Hahah, no doubt. The Aerogarden appeals to me because it's foolproof, and I don't want to mess with huge stuff like your setup. Aerogardens are basically set it and forget it, other than adding water and nutrient packs every few weeks. So easy, and I loves me some cherry tomatoes.

The Canadian Aerogarden website has the Aerogarden Spacesaver 6 for $145, but the US website has an outlet section that has them for $39 USD. A pity I can't order from there.

Anyone know of any plants/flowers/herbs that dont need a lot of light to grow and maintain? We just moved, but our new place has a massive apartment building next to us and blocks all direct sunlight. My basil (etc) was dead in the first two weeks (after surviving for 2 years in full bloom).

depending on how dark it is you might not be able to grow anything there.

btw if you grow basil to eat then you should pinch off all flowers when you first see them budding. when the basil plant uses its energy to grow flowers (rather than vegetation) it loses flavour.

thats fine. im doing nothing illegal.
technically this is not a grow op. a grow op is a term used when people cultivate marijuana.

I have a bunch of different house plants that for the most part do very well, but I can't for the life of me keep a ponytail palm alive. I find myself going out and replacing it every few months. They're so pretty, but I can't keep it alive without the trunk rotting.
What am I doing wrong?
