Couperman Posted November 23, 2008 Share Posted November 23, 2008 Has anyone tried growing veg using Aeroponics? It is a variation on Hydroponics but the plant roots are sprayed or misted rather than submerged. I saw this and thought it might be a nice addition to the kitchen. http://www.aerogarden.org.uk/?gclid=COHrgIOPipcCFUog3godcketDA It is very pricey though especially for the seeds and stuff, so I think I'll have a go at a DIY version, there seem to be plenty of plans available on tinterweb. Using both aquarium pumps or pond fog producing wotsits. I like the idea of some home grown tomatoes and herbs all year round. Kev. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Redwing Posted November 27, 2008 Share Posted November 27, 2008 My friend has a herb aerogarden, she loves it and things do seem to grow well in it. Takes up a fair amount of room though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lesley Posted November 28, 2008 Share Posted November 28, 2008 Seems a bit time consuming? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chickenanne Posted December 2, 2008 Share Posted December 2, 2008 I saw those, too, and like the idea of them... but so £expensive! Out of the kindness of my heart, I will allow you to buy one for me and I'll test it for you? A brilliant offer, I think you'll agree!

Couperman Posted December 3, 2008 Author Share Posted December 3, 2008 I have bought all the bits and bobs to build my own, I'll probably put it all together at the weekend. It cost about the same as the Aerogarden only with a much better quality light There is of course no guarantee that it will work as well, but what the heck I will post some pics when I get round to setting it up.
