Indoor Kitchen Gardening Update Video
I had so much fun making this video! It is super fun sharing how easy it really is to grow a garden indoors with the right products. In this video you will see my set up including a few products you must have. I share links to to those products later in this post so be sure to scroll down and check it out. Watch the video on my website and follow me on YouTube @brenhaas if you like.
Indoor Kitchen Gardening Update Must Have Products
Here is a list of the products I mention in the video feature. Trust me when I say go with the ‘Aerogarden’ because it really is the product you can trust. I bought a generic hydroponics after using the Aerogarden and WOW!!!! BIG MISTAKE! The Aerogarden makes it so easy for anyone to grow indoors with the latest technology. I’d love it if you use my Amazon Affiliate link to purchase yours today.
Another must have for this set up is the Aerogarden Herb Pods. I highly recommend this because the company stands behind their products. I have been growing edibles for a long time and they do have the right varieties to help you grow success.
In the video I mention getting store bought herbs to hold you over until the Aerogarden seeds start to produce. You can find these plants in most grocery stores. Just look for the USDA organic label on the packages in your produce isle.
The hydroponic clay rocks, jar and plant holder I hope to share details about in a later video so be sure to subscribe to my website newsletter email list. This method is called Kratky method.
The self-watering container I move in front of the Aerogarden lights is a Lechuza product. You can find more about this set up and how I grow herbs in it on my website at: Growing Herbs Indoors with Lechuza.
Below are some of the lettuce containers mention in this video. Learn more about growing lettuce on my website.
