thing called (I think!) the "Aero Garden" advertised on TV constantly and it really looks cool. It shows lettuce, cherry tomatoes, strawberries, and all kinds of other vegetables that you can grow right on your own kitchen counter top. I've been so tempted to get it but I'd like some feedback from someone who's tried it first. It really does seem like it would more or less pay for itself within a very short time. Heck just with the cost of those little cherry tomatoes this time of year alone it would pay for itself the way I love them in salads and just to snack on.
Has anyone here tried it or do you know anyone who has?

I actually have one! I use it to grow fresh herbs and it's amazing. It doesn't take up much space and it's so worth it to just pluck off whatever herb you need at the time and use it! Tastes so much better as well.

Thanks so much for sharing! I've been hoping to hear from someone who has one. I understand it costs about $150 plus the cost of seeds, etc. In your opinion, was it and is it worth the cost? It seems like quite a bit but when you consider the cost of vegetables and herbs it also seems like it would pay for itself in a short time, especially if you use a lot of those kinds of things, which I do.

Hey there, sorry for the delay in replying. I've been hibernating..lol. It's really worth the cost..I would've paid twice over for it! A definite worthwhile investment.

I do not watch television, so I have never seen this. And I have never purchased anything with the 'As seen on t.v. label. But, this sounds like a really good idea. It would really be perfect for me when I get a house.
I am not the garden type,(to lazy) but I like the idea of growing my own fruits and vegetables. I hope that you will be able to find out information about it, so that you can share it with us.

I really can't see how they would grow all that well, as these plants need the sun, I would be very interested to see if anyone bought this and they were good, even if they did grown I am not sure the nutrician value without the sun would be very good..

Hi,
My dad was very much interested in gardening and those plant growing things. He imported different varieties of plant seeds and flower seeds when I was in school. We used to grow flowers and 2 or 3 types of vegetables in our garden. I really like the idea. Go ahead and try it. You will love it. Nice day!
