AeroGarden 812528-0208 Grow Anything Seed Pod Kit, 12

I made the mistake of buying the off brand pods for my aerogarden and had to buy these and start all over again. Will NEVER again buy anything but these pods for seed starting.Works great!

I used these Aerogarden Grow Anything pods to start my vegetable garden indoors. Some of the plugs weren't straight, making contact with the water an issue if I wasn't careful. I also had to make sure that the seeds went all the way down into the opening or else they wouldn't get the moisture they needed to germinate. I love that you put the paper lids on yourself and mark them -- I used a Sharpie -- to avoid any confusion about what you've planted.My tomatoes went wild in these pods in Aerogarden conditions, and of course I needed to transplant them not once but twice. The first time, I cut the plastic holder off -- use REALLY strong cutters -- and planted each in a peat pot full of seedling mix. Once they were established in the pots, with fertilizer keeping them going, and once the temperature was right, I hardened them off outside. After about five days of getting them used to the outdoors, I planted them in my garden. Not surprisingly, they've gotten a great head start on the season. I planted peppers and herbs in my second Aerogarden using these pods, and they did just as well.These require more care than do the ready-to-go pods complete with seeds, but they also give you more versatility when it comes to what you grow. I'm going to repeat the same process next year.-- Debbie Lee Wesselmann

I bought two boxes. Both boxes were missing the labels. Too much of a hassle to return/ replace the kits. I just bought a set of labels separately. Ended up not saving money because I had to buy labels that were suppose to be included in this kit. Very unhappy.

This is the second time I've had issues with quality control from Aerogarden. In a previous order I did not receive all the salad green pods I ordered and this time I did not receive all the seed pod kit items I ordered.The boxes contain the contents just thrown in there loose, which suggests there is room for packing error.Love the overall system but am frustrated with order fulfillment. Two of three orders now have been wrong. The first was through their website and this time through Amazon, so the common denominator here is the company's quality control process.

A while back I bought a 9-pod version and thought it was great. More recently, I bought a 12-pod version. However, this version seems a lot different. The baskets are different and didn't come with pod labels. Not sure if I will buy again
