Aerogardening?

University City, MO(Zone 6a)

Has anyone here tried the Aerogarden (http://www.aerogrow.com/)? Looks a little pricey (actually really pricey) but perhaps a good source of veggies in the winter. Thoughts and opinions?

Might be okay for a hobby. Couldn't produce enough to be worth the cost, and I question the nutritional value of hydroponically grown foods.
Besides, small windowsill gardening trays that are homemade can do quite well. Looks interesting, but I'll pass.

$150 is ridiculously expensive for the minimal amount of food it could possibly produce. Buy some shop lights for a few dollars and grow some greens all winter. You'll at least be able to use the shop lights in the spring to start garden plants.

Maybe I'm just too practical, but this thing will wind up gathering dust in more garages and attics than producing crops of food, in my opinion.

Why would you "question the nutritional value of hydroponically grown foods"? There's a HUGE difference between "genetic engineering" and "hydroponics".

I just found this thread.

I just ordered an Aerogarden a few days ago! Yes, it's pricey, so I hope I will at least get some decent strawberries and herbs out of it. I'll keep you posted!

I'm afraid I would be very skeptical about the amount you would actually grow.

Here is a product review of the AeroGrow that you may find interesting. Apparently it does not utilize an aeroponic gardening technique as advertised.

Is it marketed by the same guy that says to strip almost all of the leaves off your tomato plants? :-)
