AeroGarden Heirloom Salad Greens Mix Seed Pod Kit with Pre-Seeded Grow Pods, Liquid Plant Food, and Growing Guide, 6-Pod

The AeroGarden is a great way to grow indoor lettuce, with the added bonus of convenience and freshness. Harvesting lettuce straight from the garden and into salads had been a real selling point for customers who report that they have had no wasted lettuce from the fridge. Germination rates of the pods are mixed with some customers only getting a 50% success rate. Among the germinated pods, flavorless greens and limp plants are some of the experiences reported. Bitter tasting lettuce is common but can be resolved with regular cleaning of the reservoirs and harvesting before adding nutrients. The lettuce package could use a bit more variety despite saying the package contains mixed seeds. There are cases of customers receiving just one variety. The high cost of the AeroGarden is also mentioned. Smartly designed, the AeroGarden comes with a grow light and adjustable reservoir. It can accommodate plants of up to five inches in height. DIY hydroponic systems provide more control and are cheaper, which could make the AeroGarden less of a value proposition for some.
