I’ve been debating on buying a hyrdoponic herb garden system like AeroGarden or making a homemade hydroponic garden.
I think the system is easier. Why? All the guess work is taking out of it. Follow the instructions, plant the seeds, plug it in and you are pretty much done. Just keep the lights on as instructed, monitor the flow of water, add nutrients and that’s it.
A homemade hyrdoponic herb garden, though simple to put together - requires putting it together. That’s a little to intensive for me. Plus I would have be really careful about mold settling in unwanted places, getting the amount of water and nutrients just right, and it being a general eyesore in my kitchen.
I just couldn’t put something together as nice as this.
