I have talked about the Aerogarden that I received as a Christmas present in the past and talked about how great and successful the lettuce growing experience was. I also talked about switching to and trying their herbsand I have to say that I like how well the herbs grew. I have a lot of mint and basil and parsley. The chives and cilantro did not survive the cat.
I have nice full green herbs but I do have to comment that they are not very flavorful. In fact, I found the dill, basil and parsley to be rather bland. I was disappointed because of how lush and bright the leaves and plants appear.
I have also found the herbs to be very thirsty. They sure do suck down the water but they grow quickly and within a few weeks you can start using the herbs.
I am going to pull out the herbs and move on to the next experiment of tomatoes. I have a pack of them that I am anxious to begin. I am hoping that they are as flavorful as the lettuce was.
All in all, I do have to say that the Aerogarden is a good investment.
