So I've been trying to cultivate some fresh herbs in my apartment but as I only get a minimal amount of light through my east facing patio door, they're not doing so well. My mom must have felt sorry for me when I showed them to her on her last visit so yesterday she gave me a present. It's an aeroponic indoor garden called (wait for it...) the AeroGarden. Anyhow, it is the supposed fail-safe method to grow all sorts of plants indoors. I'm going to track the growth of my traditional herbs, which I planted about a month ago, versus the AeroGarden herbs which I planted this morning. The photo below compares the AeroGarden (left - obviously) to the old-fashioned herbs as they appear on day one of this study. By week 9 I'm supposed to have a lush StarTrek-esque garden. We'll see...
