Cheap AeroGarden 2490-21S 2490-21S Classic 7-Pod Indoor Gardening System with Herb 'n Serve Dressing Mixer and Herb Chef Seed Kit, Silver Review

I have 2 Aerogarden 7 pod Classic systems (the Classic 7 pod, 2 season herb w/ dressing mixer & a 7 pod Classic). I'm on my 2nd round of herbs & 1st round of tomatoes. My beans croaked. My results have been mixed on both units, and I learned the following from talking to Customer Service:

1) use distilled water
2) make sure the nutrient tablets aren't mushy
3) store nutrient tablets in the freezer
4) Aerogarden should be switched over to liquid nutrients by November 2009 (12/16/09: Customer Service now say early next year for the liquid nutrients).

I've had mixed results in growing my herbs & beans. Basil grows like gangbusters, as does the mint & chives, but the rest have been slow to grow or don't grow well at all. I've called Customer Service multiple times, and each time the representative has been wonderful and helpful. They are also quick to replace non-growing seed pods, just as their warranty states. However, even with switching out the grow bulbs after 6 months, I'm still frustrated with my results and hope that the liquid nutrients will be the turning point for my future gardens.

Since Customer Service is convinced that Aerogarden users will see much better results with liquid nutrients, I will update with results once the liquid nutrients are shipped with the seed pods. As of today's date, Aerogarden is still shipping with the messy nutrient tablets.
