Kitchen Hydroponic Gardens Review and Comparison | Aerogarden, IDOO, ClickandGrow & Vegebox 

Thanks! This helped me realize that a Click and Grow is what would be best for me. We'll see how it goes.

Helpful, but it would have been more equitable to compare the AeroGarden Sprout to the 3-pod Click & Grow.

Thanks for the review. I have 1 aero garden harvest,1 click and grow and 2 9 pod aero gardens. The aero garden harvest was very nice to use. It is being cleaned at the moment. I will be trying out the click and grow.

You might have been using the wrong light mode for the IDOO garden. The red and blue lights are for the later growth stages. For vegetative growth, there's the warm white / yellow light mode. Fun and informative video 😊

thanks for the review,, well presented and good commentary

Excellent video, thanks very much!

Just the video that I needed

We have five Aerogardens and three Idoos. We have found the Idoos to be much better than the AGs.

Why did you let your basil bloom? You're supposed to trim that off to keep it from going to seed. If you prevent that, a basil plant will keep going in good shape for 6 months.

It appears that you are using an early version of the Idoo 12 with the short, stubby grow sponges. What they found was that the water level would often fall below the bottom of the sponge, cutting off the plant from water and nutrients. Even when the sponge barely touched the water, it would not always wick up the proper moisture and nutrition. When this happened early in the grow cycle, the plants were stunted or failed completely. This was a design problem that you correctly uncovered. The new Idoo 12 uses a basket and sponge system nearly identical to the Aerogarden. Success is much better. By the way, I use Urban Leaf grow sponges all the time in my AG Bounty's and they're very successful.

Have you done a review for the letpot hydroponic systems?

The idoo sponges might be defective, they looked extremely dry, mine had no issues spreading roots through the sides

How I would love to watch the rest of this video, but the blinking lights are giving me a seizure.

What about click and grow model with 9 pods?

The basil in the Idoo looks like something is wrong with it. Also, your calculations for cost appear to be wrong. If you are doing 16 hours/day at 33 watts that is approximately 0.5 kwh/day or 183 kwh/year - not 300 kwh.

the blinking lights make it hard to watch
