AeroGrow Automated Garden

AeroGrow has recently released its signature AeroGarden aeroponic garden. A system designed for those without the skill, time, or weather to maintain an outdoors garden, the AeroGarden uses NASA-derived aeroponics to nourish most small plants without constant monitoring or even soil. The gardener must only add a supply of nutrients, seeds, and water every two weeks, AeroGrow says. After this, the system automatically releases food to the plants and adjusts lighting to simulate an outdoors sun cycle. The AeroGarden caters specifically to the likely needs of apartment dwellers and other small-scale gardeners, and has different settings for flowers, herbs, and smaller fruits or vegetables such as tomatoes. A beginning kit is available now from Amazon for $150, while themed seed packs ship separately for $20.
