It does exactly what it says, and it's nice to have fresh herbs all the time for cooking. I found myself looking for herb-heavy recipes in order to use all I had. I finally dried some of it. You will need to prune carefully. The basil, dill and parsley takes over, leaving the mint, oregano, and thyme without a lot of space and light to grow. Pruning efficiently should help with this. I specifically wanted cilantro and was substituted thyme. That didn't thrill me, but I'm going back for more. I plan on buying my second system for cherry tomatoes. Will plant more herbs, and will eventually get a system for greens. All in all a good purchase. I have just finished a growing cycle with one of these machines.

Have you looked at any of the other <a href="http://howtogardenguide.com/2007/05/15/aerogrow-seed-pods/" rel="nofollow">Aerogarden seeds</a> to see what might work best. I don't know if the leafy things like lettuce are the only things that will work, or if peppers and the like will work as well. I’m interested in getting one of these for my folks.
