So, you live in an apartment and don't have a garden but like herbs! Or, let's be honest, you are not really the sort of person who wants to wander down the garded in the pouring rain or snow, to the herb patch that you have been cultivating for months, only to find that everything has been ruined by the weather or eaten by vermin. Perhaps you, like me, are one of these people who knows absolutely nothing about gardening and make do with packet herbs from the local store instead.

Well now, you can grow your own herbs in the luxury of your home. No, I am not suggest that, you dig a hole in the front room and plant the seeds indoors, well not unless you are really keen on getting a divorce. The new way to become a herb gardener is much simpler than that. All you need to do is invest a few dollars in the revolutionary AeroGarden, produced by AeroGrow.

This relatively new product, which comes in some nicely coloured outer casings and with an attractively shaped exterior, is complete with idiot-proof instructions and a starting pack of herb seeds, which might include Mint, Chives. Dill and Basil amongst others and there are a range of other herb seeds that you can purchase, including little Baby Tomatoes and Chillies.

Once you have unpacked the product and spent a few minutes admiring you new purchase, the rest is relatively easy. All that is left to do is to plug it in, turn it on, plant the seeds and add water and nutrients as instructed. The machine will tell you when you need to add more water nd nutrients. The rest, as they say, is up to AeroGarden, which will automatically turn the light on and off to ensure the plants receive the correct level of sunlight, so it even works in darkened rooms. This is handy if you are in the habit of talking to plants and want them near your bed at night.

What is more important is that the machine is environmentally friendly as well and the micro-processor does all the hard work for you, like ensuring that the correct levels of nutrients and water are controlled properly.

There you have it. A 100% guaranteed home herb garden, with no complicated pressure put on those who do not have green fingers. Of course, if you decide to amaze your friends with your herb growing prowess when they come round to dine, you can also be sure that the AeroGarden will not let out its little secret, although it might give a brief light wink to let you know that you secret is safe.
