Rating: - Tomato limitsDon't be disappointed - read the fine print - you can only grow three tomato plants in a seven pot AeroGarden or one plant in a three pot AeroGarden. Otherwise, it's a fine product. Rating: - Sprouted in just 3 daysThe seeds sprouted within 3 days just like it said and within a week tripled in size. Arugula is one of my favorite salad greens but I always have a tough time keeping them alive in my outdoor garden. So far it looks like the plants are going to thrive in the Aerogarden! Rating: - no peppers at all grows taller than garden not advised to get this seed kit. the peppers grow taller than the aero-garden before setting any fruit. stick with the basic herbs that come with the original garden as they are the only ones that will grow in the limited space. Rating: - Not as bad as others sayI have to agree with one of the other reviews that the kit does become "Bushy" and large for an aerogarden. I actually thought this might happen since I have grown String beans in an outdoor garden and have seen how big these plants can get. The size of the "crawl" and the overall size of the plants is much smaller than what you would see in an outdoor garden so don't let the reviews put you off. The plant will hang over and spread, but so does my lettuce garden. As far as output goes my review is somewhat tainted with the fact that my pump gave out 3 months into growing and I did not figure this out until it was too late to recover. I harvested a decent sized bowl not too long ... Read More Rating: - Disappointed with this kit.This is the first Aerogarden kit that I have not been pleased with. My two Cilantro pods did not sprout at all. I contacted Aerogarden and they said there is a known issue with the Cilantro and they are investigating ways to fix it. I would not recommend purchasing this kit until they work out the problem. The other herbs are growing just fine. The Epazote is growing like crazy- although I'm not sure what to cook with it. |
Ted Shelton: "Frankly I felt that BlogOn was a waste of time and money."
I think the BlogOn conference was overproduced. In the name of professionalism the organizing firm turned off potential speakers, oversubscribed sponsors, etc.
I would have liked a debatable topic (aside from *blogging = journalism*. Two people slugging it out. Or a devil's advocate taking challenges from the floor.
I would have liked more hard numbers. Facts. Charts. Diagrams. We have the analytic tools to BS-check them; harder on vague opinions and single-points-of-observation.
I found it disturbing how much money was being commanded (from both attendees and sponsors) for a conference at a university. Maybe it was because it was at Berkeley? Maybe we should have taken over a community college or a Cal State or a DeVry. The facilities costs would have been cheaper at least. I heard an organizer apologize and say the next one would be at a hotel, like that would have been better.
Cost wasn't the whole problem. We're at a stage where early adopters are meeting folks who want to leap the chasm. Huge gaps in knowledge, experience, context, culture, vocabulary. It's the gap.
There are huge ideas to be explored, even in the world of applying blogs to media strategy and the enterprise. And most of the big ideas weren't even on the agenda at BlogOn. Probably because it was catering to those who want to commercialize, fund, and otherwise exploit (excuse me, "get in on") the emerging medium.
Let's fork these conferences so advanced topics on business and technology and culture fit the participants.
