Advantages: Makes a good reading light

Disadvantages: More a pond than a garden

I bought an Aerogarden 12 months ago. Within this time frame I have replaced one set of light bulbs and I am awaiting delivery of a third pump. All of these I have had to pay for. I have now tried to grow tomato plants on three occasions. Each time the plants fruit the unit stops and the plants suffer. It takes a matter of days before the water turns sour. I still have not had the pleasure of tasting any of the tomatoes that have struggled to fruit from the Aerogarden. I did manage to rescue the second threesome and planted them out in the garden where they have done well during the summer months. Very nice and tasty they were! I now understand that the company are replacing the type of pump and are awaiting delivery of a consignment. Too late for my third pump attempt though.I have got the distinct impression with this garden that I/we have been used as part of their development work. I would suggest potential buyers wait until all the problems have been resolved.

Summary: Wait until faults are resolved before buying
