20% off sitewide including LED gardens

TL;DR: As of April 17, Aerogarden is having a 20% off sitewide sale in celebration of Earth Day, as well as offering up to 33% off its hydroponic indoor gardens. 

Going to the grocery store is pretty terrifying right now. Despite most people wearing masks and gloves like they should, it’s natural to get paranoid about everything that’s been touched. People are constantly looking for ways to spend as little time in there as possible.

If you’re wishing you could just grow your own stuff without committing to a garden, you can: Aerogarden’s countertop hydroponic gardens use timed LED lights to grow herbs, veggies, and flowers year-round without sun. As a shout out to Earth Day, Aerogarden is having a 20% off sitewide sale with code EARTHDAY. In addition, you can save up to 33% on all hydroponic indoor gardens. Sale prices range from $39.96 to $329.95.

Being able to grow all of your own produce will be handy even when public outings go back to normal. Plastic bag bans are a revolutionary step toward eliminating single-use plastic waste, but they skip another major waste offender at the grocery store: unnecessary packaging. Plastic boxes, cling wrap, or styrofoam trays are almost guaranteed with the produce you buy.

EWG.org (the Environmental Working Group) publishes an annual “Dirty Dozen” list that highlights grocery store fruits and veggies that tested for the highest pesticide content. 2020’s list contains things many of us buy on a weekly basis like tomatoes, spinach, apples, and red peppers. Aerogarden offers pods for numerous veggies on that list, so you can now grow them at home without worry of what they’ve been sprayed with. Other pods include leafy greens like bok choi, herbs like basil, and a lot of flowers.

Some models can hold nine pods at once while the mini ones max out at three. More expensive planters (like the Bounty Elite) are WiFi and Alexa-enabled, while the cheaper Harvest Elite is better for beginners. Some designs are also optimized for herbs that grow upright. Aerogarden claims that its water-based system grows plants five times faster than soil, and each model will remind you when it’s time to feed your plants.
