Don't use an Aerogarden. I have one. I use it for Basil, cilantro, and parsley. It is powered by 2 26 watt bulbs in an 8" x 16" area. It looks neat, but you would have to trim like a son of a gun. For that price you could get a 125 watt cfl and make a bubble bucket or flood and drain system that would wax it.
