Has anyone tried mixing different kits? Should I set the AeroGarden to use the herb settings?

This is good to know. I might try this sometime, too! So far I'm just growing the herbs; when they're full-grown and I've harvested from them a few times, I'm going to try planting them in pots so I can get started on my Salad pods.

This particular one I purchased came with a small bottle of SuperGrow Liquid Plant Nutrient. There is no size listed, but it's probably big enough to feed 10-20 batches of AeroGarden growing. Hope this answers your question.

You can buy this herbicide premixed for non-forest uses at Home Depot and Lowes. The percentage I have seen was 6%, which seems low. If you want to buy and create your own mixture I would make it stronger. I have used the 1:3 Tri:Diesel on english ivy only to have it affect nearby plants, so I suggest a much weaker mix. I suggest beginning at 10% and working up depending on its effectiveness.

Yes, I have two Aerogarden 6 pods and they work well. I planted basil seeds by inserting 3 seeds into the depression in each sponge and everything sprouted and is doing well. Be aware that the depression in the top of the sponge is smaller than the Aerogarden brand, but a pair of tweezers does the trick to plant the seeds.

I am using my own tomato seeds. Actually, I saved the little plastic inserts that held the sponges--they clean up fine. For seed starting I replaced the little sponge with half a rockwool mini cube. It works great. I was thinking of buying the master gardeing kit but I haven't yet. I'm still on the fence about that, cause I have my own nutrients that I can add to the garden instead and I don't have to spend $40.

I made some with Lemongrass, Peppermint and Lavender and it worked great! Melt over low heat until just melted, add oils and mix well.

Quick Overview: AeroGarden Grow Sponges are made from pure Canadian Sphagnum Peat.. I use them in the styrofoam tray to start my garden vegetables. It holds 60 of these and makes it very easy to get a head start for the garden every year.

I mix as directed in a garden sprayer and set it to a stream instead of mist and spray the mound. It is working better than anything I have ever used!

I read one recipe that said they had, but the directions say you shouldn't. I read somewhere else where they said why you shouldn't and it made sense. Haven't tried it and won't. It is a good little machine, don't want to ruin it. Get the wondermil if you want to sprout.

Mine is quiet, very bright though. There is usually a pod or two that doesn't grow well, but Aerogarden will replace them... I tried the herbs, they grew so large they needed the extra space anyway.

Yes, I love the combination. See a sample at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aGu-x6RxMrw

I received Aero Grow as a gift for Mother's Day, and love it, as I live in an apartment and do not have access to "land". My basic problem is that the cilantro is NOT growing. I contacted customer service who was extremely courteous, and who mentioned that if there were no sprouts after 4 wks. they would replace the lil' bugger. The bug thing worries me, so I have been keeping a wary eye out for that lil' problem, and will update you accordingly. It is a joy to see the herbs sprout and progress, I planted the Gourmet Herbs and they have all sprouted (except for that obstinate cilantro). :( I think you would enjoy the product immensely! :)

Technically, this is growing aeroponically, but the answer to your question is no. The sites are too close together and your plants would not get enough light, as this was not designed as full hydroponic solution. Plus your roots would become completely entangled in the spray heads, which happens to some extent even growing 3-4 inch clones.

They are amazing for Aeroponics. I have used these in both DWC and aeroponic cloning. For best results, mix a small solution of ph'd water, root starter, and whatever organics/nutes you want and just dip these plugs into the mix. No needs to soak because these retain water and nutrients quite well. Place seed/clones in plug and put it into your aeroponic system...works like a charm. Enjoy!

Fan airflow regulator. You want fresh air coming in and fresh air going out plus carbon filter. I would use an ipower 600 watt light with cool tube. Need negative air pressure. Sensi grow a and b works well with the hobbyist bundle made by advanced nutrients. Genetics is also key though. Use femenized seeds. Keep your temp stable and watch your humidity
