AeroGarden Assorted Italian Herb Seed Pod Kit, 6-Pod

I love the aero garden so when I found this kit I was so happy. Only 4 out of the 6 pods sprouted but I have more basil and oregano than I know what to do with. I will order again.

I used to love my Aerogardens (I have two Harvest units) for years. Then Aerogarden 'went out of business', wasn't selling seed pods anymore :( I tried generic brands (horrible, pods didn't fit or didn't grow) I tried buying "grow anything" pods which you add your own seeds to pods...again, either the pods sizes were off and/or the seeds didn't grow... plus trying to get a bottle of the right fertilizer or figure out what to use (fertilizer brand, proper ratio to use in the Aerogarden ...) was another nightmare. I was so very happy when Aerogarden decided to reestablish itself and start selling again! They were no longer offering a 'select your own' choice of individual seed pods that i preferred, but I was happy enough to get my Aerogarden up and running again with their herbs kit complete with their MiracleGro fertilizer so i ordered this pre-made selection of assorted ones. Delivered, set up immediately, so excited! 3 weeks later, not one of the six seed pods germinated. Not one. As i said, I've been doing my Aerogardens for YEARS, I'm not a newbie, I did everything correctly... these pods were all duds. I contacted Aerogarden as directed on Amazon. They opened a "case" and now I wait, hoping for a refund, and really very disappointed not to have my herbs growing (it's Fall in NY right now, no more outside gardening :(

I got a used aero garden from a friend and needed some pods to plant. I chose herbs because I used them the most and figured that would be the easiest. I planted these at the end of August and have been using hers since late September. It is mid October now. As you can see in the video, some of the herbs did not grow, but I truly believe that is my fault because I did not trim back and use the savory so the light is not getting to them, but that could be an issue and I’m sure it’s different for each batch so don’t let that dissuade you. I am very happy with the herbs. I did get out of this as I wasn’t expecting much. They’re very fragrant and flavorful. Very easy to grow!

4 sprouted, 2 did not sprout.

Love it, it grows great but 1/2 of the pods are duds and never end up sprouting — which is a bit of a disappointment especially when you pay the amount you do for the pods!

This created a lovely, flavorful garden for me in my kitchen. I have a 7 pod aerogarden from ages ago. I just left one spot open since this was a 6 pod package. They are easy to use, just pop them into the hole. I like the variety of the herbs for cooking. Some of the plants grow better than others, i guess they are hardier and grow faster and overshadow the slower growers. But all in all, i like these pods. When I have extra that I cant use right away, I will dry them for later use.

Like another reviewer, we have been using AeroGarden systems for several years. I was disappointed when they went “out of business” and very happy to see them return. I purchased two packs of the “variety of lettuce” (which does not tell you which lettuce will be growing so its a surprise when it sprouts) and two boxes of this Italian Herb Seed Pod Kit. The lettuce was the old packaging, clearly left over from before they went out of business. The herbs came in new brown boxes that honestly was better for the environment, but did not have much of what the old boxes had, like the clear plastic covers or even the black hole covers. Fortunately I have a ton from before. In any event, like the other reviewer, the ONLY thing that sprouted from the herb pack was basil. Heck not even the mint grew, and that stuff is like a weed and can grow under just about any conditions. So after four weeks, I pulled the first pods out and opened the second box. Same results. Absolutely NOTHING grew. Meanwhile the “old style” lettuce is doing just fine. For now, stay away from this brand. They clearly are not doing something right.

Only two of the pods grew. The rest are duds. I will likely not purchase again as I have made several (aerogarden) purchases in the past (some same sellers some not) and each purchase has been a same or similar experience. Not pleased at all. Last purchase. This product for sure is NOT worth the money. Only the basil and mint grew in this order. As you can see I’ve had it long enough for the basil to grow, therefore there should be at least a bud on the other four.. but there isn’t. In other orders only the basil grew. In a few of the prior purchases only the basil and parsley. It may grow for you…but It’s a wrap for me.

This was gifted to us the Christmas of 2019. The Tyme, parsley and basil grew well. When spring arrived it was transplanted in the greenhouse. Thus was useable for many months. Consequently I reordered the seed pods from Amazon to begin another growing process. I love the process of growing during winter months and having fresh herbs. It’s an extremely easy 1–2-3 process.

I purchased my Aerogarden during the COVID pandemic, and appreciate now having direct herbs growing downstairs for quick access in the fall/winter months when my garden isn't available! I appreciate the pods coming to be via Amazon Prime, and I don't think Aerogarden now delivers directly to Canadian addresses and this saves me time looking around for them. All the pods I received on this order grew successfully!

The basil and parsley grow very well. The thyme didn't germinate. Also need to watch for aphids.

This was supposed to be an assortment of Italian herbs. However, there were two pods (oregano and parsley) that did not grow anything, except one had a white growth of mold on the top. The pod labeled mint has a lovely basil plant growing from it now. I have purchased other Pod Kits and have been totally satisfied but this one was a total disaster... hence the rating.

Five of the 9 pods received did not grow as advertised but when I put a submission through the Aerogarden website, they shipped 5 replacement pods very quickly. Overall pleased with the response!
