Hydroponics
The AreoGarden serves as a neat introduction to Hydroponics which is an Environmentally friendly method of growing plants without soil or peat by using mineral nutrient solutions in a water solvent. Plants can be grown with only their roots exposed to the mineral solution, or the roots may be supported by perlite or gravel.
Hydroponics is set to make huge changes to the wide-scale production of edible plants.

Rapid growth resulting in several harvests.

Awesome review on the Aerogarden. I have an Aerogarden, and I did exactly that, grow herbs for my kitchen. I love mine. Yes you can actually get pods and plant your own seeds with them, or buy the seed pods. And yes, they are expensive. One thing I wanted to add, when your plants become over grown and stop producing, and you want to change out and plant something else, it’s quite a hassle to clean it all out and start over. The roots of all the plants get tangled up and you have to physically rip them apart. So….I love the garden. It’s worth the money even with the root issue. RhondaLeigh
Hello,
This is so good to get comments from someone else who has an AeroGarden, I’m pleased to hear that you are happy wit( it, yes it is a chore to clean it out after the plants are finished, but well worth doing properly in order to keep your AeroGarden kit in good condition.
Thank you for your comments.

Wow, the way the world’s technology is advancing these days is dynamic. God is awesome with the kind of wisdom, knowledge and understanding in embedded in people.
This is a great way to grow the plant species that are going into extinction and later probably transfer them to the ecosystem. But I have a concern or a question. Don’t the led light have any side effects on human body?
Hi
Thank you for your comments, science and nature is brilliant I think.
As far as I am aware led grow lights are not ‘blue light dominant ‘ and are not classifieds as high risk.
Best Wishes
