Miracle-Gro AeroGarden Bounty Elite Wi-Fi Stainless Steel ($299)

Price in the title sure would nice - cause I wouldn't have clicked on it for $300.

It's unfortunate someone didn't make your life easier by giving all of the information in the title...

Your should post this 'suggestion' in the 'Site Comments & Suggestions' forum.

I have been eyeing one of these units for a while, they seem like a really good product in theory. Main thing that keeps me from pulling the trigger are things I've seen when I looked online for reviews or results from using it over a period of time. Videos I've watched show people having to surround the unit with tinfoil, setup an external water source/pump, or even go so far as to buy ladybugs (Who knew that was a thing) to toss on their plants because they were infested with other bugs. Maybe they are the outliers, because it would be nice to have fresh herbs growing year round.

Some of the smaller and simpler models are also on sale. Might be of interest to those that don't want to spend so much. Would be nice if these could be wall mounted, but the design doesn't seem well suited to that.

Had two of the smaller units and the pumps failed on both

I see Miracle-Gro is prepping for July

Up in smoke? Liberals say legal pot by July might be unrealistic

I Got the Harvest Touch from Costco in December. This isn’t the same model ( I think the only difference is touch screen) but I love my Aerogarden. I’m growing tomatoes and basil in my office and so far no problems with water or the pump, and the plant growth has been crazy fast and fun as a 2 minute side hobby every day.

yes it was only in their handbook 3 1/2 years ago, elected and in their platform over 2 years ago, mandated to the provinces over a year ago, grow industry popping up everywhere and ready to go..and they're not ready!! politicians are the most inept bimbos on the planet! they couldn't get a job done in the real world if their lives depended on it, these people are nothing more than car salesmen

Trudeau government should push pot bill through Senate
In the case of the popular pot bill and the unelected senators trying to block it, democracy and efficiency would both be well served by a heavier government hand in the Senate.

Can you use normal seeds with this - or do you have to buy their overpriced 'pods' ?

you can use any seeds... and I mean ANY seeds...

You can, but it's tricky. You can buy grow sponges, and reuse the plastic cages from an used pod kit. You can replace the grow sponges too. I grow now some tomatoes done like this (old cages, some sponge I cut from insulation, seeds from canadiantire), not so happy with the results. I wasn't happy with the original seed pods, most likely I don't trim them properly. I will try salad next time
Anyway, I think the best price for this aerogarden was like 200CAD....

That's really unfair to car salesmen.

Ok I dont get it.
Whats wrong with buying the herbs pre cut in the store during winter and / or growing your own on the balcony etc. in a simple pot if need be?

They are not wifi connected and you can't check on how much you have left. What are you? A caveman?
