AeroGarden Harvest 2.0, Indoor Garden Hydroponic System with LED Grow Light, Holds up to 6 Pods, Cream

Had to discontinue gardening early last summer due to a fall which necessitated hip surgery. This little hydroponic garden has brought some of that joy back to me. Was disappointed when I set it up that the light didn't go on, however, an email to AeroGarden's customer service got a quick response with an answer to what I had missed in the set up and it was fixed. Planted 4 pods with the lettuce seeds that came with it and 2 with some chive seeds I had. Within 3 days tiny lettuce leaves were showing and are now (a week later) they are flourishing happily above the label. One of the chive plants is also peeking above the label now. Look forward to checking my little garden's progress every morning!

We are a household of tomato lovers. After taste testing several varieties last year, this year we’ve narrowed down to the True Black Brandywine beefsteak type, and a British cherry tomato favorite, Black Opal. I use the Aerogarden to give us a jump on the season every year. I’ve owned several types of Aerogardens over the past decade. Even though some had advanced Bluetooth features there was an element of hassle to each one. I already appreciate this one. From the time you plug it in this Aerogarden keeps the grow light on for 15 hours each day. I plugged mine in at 6 AM, so the light should remain on from 6 AM to 9 PM daily. Although the light is scheduled, I still have control. Briefly placing my finger on the light switch concealed between the leaf emblem and the “add plant food” reminder light on top of the grow light allows me to turn the light off and on manually. The tub is small and dishwasher safe on the top rack when it’s dissembled (see instruction manual for more). My other models didn’t have this feature. And what a feature it is! With other models I had to circulate a special cleaner in a full tank of water for 24 hrs to get rid of algae before replanting. With this one I just pop the tank in the dishwasher and this Aerogarden is ready for replanting as soon as the cycle is finished! It is sturdy, and, based on past experience with other models, I expect it to be reliable. Now for the downside: Correct me if I’m wrong, but I understand the Aerogarden division of Scott’s Miracle Grow is shutting down. Blurbs I’ve read say they will continue to support existing products, but for how long I can’t predict. You might want to buy extra supplies as a hedge against future shortages. This notwithstanding, all I can say is, for the price, this is a great little unit! Highly recommended.

Got this with the AeroGarden tomato and celery pods. The pods grew quickly but reach up to the light long before the tomatoes fruit. The light really needs to extend a few inches higher than it currently does to account for veggies that will not be transplanted to soil. The lettuce is also up past the highest extension and gets "burned" by the lights. UPDATE: I've now had the Harvest 2.0 for almost a year and have found two problems -- not just with Aerogarden but all of these small hydroponics systems. 1-This is NOT a garden. This is a great seed starter to transplant after your plants reach 6-9 inches in height. Seeds germinate very quickly and the plants grow very fast. They quickly outgrow the "garden". All those photos you see on Amazon, I don't know how they could possibly get that full of plants in this device - especially with all that fruit in the photos. 2-If you are purchasing a hydroponics setup for the first time, what I have learned the hard way is that you need to spend a little more and get a unit that has a light head that will extend from 6" to at last 24". Anything shorter and your plants, especially tomatoes, will grow right over the light head. Also, many of my plants I tried growing in the Harvest 2.0 suffered from severe "sunburn" because they grew up to the lights so fast. Just an FYI, the Aerogarden trellis does not work very well with the Harvest 2.0 because the light base is about 3/4 inch too high for the trellis to reach the cover. Also, the Aerogarden AeroVoir Garden Watering System add-on is a fantastic add-on. It saves a LOT of hassles watering your system and wondering if its at the correct water level.

I purchased the **AeroGarden Harvest Lite in Cream** and it’s a very attractive addition to my kitchen — the soft cream finish gives a cozy, modern look, and the compact design fits nicely on my counter. The LED grow light with the built-in timer is convenient and seems well-designed for plant growth. I used seeds from another seller rather than AeroGarden seeds. So far, only 2 out of the 6 pods have successfully grown herbs, while the other 4 developed mold. I think this may be due to the seed quality or how they were stored, but it was disappointing to see so much waste. The water and plant food indicator lights are helpful and make the system easy to use, especially for beginners like me. Overall, it’s a stylish, easy-to-use indoor garden, but success may depend heavily on the seeds you use. I’d recommend it more if using official AeroGarden seed pods or high-quality seeds.

I always have two of these going on a little table in my kitchen. Cycle through growing herbs, lettuce, and the Tiny Tim tomatoes. Most of my seeds were ordered separately, but the Black Seeded Simpson lettuce that came in a packet with each machine does pretty well too. I ordered an extra jug of the Aerogarden fertilizer and that seems to be going all right so far. I root cuttings (basil mostly) in jars next to them, where they can get the overflow light. Also do jars of sprouts sometimes. The mental health benefits of watching tiny green sprouts coming up any time of the year is immense. To be fair, I did get mine a couple years ago, $45 each, on sale when Aerogarden was maybe going out of business. I might feel less enthusiastic about them if I had paid more. Attached are some picture from a month or so ago (late winter 2026) when I was growing dill (that's a partial toilet paper tube around the base of the plant; keeps it from falling over), fenugreek, watercress, and two different kinds of basil.
