AeroGarden Bounty Basic - Indoor Garden with LED Grow Light, Black

I absolutely love this! I’m reviewing it 2 years after the purchase! It has helped me grow so many veggies and fruits successfully! The design is easy to clean and keep clean, not complicated at all to assemble either! you are able to purchase if you have EBT, if not the price is not too bad! Definitely pays off by growing your own fruits and veggies! Very durable!! It took a tree falling onto my sunroom during a storm for it to finally break! I’m reviewing now, before I make another purchase!

I am loving this hydroponics system. I bought 3 of these, but only used one of the systems for the included lettuces. I bought the Grow Everything kits, so I can use my own seeds and grow what I want in the other two. So I planted lettuce in the one - out of 1 box of lettuces, 3 have not grown, or had mold. I took them out of that one hydroponic and put them in another where I had space to see if it would grow. One did eventually push through what looked like mold, apparently it was not mold. The other 2 - one has that mold looking stuff, and the other one has not sprouted. I contacted the company, because it says they will honor it if there is a problem. They make you jump through hoops to get replacement, so to me, it wasn’t worth it. Going forward I will use my own seeds. The system itself is great. The other 2 hydroponics - I have herbs in one and tomatoes and jalapenos in the other.The results - #1 lettuce, all are full and thriving, but one is very tiny still because it was a replacement, so it is behind.The second one - the herbs, everything up except one cilantro (i planted 2, one germinated, the other didn’t. And chives, they take a long time. So it includes thyme, cilantro, basil, parsley, and dill. Still waiting on the second cilantro and the rosemary. The third, the tomatoes are thriving, i have had to raise the light up a bit. The jalapenos have not yet germinated. I also planted 2 basil in that one, and they are doing great. The pictures are at 3 weeks old.

Very happy with this item! Waited to leave a review just in case ... glad to recommend!

I love my AeroGarden Bounty Basic so much, I purchased a second one!! I highly recommend!!!

This is an upgrade to my first AeroGarden. First, I love how it looks, and it has a few more pod slots available than my first one. I didn’t use the supplied herb kit, but instead purchased a Mountain Meadow set.The first thing I noticed about this unit compared to my original is that the build quality is a bit better. The lamp is large with a nice spectrum. I especially like the telescoping light arm, which is not a step-up/down system. The thing that caught my eye about this unit (over the others) is that it has a nice digital display. I thought that it would be somewhat smart - It is not. In fact, it is a bit clunky. My only benefit is that I can set custom on/off times for the light. It has a water level monitor on the screen, which is nice. The plant food indicator is not smart at all - It will not come on when plant food is low, and there is no way to reset it. Instead, it will come on every few weeks.I have been using this for about 4 months, and so far the pump is quiet and reliable, as is the display, etc. I would repurchase it, with the understanding that the display is mainly to tell you the water level but little else.

I have several Harvests & I have wanted a Bounty for a long time. I finally got it. I'm so excited. It is up & running & just waiting for me to decide what to grow in it first. It set up quickly & I really like the new info screen. It has the time, the water level, what garden choice, how many days planted & how many until feed time. No more having to scroll through the options to remember what my settings were if the power goes out. The base has a great gardening tips button, which I haven't even checked it all out yet. The 24" head/light arm can be removed if & when I would need to. It will be great to see all of the basic info without having to lift the deck to check water. The screen is very clear & the entire base is sleek & looks very rich. Can't wait to put some new pods in. It doesn't take up much more room than my Harvest so it is nicely tucked in among some of my small plants where they will be able to benefit from the LED lighting. I've been very pleased with my previous AG's & I'm sure this will be just as good. They just keeping getting better. Thank You AeroGarden for creating such great units that are affordable & so well thought out, so we can garden year round. Updates to follow as crops grow & produce. 11-25-19 I have had some time to adjust to the new 2019 Bounty & I like it so much I just bought another. They are whisper quiet, the info screen gives me all of the pertinent info needed for water level, days planted, when to feed as well as little grow tips & time. The larger tank & deck are great & Im sure my Incredible Edibles are going to love the room to grow. I also get some extra fun because it gives me room to create little scenes to go along with the plant life. I have created a seascape on both AG's. since I have numerous other plants sitting around the units sharing the light this becomes a full Aquatic picture. A couple of sunken ships, some sea life, a diver & it becomes a live scene because the plants are all real & edible so it will constantly change. It is such a pleasure to grow some of my own food & create some art at the same time. If you have ever been undecided about getting a Bounty then get one, you will not be disappointed. It is so versatile. I can small crops or now with the taller light ability I will be able to put in some cucumbers, snap peas, larger peppers & even a few bushes that will go into my yard in the spring to produce berries for the birds. Great unit AGpic #1 original Bounty #2 Bounty 1 with Edibles -all the plant life here is edible #3 the 2nd Bounty- the Diver had Lavender & Mint.2020 12-20-20 Its been over a yr now & I still love my Bounty's. I have 4 now & have grown tomatoes, peppers, lettuce, cukes, edible flowers, herbs/spices, flowers & several other veggies. Many went out into my small outside garden & then I started more. I have preserved herbs/spices & many of the peppers. I have a good collection of seeds from all that I have grown & have used them for new crops as the current ones are rotated to outside or the freezer. I havent bought any of these items in a store for a yr now & its fantastic. Also with the issues with covid I am not concerned of where my produce & some of my veggies come from because they are grown in my kitchen. I have 4 Bountys now, 4 Harvests, 2 360-s & an AG3. It handles all that I need plus extras for my neighbor friend. If you can only get 1 or 2 gardens get at least the Bounty Basic. It will handle almost anything you put in it. Its as easy as it gets to set up & take care of & you will always have something to eat or pretty to look at right at your fingers.
