Hi there,

I bought an Aerogarden not to plant the Herbs that came with it. I found that without the light extender you will not be able to keep the plant out of the lights. I tried to bend them over to utilize the light and the stalks were so fragile that they broke. I was pissed. so i would not recomend this unless you want to spring for the light extender. Also the light is not strong enough to support more than one plant.

Good luck
