What can I grow in a smart garden?

Herbs (basil, cilantro, dill, mint, parsley), salad greens (lettuce, arugula, kale), small peppers, cherry tomatoes, and strawberries. Taller plants like tomatoes need gardens with adjustable-height lights (AeroGarden Bounty). Root vegetables and large fruiting plants are not suitable for countertop smart gardens.

How much do smart garden pods cost to replace?

AeroGarden pods cost $3-5 per pod. Click & Grow pods cost $4-6 per pod. Third-party compatible pods are available for some systems at lower prices. You can also buy empty pods and use your own seeds for the lowest cost per grow cycle. Pod costs are comparable to buying herbs at the grocery store but provide fresher, longer-lasting harvests.
