Has anyone used this to grow herbs? I am looking for something like this to hang in my kitchen - to keep the herbs nearby but off the counter. Thanks!

I gave it as a gift and she hung it on the wall as a decoration. Sorry! I don't know about being able to plant anything in them.

I never checked. I have it for herb plants and they are very happy. It is on the warmer side

I think it could be used to cut dried herbs, although you might want to use a container with sides to do it. I would not use it for seeds. The cutting wheels are too far apart and the seeds would just slide out of the way.

Well this is very simple but it is also very small it is for a desktop garden. You could use it with a small single LED or CFL grow light configuration.. (Grow light would have to out side the unit).

Certainly. There is a rubber plug in the bottom that will control water dripping out. I put another plant down there to catch the drips. Probably great for herbs over the winter. They are really a nice height and size. I wouldn't have space indoors for this so hope you do. Happy gardening.

I wouldn't unless you plan to keep them in the ground or to keep them separated as part of a bigger system like hydroponics. The many holes will keep the soil more on the dry side compared to similar size pots. As a general rule, a larger pot will be moist longer periods and keep the plant stress to a minimum for your herbs. I would recommend the stacking pots like the three from Nancy for herbs (on Amazon) or a rectangular window box.

Yes, we just put it on the counter, where it gets no sunlight. Good luck. These are very easy to grow. Hope you enjoy.

Sarah, Rosemary does grow to become a fairly large plant, but if it were me, I'd try it and if it becomes too big, either remove it, or just keep it trimmed so it remains small enough not to crowd out the other herbs.

I got mine to use indoors and it has worked out very well. I left out one of the shelves to make room for taller plants, but of course that depends on the plants you have. I recommend this product for indoor use, I hope you enjoy it!!

You need to grow a vine on it for real and proper privacy. Am growing a climatis, very easy and pretty. Openings are small but not too small. Better than nothing for sure. My advice though is vine growing ( even out of a pot is OK). Mine is on the ground. Good luck..

Hi Tim ~We have mostly regular plants and herbs, which seem to love this light, but my husband says he doesn't really think this is the right light for flowering plants. He thinks Dan's recommendation is the correct one. Good luck!

The best answer would have to come from the manufacturer but I think that a grow light would be no problem if you didn't lean it right up against the wall/cover. I hung a work light (probably at least 60 watts) on one of the metal shelves in mine last winter to try & add a little heat & I had no problem.

There is a 6 or 7 inch opening in each level for placing herb in the rack. You could cover the opening with cloth to keep anything from falling out.

I haven't used herbs. I use it for mixing essential oils, a pinch of Epsom salt, and water to make bug spray. I carry it in my purse, and it hasn't leaked.

I have used the miracle grow liquid and it works wonderfully. Make sure though its a purely fluid plant food, some have chunks of special fertilizer in them, though those usually have their own special dispenser. I haven't had any issue with it so far using most plant foods :)

You want the grow light as close to the plants as possible. Any more than a 6-12 inches away from the plant and it's not going to be very effective. While this grow light is surprisingly powerful for the price, it doesn't cover more than maybe 12 inches or so in diameter. I would use this for maybe a few basil plants or herbs, one head of lettuce, or a smaller pepper plant (e.g. jalapeno).

I have grown herbs and flowers in my AeroGarden. I agree with the other participant, leafy plants grow better. Leafy basil was a hit. I am going to grown grass (not marijuana) for our cats and maybe 2 pods with some bright flowers. Works very well, a pain clean.
