Waiting for my Aero!!

[Jonez]

Hello all.  I just joined and am anxiously awaiting delivery of my Aero (3/15).  I've seen the infomercials and never paid much attention until I started changing my eating habits.  I eliminated all processed foods and have spent a heck of a lot more time at my local supermarket getting fresh veggies.  Getting the Aero just made sense to at least grow some of my salad fixings year round.  I've read quite a bit online about it and am especially interested in growing my own seeds eventually. 

Have a great day!

Feb 1st 2007 i plated my 1st 2 gardens with their tomatoes and just started 5 others I got a couple weeks back.  It is not hard to use your won seeds. Buy a masters gardeners Deluxe kit from them and it is almost 2 easy.  Going to get use to these guys and start useing a my own Mircke Grow water solution.  i will let you know what mix works best.

Hi Maggie!

Congrats on your new eating habits! My wife and I have started looking into and implementing a fresh raw food diet, not raw meat of course and surprisingly am quite enjoying it and have already noticed a difference. My wife dragged me to a seminar about 4 weeks ago and I was skeptical at first, but it really opened my eyes up to a lot of things. I didn't realise how much great food there are out there besides your typical everyday preservative filled food. The AeroGarden will be a great plus for you in this.

Welcome to the community!

I love Veggies . Nothing better than a good steak with a great big salad on the side.  A hamburger stright off the grill with a huge slice of tomatoe on it.... Ahhh I am getting HUNGRY!!!!! I could never be a Vegitarian or vegan because I love the taste of meat to much.  But hey meat is unprocessed if when I butcher my own cow:) YUM!!!   My plants can not start giving me veggies soon enough!

I was never a big veggie eater, but since changing my eating habits in the last few months, I am developing a taste for lots of greens (and reds, and oranges, and yellows--oh my!). 

Still waiting for Fed-Ex to deliver my Aero (it can't get here soon enough).  In the meanwhile, I went to Bed Bath and Beyond and they have it along with the seed pods.  I picked up the box, I put down the box, I read all sides of it, I picked up all the seed pods, almost bought one, then put it down, lol.  I get home and check every You-Tube video on it.  Is this the beginning of an obsession .   

[Strongbad]

Obsession you say.   I bought 7 of them LOL... I am obsessed

Hello Maggie!
I'm waiting for my Aero too
What model did you order?   I ordered the pro 200 and found out later that it's on back order. 
I'm told it won't be in until the end of the month and I'm sooooo dissapointed.  I can't wait to start growing.

[Jonez]

Hi Joyce!  It was a prize I picked out at work from an online catalog.  It didn't specify which model.  My guess is it's the original one. 

Hope you get yours soon  .

My Aero is on the FedEx truck as of 6:08 am---Whoo Hoo!

Don't you just love package tracking!? Hope you enjoy using your new Aerogarden when you get it.

[Jonez]

It's here!!! It's here!!!  And yes---love, love, love package tracking. 

It's all set up and ready to go.  Just registered the warranty and ordered, at a discount, the Mesclun Mix and Cherry Tomatoes, and an extra set of bulbs.  I will note my progress in the General Forum.

Cheers!

Mine has been shipped too!  It won't be here until Wednesday so I expect to have it up and running by Wednesday night.   If all goes well, I'll be eating fresh salad in about 4 weeks.

To keep myself busy while waiting I have been researching these systems.  I do think I could build my own for about $75 but I really like the look of aero.  I've seen many other systems and I really wouldn't want any of them sitting on my kitchen counter.

After I experiment with the Aero for a while, I may still try my hand at my own system because I've read a lot about LED lighting and I would like to experiment with that too.   But I may end up like some of you with several Aero's...  one for salad, one for herbs, tomatoes, and wouldn't fresh strawberries be wonderful?

He he...  I don't even have my first one yet and I've got all these plans.

Yay, Maggie!!! 

Joyce, I love your thinking. Please share how you make out with those other ideas, if you pursue them? I'm very curious! I also looked into other aerohydroponic systems, but yes, they'd belong in the garage. After evicting the car... That said, I don't only grow in my Aerogarden... < She says, having taken ~75 seedlings out for their first spring hardening-outdoors today, and planted 4 hostas and 2 swiss chard, and...    >

I think I'm in greatest danger of buying another 3-Aero-wall-farm unit in, oh, about October. When I bought my first Aerogarden, in fact. 

[Jonez]

I've done the same, Joyce, researching on making my own aero-hydroponic system.  But I agree, as Gisette said, the designs belong in the garage  .  So I'll probably be buying more too, for tomatoes, for lettuce, for flowers, for herbs....somebody stop me!!!!!
