Product review: Read this before buying the aerogrow AeroGarden countertop herb garden Mike Adams, the Health Ranger See article keywords and concepts

By the way, if you're really looking for a true hydroponic system, you can buy a 24-inch by 24-inch growing tray, with a 20-gallong water container, plus a much stronger pump and plumbing, all for less than the retail price of the aerogrow AeroGarden system. Check out www.GardenWaves.com to see their "2 x 2 Ebb & Flow Hydroponic System," which as of this writing retails for $143.00. Of course, you'll need lights, but I do recall there's a large thermonuclear-powered lighting device located somewhere in our solar system that provides light for free.

I acquired an aerogrow AeroGarden device several months ago in order to test the unit for review. What I discovered surprised me: the AeroGarden product generates no mist or spray whatsoever. In fact, as far as I can tell, it has no true aeroponic capabilities at all. Rather, the device simply dribbles a water/nutrient solution over plant roots which then hang suspended in a tub of water. For the life of me, I can't figure out how anyone could call this an aeroponic device at all.

The very fact that aerogrow is constructively engaged in problem solving and is interested in a conversation about these criticisms speaks volumes about the company's integrity. It shows that they are not simply trying to pull a fast one on consumers and are, in fact, working to resolve issues in a way that is acceptable to the green living community. Depending on the outcome of this upcoming conversation, I may choose to significantly alter, edit or enhance the original article that appears below. I will, of course, keep NewsTarget readers informed of these actions.

It seems bewildering that the aerogrow company would even feel justified in claiming the device uses aeroponic technology at all. Even the name of the unit, AeroGarden seems to imply some level of aeroponics. But as a 30-second evaluation of the device clearly reveals, there is nothing in the AeroGarden device that creates, "a fine mist of nutrients." No sprayers, no high-pressure pump, and no mist-creating devices whatsoever. So what's with all the promotional text describing the AeroGarden unit as NASA-like technology that can create a fine mist of nutrients?
