Our Miracle-Gro AeroGarden 3SL Indoor Garden Helped Us Grow Our Own Herbs!

Remember when I shared that we were testing out a soil free indoor garden? It’s been a few weeks now and I’m happy to report that our garden is doing well and growing! Both the basil and dill we planted have sprouted and we’re waiting on the parsley to grow. I’m looking forward to the time I can use my fresh homegrown herbs to cook! Here’s a more detailed review of our experience with the Miracle-Gro AeroGarden 3SL indoor garden.

Miracle-Gro AeroGarden 3SL Indoor Garden Review

Overall, I’m pleased with our Miracle-Gro AeroGarden 3SL. I like that I can grow fresh herbs and vegetables right in my kitchen without the mess of soil. This type of soil-free indoor garden is perfect for people like me that are not very good at gardening. The Miracle-Gro AeroGarden 3SL sells for $49.97 at Walmart and comes with a gourmet herb seed kit. It’s only five inches wide, so it will perfectly fit on your kitchen counter top or other small space! Using only water, nutrients, and air (no soil!), the AeroGarden 3SL can grow a variety of herbs, vegetables, and even flowers.

I have had some minor hiccups in using my AeroGarden 3SL, but am still hoping to get them resolved. One thing is that my indoor garden stopped bubbling. After trying what the customer service personnel suggested, it began to bubble again for a little bit, but eventually we noticed the motor wasn’t running at all. I have to say that the AeroGarden customer service folks were super friendly and helpful, though. Additionally, despite the bubbling not currently working for me, my herbs are still growing! I’ll admit I was pleasantly surprised about that. Hopefully, by calling customer service again, I’ll be able to resolve the problem altogether so that my herbs can continue growing properly.

If you’re looking for a holiday gift for gardening fans, home cooks, or kids with an interest in gardening, the Miracle-Gro AeroGarden 3SL is a good option. My kids have been loving watching the herbs grow and tracking their progress. It’s definitely been a fun experience so far with our soil-free indoor garden, one I’m sure your family will also enjoy!
