I’m about to start my basil plants in my new Aerogarden and one of the vexing questions I have is how often I’ll need to add water to the reservoir. I’m away on frequent business trips of between 3-5 days and am worried that I may need to hire a “baby sitter” for the device…

My key lime tree I had to bring in for the winter has improved next to the light. It has even flowered. Smells good.

Some of the other herbs have died off so it's given the parsley more light and room. It seems to be spreading out a bit now. but it's still scrawny yeah, I agree… Some of the other herbs have died off so it’s given the parsley more light and room.

And you don't usually have to wait a month for germination. I would also expect to check on what is needed for improved germination, for example, soaking prior, or nicking the seed. It might be nice for starting specialty seeds for you garden if you don't need lots. Unfortunately, I found out this morning one of my cats (at least) likes the new shoots also. So far we have avoided losing the new plants, but we will see. I haven’t heard anything wildly unusual, but if you use shorter plants with fresh seeds, you should have decent luck.

Have they improved on the process? My other thought on buying pods vs. making them is they <i>might</i> be more reliable. I'd hate to be a month in on a planting and find half or more of the garden isn't going to work. But that's just me.. ;) Jenny, I’ve heard mixed reviews on making your own pods.

Just got my garden at Christmas, and my son, 14, has loved helping me and checks it several times a day. Surprised me. I may try making my own pods when this set is done with the old wones. I have read a few tips that it works well, you just need to keep plant type short. Very good tip on float.
