Awesome! Welcome to the Rise family 🙌🏾💕 I truly love my unit as you can see 😊 I hope you enjoy it and if you ever want me to cover anything that I haven't already done, be sure to send me a message and I will make a video. Thanks for watching and happy gardening 🙌🏾

Have you had success

Thank you so much for your kind words 🙏🏽 💕

Thank you, thank you sooooo much 🙌🏾😊

Thank you for watching!! I am glad you enjoyed it 😊

I am using all Rise Gardens nutrients! They have worked well for me. Checking pH regularly has been very key as well!

AAAWWW THANK YOU SO MUCH🙌🏾 😄😄😄 I appreciate the support 🙏🏽

I'm so glad I could help!! Thanks for watching ☺️

Thank you so much and thank you for watching! What you can do is something called session planting. This is when you start seeds for a particular fruit/veggie that you like every week. For instance, if you like swiss chard. I would start the seeds and perhaps wait for them to sprout and then start another seed pod. This would most likely take up the bottom row of your Family Garden but this gives you the opportunity to harvest them multiple times and always have some. I hope this helps! I just may do a video on this to give it more context! :-)

@@themochafoodiegardener Thanks!!!

In the past I have used the electronic ones but have found over time that when the batteries lose their power, the readings are off. I prefer the General Hydroponics drops and determine the pH readings from the chart. I don't really check my EC.

It all depends on what it is. I typically pull the entire plant, root and all. Although, keep in mind that the roots can get pretty massive and difficult to remove.

Thank you for watching! 😊 I actually use both, pre-seeded pods and I also purchase my own seeds.

Thank you so much for the compliment! I am so happy that you are enjoying them :-)

Thank you! 😊 You absolutely can grow your own seeds by using Rise Garden's seedless pods or Rapid Rooter pods found on Amazon. Good luck and happy gardening 🌿☘️🍀

@@themochafoodiegardener Thank you!

Great questions! I would say if you just want to grow culinary herbs and salad greens, I would stick with the Personal Garden. But from what I am reading, you want to have a more substantial amount so I suggest getting one (you can always add on later) or two to start. I began with two levels and went to a third after a year but still haven't used the 3rd level yet. With two levels you can grow larger fruits and veggies like tomatoes, cucumbers and Swiss chard. The second level will be perfect for herbs, salad greens and flowers. Since you are new, I also suggest that if you do get two levels, start off slow, two large on the bottom, two herbs and salad on the top. I hope this helps 🤗

Thanks I went ahead and got both could see value in both

How long did it take to ship

Awesome! I'd love to hear how things worked out. I got mine around Christmas time in 2019 so it took a month I believe. They were also on backorder. I assume yours should be much quicker.

You can use your own seeds

Thank you!! Yes you can! You can purchase seedless pods from Rise or get thr rapid rooter from Amazon!

I think Rise says you can grow up to 108 with a three-tier but I don't think I've done more than 15 and that is a lot. The garden is super easy but even that is a lot to manage.

From what I understand, the pods are made up of coco coir and peat moss. I hope that helps!

The only time I notice them is if I have something else growing near by. I've used the lights to grow mini potted plants or when I played around with other seeds in mini pots, I did get fungus gnats. I found that it was only when I used coco coir. Otherwise, I've never had an issue. I have heard of a few people who got aphids or spider mites but again, I think it is what you have around the garden.

Thankfully you do not have to pay for the app! It comes Wifi enabled. Once you set up the unit, you are all set! :-D

@@themochafoodiegardener awesome. a primary reason I choose not to buy gardyn.

@@kristinacooper2953 same!

I am so excited 🙌🏾 Thanks for the encouragement ☺️

Be sure to keep it clean and quarantine new plants before bringing them in the house near the garden.
