AeroGarden Bounty Basic - Indoor Garden with LED Grow Light, Black

I have several Harvests & I have wanted a Bounty for a long time. I finally got it. I'm so excited. It is up & running & just waiting for me to decide what to grow in it first. It set up quickly & I really like the new info screen. It has the time, the water level, what garden choice, how many days planted & how many until feed time. No more having to scroll through the options to remember what my settings were if the power goes out. The base has a great gardening tips button, which I haven't even checked it all out yet. The 24" head/light arm can be removed if & when I would need to. It will be great to see all of the basic info without having to lift the deck to check water. The screen is very clear & the entire base is sleek & looks very rich. Can't wait to put some new pods in. It doesn't take up much more room than my Harvest so it is nicely tucked in among some of my small plants where they will be able to benefit from the LED lighting. I've been very pleased with my previous AG's & I'm sure this will be just as good. They just keeping getting better. Thank You AeroGarden for creating such great units that are affordable & so well thought out, so we can garden year round. Updates to follow as crops grow & produce. 11-25-19 I have had some time to adjust to the new 2019 Bounty & I like it so much I just bought another. They are whisper quiet, the info screen gives me all of the pertinent info needed for water level, days planted, when to feed as well as little grow tips & time. The larger tank & deck are great & Im sure my Incredible Edibles are going to love the room to grow. I also get some extra fun because it gives me room to create little scenes to go along with the plant life. I have created a seascape on both AG's. since I have numerous other plants sitting around the units sharing the light this becomes a full Aquatic picture. A couple of sunken ships, some sea life, a diver & it becomes a live scene because the plants are all real & edible so it will constantly change. It is such a pleasure to grow some of my own food & create some art at the same time. If you have ever been undecided about getting a Bounty then get one, you will not be disappointed. It is so versatile. I can small crops or now with the taller light ability I will be able to put in some cucumbers, snap peas, larger peppers & even a few bushes that will go into my yard in the spring to produce berries for the birds. Great unit AGpic #1 original Bounty #2 Bounty 1 with Edibles -all the plant life here is edible #3 the 2nd Bounty- the Diver had Lavender & Mint.2020 12-20-20 Its been over a yr now & I still love my Bounty's. I have 4 now & have grown tomatoes, peppers, lettuce, cukes, edible flowers, herbs/spices, flowers & several other veggies. Many went out into my small outside garden & then I started more. I have preserved herbs/spices & many of the peppers. I have a good collection of seeds from all that I have grown & have used them for new crops as the current ones are rotated to outside or the freezer. I havent bought any of these items in a store for a yr now & its fantastic. Also with the issues with covid I am not concerned of where my produce & some of my veggies come from because they are grown in my kitchen. I have 4 Bountys now, 4 Harvests, 2 360-s & an AG3. It handles all that I need plus extras for my neighbor friend. If you can only get 1 or 2 gardens get at least the Bounty Basic. It will handle almost anything you put in it. Its as easy as it gets to set up & take care of & you will always have something to eat or pretty to look at right at your fingers.

Second one I have bought. Perfect for an apartment. Works well, the plants grow so fast. Love the green color. Easy to use

I bought this as a gift and as part of a lightning deal on Amazon, so the value was a steal as it cost over half less what I paid for mine. The black look is why better than my unit, and it is just as easy to set up as most Aerogardens. The size is perfect for a kitchen counter or end of a kitchen island. And so far, it is functioning as expected as the recipient set it up the same day I gave it to him, and lettuce growing within a week.

Love this plant grower! I have harvested directly from the unit and have also planted the seedlings outside once they had a good established root system. Very easy and works great!

I took off one star since the directions included with this grower are extensive but not detailed in the sense that it doesn't explain some things I learned after reading Amazon reviews. First of all, the light and pump will not turn on until you put water in it. The steps in the booklet tells you to put water in first, but doesn't tell you if you don't do that first, the light and pump won't go on. It's built with a sensor that tells the pump to run, and if the sensor senses there is no water in the reservoir, it will not turn on and neither will the light. So, for anyone wanting to test the power on the grower to ensure it works before using it, you can't test this item until you put it together and add water to it. Secondly, like another reviewer mentioned, once you have the water in it and plug it in, and when you put the light on its adjustable arm, you have to almost use your fist on the top of the light, and do a quick pound on the top of it to get the entire apparatus to light up and run. Make sure the light and its arm "snap" into place. The only way I could do it was to pound on the top of the light and then the light and pump automagically started up. This kit does not come with seeds. You need to buy your own. I live in Florida and planted partial sun-loving herbs that don't do well in my western exposure yard: thyme, cilantro, dill and parsley. The spearmint is slowly starting to come up and isn't shown in the photo but others are doing well.

I started using Aerogarden back in 2019. Back then I purchased a Bounty, Harvest, and Sprout. I’m hooked on their products. I’m so sad that they won’t be putting out anything else so I’ve purchased 3 of these Harvest 2.0. I will say this and another reviewer mentioned this too. The lights are wonky. They don’t always follow the schedule. Sometimes I have to turn them on and other times I have to turn them off. I don’t mind since I love in home gardening but if your looking for set it and forget it this newer version may not be for you. Otherwise no noise, easy to use, perfect size for leafy greens, and at this price compared to what I paid for my first systems this is a great value for the money! Pictures: On 6/15/25 I transplanted some struggling seedlings from another system that I started on 5/31/25. The last picture was taken 7/1/25.
