The Miracle-Gro AeroGarden is a smart countertop indoor garden made by AeroGrow International. The AeroGarden features proprietary technology which helps consumers grow fresh herbs, vegetables, salad greens and more indoors, year-round, using hydroponics. The seeds come in special seed pods, or consumers can use their own seeds with a custom kit. The plants receive artificial sunlight with built in, full spectrum CFL or LED grow lights that turn on and off automatically. Most AeroGardens have an adjustable light hood that can be used to grow taller plants, such as tomatoes. The AeroGarden comes in several different designs, colors and sizes, accommodating three, six, seven or nine seed pods at one time. All of the AeroGardens make use of liquid nutrient that is mixed into the water reservoir. Reminders tell the user when to add water and the patented liquid nutrients. Using hydroponics, roots soak in nutrient-rich water and no soil is needed. AeroGarden comes with plastic domes to put over seed pods to encourage germination, however, these can cause excessive humidity and cause mold if kept on too long.
