AeroGarden 7-Pod Classic Growing Technology

7-pod AeroGardens add oxygen to the water by circulating the water up through the grow deck and over the seed pods and the roots of the plants. Their seed pods are about 1 1/2 inches long. Because the pump is circulating water up and over through the grow sponges, the pods do not have to reach down into the water in the bowl.

AeroGarden 3-Pod/6-Pod Growing Technology

3-pod and 6-pod AeroGardens have an aerator to directly oxygenate the water, and their seed pods are about 3 1/4 inches long so that they reach down into the water in the bowl, allowing them to draw water up through the grow sponge into the roots of the young plants.

History

Growing fresh food and flowers lifts the spirit and nurtures the soul. But for most people, the nurturing ends when winter begins. AeroGrow founder Michael Bissonnette said, "Wouldn't it be great to have fresh herbs, flowers and veggies growing in your home, any time of year?". So he and a group of like-minded innovators married that notion to aeroponics, a highly efficient gardening technology in which plants grow in water, nutrients and air.



After four years, dozens of prototypes, and hundreds of seed evaluations, the AeroGarden was born and today there are over 500,000 enthusiastic AeroGarden customers. Michael is awed by the response. "It's amazing", he says. "We grew some basil, and started a revolution."
