Click and Grow Indoor Herb Garden Starter Kit 9 Plant Pods Included (3 Parsley, 3 Thyme, 3 Basil) | Easier Than Hydroponics Growing System | Automated Quiet Technology with Grow Lights | Sage

I had reservations, but the Click and Grow Garden has been awesome in my apartment kitchen. I love plants and have wanted fresh herbs, but with low sunlight and the blackest of thumbs (mostly forgetting to water) no option has worked. Easy to keep watered, especially with the floating indicator for water level -- even I can grow fresh herbs with this system!!Every morning my kid and I look excitedly for the latest plant development (literally) - what's sprouted, what the leaves and stems look like, how they grow. It's pretty exciting, and educational.The herbs all sprouted but cilantro (which is a known finicky plant to sprout). The lettuce grew so fast and so high! It was the monster crowding out other plants, so I popped its pod out using the label tab, and swapped with another plant. It was that easy! I bought a small packet of cilantro seeds and added them to the lagging cilantro pod and - whether it was the old or new seeds I don't know - soon had little seedlings. The dwarf pea plant was throwing out little vine tendrils so I taped a green ribbon over the grow light bar and to the pod, as a mini trellis - good thing it's getting huge and would crowd the other plants, and this way it is growing how it likes.Their customer service pinged me to check up on how it was working and anything they could do. (Excellent customer support!) I appreciated that touch, and felt like they really cared about making sure customers were happy.I had tried the AeroGarden, but it was bulky - taking up counter space - and ugly and stopped working. The Click and Grow has much more minimal lights, which I believe is LED or something similarly low power draw.In short, I love the Click and Grow Garden!

Easy to use. Every pod had multiple seeds that sprouted into strong healthy plants. After 4 weeks, the basil, pak choi, and red kale are over 5 inches tall, the mibuna is 7 inches tall. The tomato and chili peppers will take longer to grow, but look strong and healthy. The green lettuce sprouted beautifully, too, we ate that last night. My intention is to transplant some of the longer lasting plants (chili peppers, herbs, tomatoes, etc) when they grow bigger.Some suggestions:1) If your plants are growing too close to the grow lights, consider buying extension arms (1 set) directly from Click and Grow. Inexpensive. I don't think the extension arms are sold on Amazon.2) The official Click and Grow website seems to have more variety of pods than through Amazon. Check it out, same price, but you may have to pay for shipping.3) Had an issue with mold and, while they say it's harmless, it just doesn't look very nice. I gently scraped it off, pulled the plant cups from the garden (keeping the pods/plants in the cups) to dry out over night and sprinkled ground cinnamon on the cup opening where the soil is exposed and popped them back in. This was on the website (you can dry them out 1-2 days) and seems to be working. Will follow another reviewer's advice to put damp rid near the garden.With being home so much due to pandemic, it has been a joy to watch them grow from seeds and enjoy tasty herbs and veg. And it'll be wonderful to have things green and growing during the winter. Have little direct sunlight in this house, so growing thing indoors has been hard. Not anymore!

Everything sprouted and is growing vigorously. Can’t wait to tru out the edibles.

I have had this going for five weeks. Easy to setup and it works with the pods. However, mold is a big problem for some of the pods, not all of them got moldy, but, several did. The plants were large enough to be planted at that point. That’s the reason for four stars. Be aware this can happen.

I moved to US about 20 years ago from far east region of Russia. Growing up my mom took me to the outside of the town to gather wild strawberries with bunch of relatives multiple times during the summers. In fact it was the sweetest berries you can get in the wild in my region.I enjoyed the harvest all the time. Furthermore she would brew wild strawberry jam and collect the jars in the basement for winter. It was memorable event every time the single jar gets put on the table during cold season! When I came to US I learnt the nobody cares about wild strawberries. The only place that sells the tinny jam jars was authentic east European stores. A single exporter to US was Belorussian company. And it was enough until recently. Then the sets of sanctions against Russia and Belorussia gets implemented again and again. Most of the Russians don’t care about wild strawberries but I do! Soon I could not find any wild strawberry jam for sale at all.I started looking into growing this plant and cooking the jam myself, just to remember my childhood. But being IT professional I don’t enjoy physical garden work and wild strawberries are not that spreader in NJ state wilderness where I live. I turned my attention to this product. I get to grow wild strawberries indoors for close to nothing effort! I hope I can get enough berries to brew a pound of wild strawberry jam! If this plan works I will be happy. I had first garden for a month and I see my plants are growing. I am still anxious to see the flowers and the berries. I decided to purchase a second garden. Perhaps I will buy more in the future.The only thing for improvement is that the pods are small and limited to 4 months of growth. I wish there was an option (for more invested customers) where I can grow one pod for 6 months and longer. I would buy advanced option with bigger pods.Overall I recommend this product.Thanks!

All the plants are coming up! If it was a race lettuce would win! Followed by basil and tomatoes. It’s fascinating to see growth so quick!!

The click and grow is super easy to use. We go away from the house for several days at a time. It's great to know our herbs growing in the click and grow are fine while we're gone. Things grow very fast. We had lettuce fully grown in only a few weeks.

I like everything about this product. I love I can grow so many things at once. It has a stronger light than the click and grow three pod set. Every other light looks like a heat lamp. It is not so bright and glaring at night when it’s on. It has high enough arms with strong enough lights that one doesn’t have to have a second arm to fit in when the plants grow too tall. This makes it much easier to use.

Absolutely love the click and grow. I travel often and am away from home for weeks at a time. Even when I'm at home, I can't seem to keep a plant alive... the number of orchids/flowers I've killed regardless of the research I've done and money/time I've spent on products and what to do, nothing seems to help (never even attempted edible plants)!I live downtown and have always wanted a garden but don't have the space and can't dedicate the time. When I read the criticisms around this product, it mostly comes from true gardeners; this is not a replacement for a gardener and obviously won't compare to the real deal. I read about 'stunted plants because of lack of room for root growth' - this is not meant to be a forever garden or for re-planting. The plants last max around 90 days from my experience. You should be aware of what your buying, it's a nice little fix for the city dweller.. and it really does do the trick for those of us who can't keep plants going to save our lives!I use the app and it gives me the piece of mind (as a non-gardener), that it's not me, the plant need x-amount of time. The only criticism I'd have is that it'd be nice if they publicized the plant's longevity/bundled those that are similar; it'd be nice to have that info ahead of time so I can buy plants with the same lifecycle so some aren't at peak while others are maturing. Not a big deal to many, I know. But if you're away for a while, I would buy a plant with a longer lifecycle so I could enjoy it more.Excellent product, it's so nice to wake up and see the daily progress and progress over time with minimal effort (literally just need to add water every few weeks) and have edible plants! I've killed so many basil plants from being away too long and now I'm free from worry and have the peace of mind to travel and have the (mini) garden I always wanted!

It came with 3 of each: tomatoes, lettuce, basil. However i’d Bought a 3 pack of strawberries, so I planted that instead of the lettuce. This thing is wonderful! Everyone who has seen it loves it! 8 of the 9 pods grew out. Unfortunately one of the strawberries did not. However, since there were 3 tomato plants that grew out of one pod, I gently plucked out one of them and gently stuffed it into the pod that did not grow out, and voila! it grew beautifully!! So I had 3 basil, 4 tomato and 2 strawberry pods!Once the tomatoes start growing out, you will actually get quite a number - currently this is perfect for a couple. Next i’m Planning on just planting different types of lettuce and hopefully I Don’t need to get much store bought lettuce. So yes it’s not yet as practical (until I plant things I will actually eat frequently!)Also it’s been over 4 months, the basil plant does die off eventually, next it looks like the tomato plants will die off as the weight of the tomatoes just brings the whole plant down! Perhaps if you care for it more than I do, they could survive longer - I am going to try to see if these could be replanted to another pot. I’ll update on that. Strawberries are still going strong (and a few tomato plants are still bearing new flowers!)

We love our interior garden. Plants started to grow a few days after we watered the pods. We love to watch them grow! We plan on buying more pods.
