AeroGarden Harvest Elite Indoor Garden with LED Light

I got it in sage and I love it. It is very attractive and easy to use. I have not had any issues with the buttons – they are very sensitive to light touch but once you get used to it it’s fine.
It is day 16 and all my herbs and lettuces have sprouted and some have grown big very quickly. I’m very impressed, and now I want bigger models so I can grow more things.
If you are debating between the ‘Harvest’ and the “Harvest Elite’ I strongly recommend this one – the elite. The Harvest is made of plastic which appears cheap compared to the Elite’s sleek metal. Also the Harvest doesn’t have the LCD screen and the option to select the duration of light based on the type of plant you are growing. Wait for the Elite to go on sale and it can as cheap as the Harvest.
I did a lot of research before my purchase, and I decided on the Aerogarden models over other brands, because they appears to be the only ones with the height-adjustable lights, which allow you to optimize lighting for the stage of growth and type of plants you have.
The only issue is that in the included herb seed pod pack, they gave me 2 basils but no parsley.

I’m not new to Aerogardens…ever since my hubby bought me one years ago for my birthday I’ve been completely hooked. I have a bit of a collection but this was my first of the new model Harvest and I love it. I got it specifically for the new Microgreens kit because I didn’t want to tie up a Bounty and the kit wasn’t compatible with my other gardens (old models and a Harvest Elite Slim).

For context, gardening is not my thing. I’m terrible at it- the only plants I’ve managed to keep alive are snake plants and even those have come close to dying. My Aerogardens though are a whole different story- it actually makes gardening FUN for me with much less mess than digging in dirt, dealing with pests, animals, etc. If you’re just getting started with Aerogardens, this is the perfect size (6 slots) and the stainless finish looks like a fancy kitchen appliance. I love the lighted digital menu making it much easier to read and set than previous models. Keep in mind that this one is not wifi compatible (at least that I can find). You can plant lettuce, herbs, flowers, and now even microgreens. I don’t recommend tomatoes or peppers in this garden though- they will quickly overtake it. If that’s your thing then definitely look into a Bounty that can accommodate the height and the spread.

If you’re on the fence about trying Aerogardens or even gifting one, this one is a great choice that will keep going and going. These are especially great for folks who live in areas that they can’t have a garden or they may want fresh herbs/veggies that won’t grow certain times of year. I have had nearly zero problems with any of my Aerogardens going on several years now. A few tips that seem to work for me:
– I’m bad about reading directions but definitely read them if you’re not familiar. They will save you a lot of missteps and frustration.
– Between starting new gardens, I do a deep clean of everything. Just a handwashing with dish soap and rinsed very, very well.
– Keep them watered (but don’t overwater). These are hydroponic plants- if they run out of water they seem to die almost instantly and it will be next to impossible to revive (in my experience)
– Feed the gardens on the recommended schedule
– Keep your plants pruned and under control, this will help them stay healthier, fuller, and contained where they should be in the garden and not causing problems with other plants.
– Definitely look into spacers (they’re available on Amazon). They’re recommended for tomatoes and peppers but I’ve found them really helpful for large herbs like basil so it has more room to grow.
– Replace the filters in the water basins periodically. They last a long time but after a while they degrade, rip, etc.

I’m a major Aerogarden devotee and don’t think I could (or can) garden any other way. I’ve grown countless gardens at this point including peppers, tomatoes, lettuce, microgreens, cucumbers, basil, chives, sage, cilantro, oregano, you name it. There is nothing better than your own fresh greens!

I like the machine and its easy to use, however out of the 6 pods in the starter kit – 4 haven’t come up and we are now at day 22!

The AeroGarden Harvest Elite Slim is an absolute game-changer for indoor gardening! Its hydroponic system makes growing herbs and small plants easy and mess-free, even if you don’t have a green thumb. I love that it holds up to 6 pods, so I can grow a variety of herbs like basil, parsley, and mint all at once.

The LED grow light is highly efficient and ensures my plants get the light they need, even in rooms with limited sunlight. It’s compact yet stylish, and the platinum finish looks sleek on my kitchen counter, blending in beautifully with my décor. The slim design is perfect for smaller spaces too.

The included herb kit is a great starter, and within a few weeks, my herbs were sprouting and growing rapidly. The system is simple to set up and maintain, with helpful reminders for adding water and plant food.

If you’re looking for a hassle-free, efficient, and stylish way to grow fresh herbs or small plants indoors, the AeroGarden Harvest Elite Slim is a fantastic option. Highly recommend it for anyone who loves fresh ingredients but lacks the outdoor space for gardening.

Super, alles funktioniert und optisch perfekt.
Leider musste ich mir noch einen Euro Stecker dazukaufen, da er nicht dabei war. Was ich auch schade fand, es war keine Beschreibung auf Deutsch dabei.
Aber sonst war alles super
