Harvest 6-Pod Smart Countertop Garden
Product details
Web ID: 4954712Good For One Round Only
I had this gifted to me during Christmas of 2020. The planter was phenomenal until I tried to switch out my plants. After unplugging it to clean it, only half the lights would turn back on. Customer service was able to send me a new garden, but the new garden has done the same exact thing. After 2 years, I've only been able to grow one round of plants for each system. Great short term product but don't buy if you want to have plants more than a few months.

Didn’t know how much I needed this!
My husband got me this for my birthday. I’ve recently gotten into gardening and I didn’t start using it until 3 months later. I started with the herb garden and I was blown away with how easy it is to use. I’ve never, I mean NEVER been able to grow things from seeds. This has been the best gift. Once my herbs were study I moved them to a planter box. I just bought the kit to use your own seeds so I started some veggies yesterday. I can’t wait to see how they do!

Best decision ever!
I absolutely LOVE my aero garden! So much so that my sister bought one and we gifted a third to another sister. It is so easy to set up and so fun to watch the plants grow! I haven’t had to buy lettuce since I received the Harvest Aero Garden. I also love that it is 100% organic!

Plants grow (and become a mess) very fast
On the bright side, even with little care, plants grow extremely fast. One pod did not germinate, but they sent me a new one after I emailed them. And the pods are reasonably priced, so I ended up just buying a bunch of extra ones, just in case some did not germinate. On the dark side, I feel like this Aerogarden isn't suitable for all the plants. The plants (like mint and dill, from my experience) outgrow the Aerogarden very fast. I wish the lights can go higher than 12". If I cut the top of the plants, they'd branch out to the side in just a few days. And the roots, they're the worst! They'd form a hot mess in the container (roots from several plant will combine into a giant mass that fills up the tank). These plants probably need to be transplanted into a pot within 1-2 months. Short plants like parsley don't work well for me either. Each seed germinate into a tiny plant with a few leaves, which is too little to use for anything in cooking. But overall, I'm happy with the product given that it doesn't require much effort to take care of it at all.

5 month nightmare
I started trying to grow herbs and then tomatoes 5 and a half months ago..I fed the plants as directed, pruned them as per instructions, watered them and made sure the lights were on 15 hours a day as told to do. The herbs hardly grew at all. After 3 months they were tiny shriveled with little leaves and nothing to eat. One of the pods did have a very large bug which crawled out after a week leaving a hole and no plant. When I tried a few tomato plants they grew like crazy. IO had to keep pruning them because the plants grew into the light and burned..After months dozens of flowers appeared. I pollinated them as per instructions and following a video on u tube. The flowers all dried up and eventually fell off. Aft 5 mionths I have nothing to show for all my trouble except some greenery and an electric bill about 15 dollars higher than it otherwise would have been. An annoyance and a total waste of time money and effort. Better to buy crap in a grocery store with no taste than go through all this for nothing. DONT BUY ONE!!!!!

We are sorry to hear your experience with the Harvest Garden did not go well and we would like to assist. Pests are common in any Garden setting and can be avoided with some at-home remedies. There are a number of things that can lead to Germination issues and could mean the Garden is not working quite right. If you have not already, please reach out to our Customer Service Team so we can make this right and get you growing again.
Very good product, but
I now have two of these, and love them both. Although I had some issues with germination, the company quickly replied with new pods, and fixed my problems. I really have only one quibble. While there are six pod holes in the product, it is not realistic to grow six plants. Depending on the plant, some get crowded out, or overshadowed my faster growing, taller plants. Harvesting in a very crowded space is also more difficult. Although set up and use id amazingly simple, there is a bit of a learning curve to know what can grow best together. Thanks

We appreciate your thoughts on the AeroGarden! There can be a slight learning curve when growing in our Gardens and we agree that spacing out your Pods is beneficial for you and the plants. Once you find what you want to grow, and have some harvesting under your belt the process becomes easier!
Simple to use
I bought this product about a month ago, and I really enjoy using it! The herbs are growing quite well . . . (the basil is growing crazy!). The only downfall I would say is that the instruction booklet that came with AeroGarden was very vague especially on the placement of the herbs. Other than that, I am anxious to try other pods!

Incredibly fast growth
I haven't had mine for quite a month yet and yet I was able to harvest some lettuce to put on a sandwich today. The lettuce grows amazingly fast and the basil is catching up. So far I have enjoyed the Harvest and might have to get another one. Makes indoor gardening so easy and clean. Customer service is the best.
