   I've never heard of the thing(s), yet I see a few utoob videos dated back     
   to 2015.  Readily available a a couple of large department stores here     
   too.   
      
   In the past, my family quick-started a variety of plants indoors in the     
   early spring before planting every year.  Then, we always seemed to have     
   enough pickled or preserved food to last the winter months. We kept     
   potatoes in a very cool location, fresh or green tomatos in a dark     
   location covered with straw, and just picked some out when needed.   
      
   I guess the "appliance" approach with aerogarden speaks to the modern     
   urban folk.   
      
   I don't see why anyone couldn't duplicate the same idea with a few pans,     
   soil and lights overhead.  No different than managing houseplants?  But I     
   see the benefit of avoiding messy soil, weeds, aphids, and other things     
   that could affect the plants with the "natural" method.   
      
      
    JK>Next up, I have two other aerogarden planters where that I'll plant   
    JK>tomatoes/peppers/lettuce.  Silly things thrill me, I guess    
      
   At least it provides fresh food for you!  Myself, I've become really lazy     
   and just buy frozen vegs and microwave them to cook.  I get my spices out     
   of a jar.  :)
