AeroGarden Harvest 2.0 Review: A Compact Six-Pod Garden for Small Kitchens
The AeroGarden Harvest 2.0 updates the classic Harvest idea with a sleeker profile, detachable 15W LED grow light, dark grow deck, and simple nutrient reminders.
It is smaller than the Harvest Elite and Bounty models already on the site, which makes it useful for apartments, office counters, and narrow kitchen shelves.
