Try an Aerogarden for Indoor Gardening

If you’re considering taking up indoor gardening, you should look into getting an Aerogarden.  Aerogardens are a great way to get into indoor gardening without bothering with the mess of dirt, the difficulty of selecting seeds, or bothering with complicated lighting set-ups.

Perhaps you’ve always wanted an indoor garden but you think “Hey, it’s great to grow your own tomatoes, but I don’t want all that dirt in my house.”  Good news, the Aerogarden 3, and every model of Aerogarden for that matter, is a dirt-free indoor gardening solution.  How can a plant grow without soil?  They have a patented system that suspends each seed pod (either 3, 6, or 7 per garden) in the air, partially submerged in a nutrient solution that has been designed to actually be more beneficial to your plants growth and health than that which you would find in soil.  It is a form of hydroponic gardening called aeroponics or aeroponic gardening.  Soil is merely the medium we’re to seeing those nutrients delivered through, but AeroGardens have eliminated the need for this element of indoor gardening.

Aerogardens are a complete gardening solution and can be found for a great price over at Amazon.com.  Every kit comes with Aerogarden seed kits, instructions, and the aerogarden planting system which includes a grow light.  The grow light is a small UV light.  If you want to experiment with indoor garden lighting a little bit, you might want to look into getting an LED grow light, however this isn’t necessary.  The only thing you have to add yourself is water.  You simply add the water, plug it in and then add nutrients as needed.  Your plants will grow faster and fuller than they would in a standard indoor gardening setup.

Aerogarden seeds come in pods that are inserted into 1 of 3, 6 or 7 pod stations in your Aerogarden system.  3 or 6 depends upon which kit you get, and the garen will come with the appropriate amount of seeds for your first round of growth.  Additional seed kits can be purchased separately.  The seeds come in a variety of vegetables, herbs, and flowers.  They even have seed kits that specifically grow the vegetables you would need to make a great homemade salad. If you want to grow tomatoes, you’re going to need a “tall” Aerogarden, because, as you know, tomatoes can grow to be quite tall.  The standard aerogardens are only about about 20 inches tall, whereas a tall aerogarden comes in at almost 3 ft, or 34 inches.  You can mix and match these seed kits however you’d like, however they recommend growing similar plants together (ie vegetables with vegetables, etc).

AeroGardens are really a great solution if you don’t want to spend a lot of time tending your garden.  You only have to spend between 3 and 5 minutes per week tending to your garden.  Some gardens even take as little as 5 minutes a month.  This not only accounts for care time, but also for harvesting.  It’s perfect for people who travel a lot, or anyone who doesn’t have the time to water their plants daily.

If you’re looking for a, low maintenance, low stress, low mess way of growing herbs, vegetables or flowers in your home, then go ahead and get an Aerogarden.
