Comments about AeroGrow Italian Herb Seed Kit (7-Pod):
I haven't used the herbs yet because after a month of waiting only 3 have sprouted. I followed the directions closely and nothing. I have had my aero grow garden for a while and the plants I purchased previously also had about a 65% growth rate. I do think this can work but how to get them all to grow, back to the drawing board.
Comments about AeroGrow Italian Herb Seed Kit (7-Pod):
I was disappointed that the chives never grew The savory grew but then never took off. Had to throw it out. The basil and mint are growing excellent. I have already used them many times and am harvesting the oregano They are the only three remaining that are healthy.
Comments about AeroGrow Italian Herb Seed Kit (7-Pod):
I have purchased this for myself and my mother-in-law. Both gardens produced great herbs. My mother-in-law had never done this before and was thrilled. She is now deciding on her next garden. Aerogarden truly stands behind their product
Comments about AeroGrow Italian Herb Seed Kit (7-Pod):
I have never be able to keep plants alive until now. Plants sprouted before the date posted on the label. I have not had them long enough if they taste as good as they look. Will let you know later...
Comments about AeroGrow Italian Herb Seed Kit (7-Pod):
I love the variety of herbs with this Italian Seed Pack. However, this is the second garden I have had with chives that did not sprout, and the savory did not grow well. Other than that the other plants are growing great.

Seeds were set up 4 weeks ago and nothing is growing.
Comments about AeroGrow Italian Herb Seed Kit (7-Pod):
When plants start to outgrow their space, I harvest everything that needs trimming, add walnuts or pine nuts, some garlic, and olive oil, and make Pesto. The recipes create themselves.

Comments about AeroGrow Italian Herb Seed Kit (7-Pod):
I am recently retired and have never had to cook in my life but am finding I have more time to pursue and discover new interests and who doesn't like to eat! I enjoy the aromas left on my hands as well as the variety of tastes these herbs offer.
Comments about AeroGrow Italian Herb Seed Kit (7-Pod):
I like the herbs, they grow quickly and I love being able to use fresh herbs in my food. I like the variety of things you can grow as well as how little the maintanence is on the garden itself. Its great for people who dont have alot of time for gardens outside. So far I havent found anything i dont like about this product.

Comments about AeroGrow Italian Herb Seed Kit (7-Pod):
LOVE the Aerogrow unit, the convenience, the cleanliness of this type of gardening, the variety. However, I had 2 pots of bad seeds that never germinated in this package. Issue was taken care of quickly through customer service.
Comments about AeroGrow Italian Herb Seed Kit (7-Pod):
Great product! Everything is growing rapidly, except the garlic. It did not sprout at all, so I had to through it away and use some of my own lettuce seeds to replace it. Other than that, I love it, and am thinking of buying another one.
Comments about AeroGrow Italian Herb Seed Kit (7-Pod):
This is my second time using this kit. The only
problem I had was the chives did not come up. I called AeroGarden and they sent out another herb.
Comments about AeroGrow Italian Herb Seed Kit (7-Pod):
Ilove my aero garden. I have grown veggies,herbs, flowers and now I'm going to try some lettuce's
Comments about AeroGrow Italian Herb Seed Kit (7-Pod):
It is great to have fresh herbs for cooking and salads - just pinch off a leaf and you are ready to go-I have grown many things in my Aero garden and by far the Italian herbs have been the best. My husband who is the avid chef in my household agrees this is the best planting by far.
Comments about AeroGrow Italian Herb Seed Kit (7-Pod):
a joy to have healthy, tasty herbs at your fingertips whenever a recipe calls for them...have used the aerogrow for 2 years and recommend it to everybody! The crops are long-lasting and so easy to grow.
Comments about AeroGrow Italian Herb Seed Kit (7-Pod):
To start with the bad the Garlic chives were very poor sprouters, there were 3 sprouts in it total. It was very disapoinitnig when the parsley started crowding it and they died.
The oregano, Savory and thyme sprouted fast and did fairly well. The basil as had been noted in the directions did very well even under, at times, daily use.
As for the best... I have tried to grow parsley many, many time before it always involed nearly a month before a sprout would be seen. So imagine my shock after 5 days to find not 1, but 3 had sprouted up far enough to be seen threw the grow cap! Absoultely amazing!
As a final note both the parlsey and basil would do very well in a tall garden instead of the regular one I have
Comments about AeroGrow Italian Herb Seed Kit (7-Pod):
Easy to setup, low maintenance and they grew extremely fast! Great product.

Comments about AeroGrow Italian Herb Seed Kit (7-Pod):
Having fresh, high quality herbs in the dead of winter is a real bright spot. Highly recommend.
Comments about AeroGrow Italian Herb Seed Kit (7-Pod):
This is a great variety pack with all useful herbs. All sprouted well. My only complaint is that the basil seems to grow much faster than all the other plants and you have to constantly trim to keep it from overshadowing. I've had this problem in other kits too.
Comments about AeroGrow Italian Herb Seed Kit (7-Pod):

This product takes care of the winter blues,its like winter isn't even here,when I'm in the house. The light it put outs and plants it produces make summer seem not so far away.I love my areo gardens.
Comments about AeroGrow Italian Herb Seed Kit (7-Pod):
for those that love Italian cuisine this kit has it all.
Comments about AeroGrow Italian Herb Seed Kit (7-Pod):
I've grown two Italian Herb Seed kits; each lasted longer than the six-month projected growing season. I barely had to lift a finger and quickly found myself overflowing with fresh mint and parsley, not to mention fistfuls of the other included herbs.
Since you're growing the herbs yourself, the mint, savory, oregano and thyme are the coveted "baby" varieties, meaning you don't need to strip the leaves off the stems; they're soft and tender enough to use in their entirety. This is something you'd have a very hard time replicating from a grocer or even from a farmer's market. It makes cooking and prep time easier and provides a wonderfully soft herb flavor it's hard to replicate otherwise.
Comments about AeroGrow Italian Herb Seed Kit (7-Pod):
I was not to sure when I bought the areogarden, But OMG it is amazing. My basil is 4 weeks old and it is about 10 inches tall. I can snip and use. My savory never came up but I had some Thai basil rooting in water, YES basil will root itself in water. I added the Thai Basil into the pod, and low and behold, I now have Thai basil about 6 inches tall. I wish I would of bought this along time ago. With the price of store herbs, it won't take that long to pay for it. My daughter loves it to, she just calls to see if I have anything she needs and she picks it up.
Comments about AeroGrow Italian Herb Seed Kit (7-Pod):
What a compact, easy, clean way to extend a growing season for those of us living in a cooler zone 4 climate. I now have 2 Aero Gardens and love them!

Comments about AeroGrow Italian Herb Seed Kit (7-Pod):
This is our third year with the AeroGarden and it has become a winter tradition.
The replacement battery instructions for the older models should be placed at the FRONT of the book.
The current backup battery information is buried at the end of the tutorial.....almost as an after-thought.

Comments about AeroGrow Italian Herb Seed Kit (7-Pod):
Fresh herbs make all the difference in the flavor in your pot. I used to grow herbs outside and had to run out to clip them while I was cooking. Now they are right on my counter. I love the beauty the live plants add to my house. And .... I use the light timing as a nightlight in my kitchen (-:

I am never without the fresh herbs I need for a recipe. I have three herb gardens growing, two on a wall mount and one on a counter. They are very handy.

Comments about AeroGrow Italian Herb Seed Kit (7-Pod):
This is my third AeroGarden planting. I loved the Classic Herbs and Salad Mix. In just 2 weeks my Italian Herbs are all doing well. It is so fun to watch all the varieties emerge. I can't wait to start using them. It is so handy to snip off what I need. I find myself using many more herbs when I don't have to go out and buy them, usually throwing half of them away. The only thing that would make it better is if I could choose my own mixture. There are ones I don't use much and others I wish I had more. It is quite the conversation piece when I have guests, so attractive.
Comments about AeroGrow Italian Herb Seed Kit (7-Pod):
I use my product in just about everything I cook, It is great to add fresh flavor at a pinch of a plant.
Comments about AeroGrow Italian Herb Seed Kit (7-Pod):
this is the fastest growing seed kit yet!! started in 2-3 days and is going strong!
Comments about AeroGrow Italian Herb Seed Kit (7-Pod):
This is my second season for the Italian herb garden. The herbs I grew last year were wonderful and I used them all the time. It's so handy to have what you need when you need it! My only complaint is that they took out the cilantro and added savory. Cilantro is more useful to me and I was disappointed about that. Otherwise, it's a great product.
Comments about AeroGrow Italian Herb Seed Kit (7-Pod):
Love walking over to my herb garden and harvesting fresh herbs for my salad dressing/and or cooking. The basil in this selection is wonderful for quick bruschetta!
Comments about AeroGrow Italian Herb Seed Kit (7-Pod):
I use mostly basil and parsley and would really like to see flat leaf parsley included in other kits and that is the main reason I bought this kit. I have had the kit growing for a few weeks now and they are growing nicely - basil is really doing well.

Comments about AeroGrow Italian Herb Seed Kit (7-Pod):
I have two wall mounted 7-pod units in my dining room. They illuminate slightly dark corners on either side of my breakfront. They look so nice, fill the room with wonderful herbal scents and are great conversation peices - all in adition to providing excellent fresh herbs for my kitchen. Everyone who sees them says, "Wow! Where did you get those?"
Comments about AeroGrow Italian Herb Seed Kit (7-Pod):
I love fresh herbs and I live in an area where I have to drive several (at least 50) miles to get fresh herbs. Now I have them whenever I want. They taste great and really add something special to my cooking. Thanksgiving is coming and last year I used all the fresh herbs from my aero garden and my meal was great. Does not matter if you live in a big or small place. Highly recommend.

Comments about AeroGrow Italian Herb Seed Kit (7-Pod):
Was given to me as a birthday present in January. Can't begin to tell you how much I enjoy my Aerogarden, not only do I have it at my fingertips as I am cooking or making my salads, but it gives me a up feeling to have nature in my kitchen and to wake up to a wonderful light and have it all day until bedtime, especially in the winter when you get the "blues"

Comments about AeroGrow Italian Herb Seed Kit (7-Pod):
I have a large garden in my yard. I have to stop cooking and pick it. Now all I have to do is lean over and pick it when I need it. It gives you more then you will need!!! And it is not dirty like in a regular garden.
Comments about AeroGrow Italian Herb Seed Kit (7-Pod):
I recently moved from a small kitchen where my Aero Garden was the centerpiece of my kitchen table to a much larger kitchen. I have tried the herb garden twice and the tomatoes once. The herbs are my favorite, especially now that fall is around the corner. These herbs will be in full production by the time Thanksgiving is here! We love it.

Comments about AeroGrow Italian Herb Seed Kit (7-Pod):
The difference from store purchased herbs and the AeroGrow garden herbs are unbelievable. The big flavors that come from the AeroGrow were such a bid surprised. Our guest could not believe the flavors that it added to our meals. We found that all the herbs added so much to our cuisine. We could not believe what a difference the herbs added to marinating our meats and what flavor it added to our home made pizza.
Comments about AeroGrow Italian Herb Seed Kit (7-Pod):
Very easy to get started and harvest.

Comments about AeroGrow Italian Herb Seed Kit (7-Pod):
It is great to have fresh herbs available, and the Italian herb selection best fits our cooking style. Our previous set grew almost too fast, and we couldn't keep up with it--perhaps we need to cook more! And it is a bit messy to clean up when the herbs have come to their end.

Comments about AeroGrow Italian Herb Seed Kit (7-Pod):
I use the herbs in salads, sandwiches, seafood, meat, and chicken dishes, as well as the mint in drinks. Pasta dishes and egg omlets must have them also. I love being able to have them right at hand to snip. I guess you could say I am addicted to the garden! My husband calls me a gourmet cook.

Comments about AeroGrow Italian Herb Seed Kit (7-Pod):
Use herbs in my daily cooking, and love the ease of having them year round in my kitchen. I have herbs in my garden outdoors, but in the winter, most die off. I would not be without my Aero Gardens.

Comments about AeroGrow Italian Herb Seed Kit (7-Pod):
I have grown herbs in my garden for years but these taste much better.
Comments about AeroGrow Italian Herb Seed Kit (7-Pod):
I own and operate two businesses which limits my time to be able to raise and care for fresh herbs. I do enjoy cooking though, and often would buy my herbs at the grocery store. This is expensive and often the herbs will start to go off soon after purchase. The aerogrow herbs are very low maintenance, always fresh, and can be raised at any time of the year. In time, I expect I will cover the cost of the device in what I've saved over buying the herbs at the store.
Comments about AeroGrow Italian Herb Seed Kit (7-Pod):
This is a perfect blend of all the herbs I use on a regular basis.

This was the second time I ordered this and was giving away bags and bags of harvest to friends at work who are avid cooks! They were impressed with me growing this! If only they knew how simple it was!!!!
Comments about AeroGrow Italian Herb Seed Kit (7-Pod):
I love this herb kit, has great variety and grows quickly. I live in an apartment in L.A. and gives me the chance to use fresh herbs in my meals. Love the Italian kit!!
Comments about AeroGrow Italian Herb Seed Kit (7-Pod):
I have a large vegetable garden but herbs never seem to do very well. This is the best solution. I am not a chef but I do love to cook. Having these herbs on hand help me add a lot of flavor without having to run out and buy fresh herbs. I really do love this product. The only thing is that I do not have much use for mint and sometimes, it overgrows due to my lack of upkeep.
