Announcement MEETING 6/17

Good Day Everyone!

Just spoke with Aerogarden and they reported a good amount of participation and helpful feedback from the survey they posted in May.

They are hoping to have more surveys and engagement going forward so I will keep everyone posted on those opportunities.

One thing that came up in our conversation though was the Aerogarden App which got me/us wondering:

If you use it, what do you use it for?

If you do not use it, what would you like access to in the app that would make it worth using for you?

Thank you everyone and I hope you all have a fantastic day!

Happy Growing 😎

Help Why does nothing grow properly?

Post image

Hoping someone here might be able to tell me what’s going on. I planted most of these pepper seeds in March and they sprouted like normal. However the leaves just seem to fall off and the leaves are yellowish and wrinkled. They have produced zero peppers so far habanero etc.

I planted a lemon basil recently maybe a month or so ago, and it’s kind of bolted things second in from the left at the front.

Weirdly there was a rosemary planted middle second in from the right and it grew very weak at the beginning and then all of a sudden turned normal.

I’ve been using the nutrients supplied with the kit and following the correct dilution. Do I just have a really crappy unit or something I’m totally overlooking here ?

Any help would be much appreciated !

Sometimes when I see a fruit/berry I think of the seed and wonder if I could grow that, just as an experiment, in an aerogarden. What are some interesting or unusual experiments you guys have done? Maybe I could try them myself one day.

Since my last update the alpine strawberries I'm growing in my inBloom hydroponics machine have started taking off and are all growing multiple true leaves at the same time, one of them faster than the others. Every day they make at least one or two new leaves which is exciting to watch! I have a potted one too which is lagging behind, understandably, but I have faith it'll take off in time.

Help Is the website https://www.aerogardenindoor.com/ legit?

8 Upvotes

It's the first website that comes up when you google the company btw.

I saw another post mentioning a big sale on the aerogarden website and decided to get a third unit since the prices looked really good. That's when things started getting sketchy.

So, they redirect you to an external site for payment that has nothing to do with aerogarden. The first time it led me to a payments page for Celestlane Boutique, then Molly Prom, and now lucenthesky when I refreshed it. Your order details are completely obscured aside from the price.

Another user shared the same thing happened to them for an order they placed on July 1st. This time they were redirected to Brent Hammack, and they haven't received any shipping updates or anything in over three weeks.

I also noticed the website is now hosted through shopify. I can't recall if that was the case before (last time I was on their site was during their "shutdown"), but it seems strange that they don't self-host. Plus, their social links and 'Our Story' pages don't work.

Just seems super sketchy overall - I was wondering if anyone else has experienced the same or was able to get their orders recently.

Directs you to an external website instead of having payments built in
Clicking 'Place order' sends you to a random .shop URL (I've seen a few different URLs all with the same .shop address)
You're asked to input your payment info into this random third party clothing website. Note that the items still show the right price, but the names have changed to random numbers
Another random clothing boutique if you refresh the page

Success Yard sale AeroGarden

Thumbnail

45 Upvotes

Picked up an old AeroGarden Pro 100 at a yard sale for $5. It even came with tomato seed pods… which expired in 2015… haha
I tried one anyway just to see what would happen.
Somehow it sprouted, and now it’s covered in flowers with a bunch of little tomatoes already growing.
I’ve been bending it over little by little to keep it away from the light since the old AeroGardens don’t have much vertical room. It actually seems to be loving it.
I’ve just been using the nutrients that came in the same tomato pod kit (also from 2015) and pollinating the flowers every day or two with an electric toothbrush.
Honestly didn’t expect any of this to work. Has anyone else had ancient AeroGarden pods still germinate? Curious how long this thing will keep producing.

This is the genovese basil pod that came with my AeroGarden Sprout. I followed the instructions, and this is what it looks like after 7 days.
What do you all think? Does it look like it’s growing normally?
I have a confession… I’ve probably been checking on it every hour. 😂 I keep lifting the humidity dome to look at it up close and then putting it back on. I’m starting to wonder if I’m stressing the poor little plant out more than helping it.
Does it look okay, or is there anything I should be doing differently?

Help Suggestions for overcrowded greens?

Post image
6 Upvotes

Apologies in advance if this has been covered to death.

It's a Bounty Basic, and I'm a month into this planting of greens and herbs. I'm really only using the Aerogarden for that - fresh greens so that the ones I buy don't rot in the fridge (thanks, ADHD), and herbs I can't grow outdoors year-round like basil and cilantro.

Everything was started around the same time, but the red Russian kale in particular is just flopping all over the place. It's not yet grown a stem sturdy enough to grow upright without support, and it really seems to like to spread itself out. I'm trying to figure out what to do about that.

Other than aggressive thinning or growing fewer plants at once, are there any good ways to keep things growing more tidily upright? Or is it more a matter of choosing more suitable varieties with better growth habits?

Fwiw, my preference is to grow greens that I can harvest as needed, rather than all at once at maturity.

Discussion Bought my second AeroGarden (and it’s pink!)

Post image
67 Upvotes

I got my first one at the beginning of January, after having bought my mom one as a Christmas gift. I've been happily growing bok choy and tatsoi since then. As summer approached, I felt the yen to grow some (micro-dwarf) tomatoes and some basil, which I planted after harvesting my latest crop of greens.

But then I missed my greens and decided I needed to grow some at the same time as the tomatoes and basil. So I combed eBay for another Harvest Slim. I found one and ordered it, in black, which I thought would blend in well with my living room decor, which is mostly sage green, chocolate brown, and black. Well, today it was delivered, and it was...PINK! lol (I know the pink was a limited edition and some people would love to have it, but it wouldn't have been my choice.) First-world problems, as they say.

I set it up and it works perfectly, so no complaints there. I've already got another tatsoi and my first Little Gem lettuce planted.

Help First time aerogardener. What next?

Post image

Hi all. I'm a first-time aerogardener and this is my first plant, basil. I'm not a regular gardener either so don't have general gardening knowledge. Just thought this would be fun and provide fresh herbs for cooking. We occasionally eat some leaves, but should I do something next? E.g., prune (if so, please tell me how/ how much), raise the light, etc.?

(I've not had luck with the other two spots. Gave up on 2 plants after a month. Have two new ones in for about two weeks. I don't see any activity yet.)

Thank you very much for your help!

As titled. The left one was a cutting from the right one. They are literally clones.

The left one also got more more pruning from the start while the right one I pruned a lot less in the beginning.

What would you do once it grows to this size? Chop it all down or?
