For all interested gardeners and cooks, I’ve posted a review on the AeroGarden, a kitchen appliance for growing herb and vegetables indoors. The review is located on my other blog, Andrea’s Reviews. I would love to hear other opinions of the AeroGarden, so feel free to share in the comments of the post. Thanks!

    I received an Aerogarden with the herb kit as a Christmas gift. I started the garden on Jan 1, 2009. After about 3 weeks all but, 2 of the pods had sprouted plants. It was obvious there was something wrong with those 2 so, I tried to contact customer service. There is a recording on their line that states they are very busy but will answer all calls within 20 min or something like that. I wait an hour on hold before giving up. I sent them a e-mail which gets an auto-response saying they are busy but will reply within 5 business days or something like that. After 2 weeks I sent another e-mail asking what was going on and were they still in business. After another week I got a reply saying they would replace the 2 pods that did not sprout and that I should expect them in 2 weeks. That was 5 weeks ago and still nothing in the mail.
    Pros: I got this as a gift so it reduces the frustration level of having to deal with a company that has a poor product and no customer service. The 3 pods that did sprout have some nice Basil, Mint, and Oregano plants growing in them.
    Cons: Their customer service blows or is noexistent. Their seed appears to have a 40% germination rate. The garden is noisy.
    Bottom line: After these plants finish their life cycle, Aerogarden is going to the curb.
