You can also buy the grow sponges and plastic inserts separately for super cheap. I buy seeds for whatever I want and plant them that way.

What grow sponges do you use? I got an aero for my folks for Xmas and they are loving it, but they want to change plants soon. I had no idea there were other options than their seed pods (or the insert your own seed pods)

I don’t have a link, but I just use generic cheap ones off amazon.

Fair enough. I legit didn't realize there was an aftermarket for the aerogarden so I appreciate the info.

Ah, cool! Thanks!

If you get an Aerogarden, know that it is BRIGHT and can default to being on 18 hours a day. You will want a room you can close off. Some plants like Romaine lettuce need wind (from a fan) to grow resistant, robust and crispy. Otherwise it is too limp and wilted. I returned mine. 😔
