It’s been a while since we had a little thread about these cool little gizmos, but there are many folks around here who use them
My first batch was the little herb kit that came with it, worked marvelously(although I am almost out of my gallon freezer bag of basil).
My second batch was an attempt to grow bell peppers and tomatoes. I used web ordered seeds rather than the official kits, but with the master gardener kit fertilizer. It was partly a success and partly a failure. The tomatoes grew first and well. Lots of flowers, but only one fertilized.

The peppers then grew up well. Lots of flowers, but again no fertilization. Eventually one huge plant took over, and stopped flowering. It then out grew my gerry-rigged supports fell over and broke it’s trunk.
So take two was a failure all in all.
I cleaned it up, and just started crop three, the same bell pepper seeds again. My plan is to grow it as far as I can in the AG while the roots are still basically free. Then I am going to transfer then to a dirt planter, that I will keep under the spill light and window sun until it flowers(hopefully). Then when it does, I will move it outside and hopefully nature can take care of the plant sex, cause I am a failure. Meanwhile once I have moved it to a planter, I am going to start an official AG hot pepper kit, because i figure those are designed for in house pollinating.
And the tomatoes will have to wait, but rest assured glorious little juicy nuggets, I will return to you later.
So how does your [sub]aero[/sub]Garden grow?
