LittleTechGirl's Digital Homestead
США
Добавлен 3 июл 2012
I’m Kris McDonald, the voice behind the blog, LittleTechGirl.com. I’m a Chicago area wife, mother to two sets of twins, photographer, gadget addict, travel addict, and recent gardening addict. On my blog, I utilize my 20 years+ of skills working in IT and social media to share my obsessions and interests through tips, tricks, and reviews. I also love to travel and share my experiences through photos.
Right now, I'm a bit obsessed with prepping and creating my small urban homestead in the suburbs of Chicago. I have a beautiful thriving indoor garden full of AeroGardens and hydroponics. I'm building a new outdoor garden... transitioning from all pots and containers to raised beds.
I love learning along the way and sharing my experiences.

Thank you so much!
I would love me some green tomatoes! Great harvest!!!
Thanks for sharing
Thanks for the video! I would love to see the outcome of the potatoes in your GreenStalk :) And also if you can your fried green tomatoes, a video of that would be fun to see also. Sad to see the garden ending, it was a great, productive year :)
Nice wrap up video, and congrats on another growing season finishing up. It is supposed to be 32F tonight, and I need to pick remaining tomatoes too. Looking forward to seeing your indoor gardening kick off.
I think you need to bring them all indoor this winter so you can fight bugs all winter. 😂
@@KeithRanly I will be fighting bugs all winter anyway probably. No no I'm not going to claim that. Lol! I'm going to do a deep cleaning scrubbing and debugging of my whole area before I replant down there. 🤞🏾
Yeah I need harvest anything left outside besides broccoli etc that doesnt mind cold
Yep. I still have some collards, chard, lettuce, peas, and a few other things out.
Hello, I have about 5 Aerogardens and 2 of the very 1st Ahopegarden system. Since Aerogarden is going out of business I wanted to get a new system to get my veggies going. Can you tell me if this is a great buy since your video is 8 months old. I also just joined your Facebook page, thanks!
Yes. And the black one is on sale now for only $54.99 - amzn.to/3U3EJra
@littletechgirl2 thank you, I just caught a sale 2 for 79.00 they selling them as a bundle. the black one was 40 and the second one was 30.00. So I'm happy, lol but I still want the transparent one!!! That will be next, thank you!
Where? Used?
@@littletechgirl2 Amazon, NEW!!!
Ahopegarden is the brand
What would be the closest to the farm models in terms of plant height to grow ? I know gardyn is vertical but the plant stems come out slanted which i don't like since the pots are slanted and plants grow upwards
This was a pleasure to watch. Thanks for all the great tip! Do you use lettuce grow nutrients or another brand?
You are very welcome. I do use Jack's if I have it. But, I use mostly MaxiGro in my large systems now - amzn.to/3XTVZ3i
Hi Kris, I am a fan of AeroGarden as well. I’m the proud owner of nine of them and I love growing in them. I was sadden when I received the email about there closing. However, I did take advantage of the 60% off sale, stocking up on extra parts such as motor’s, seed starting kits, filters, micro greens kit, etc. This will be a missed company and the products are excellent for indoor growing and jump starting seeds for transplanting later.
We have 2 aero garden We used that to plant seeds after 1month transpared out side
What a really liked about the Aerogarden was their nutrients. You did not have to worry about PH.
You can still get the nutrients for now. I never ever check pH anyway. But, a great alternative that is also pH buffered is MaxiGro. I use it in a lot of my systems. amzn.to/3XLjJ9C
Thank You So Much for Your Enchouraging Worda about Our Aerogarden,....
first time seeing your videos i want a new hydroponic system what indoor system is as close to as good as aero garden?
Sorry for the late response! There are a few. Check out thise post. There are some great deals now for Prime Days - facebook.com/littletechgirlcom/posts/pfbid0ksi1V2isxNFkq1CoqxZZw1eLk4kd1eHHGYcgEhLo1Si3TXBfhDBxfpxm1nxm9MUdl Also, feel free to come over to my group! facebook.com/groups/aerogardenkratkyfanatics
You’re helping me feel better about this Kris! Thank you for this.
Is anything on sale?
They have a 30% off code fall30
Hi Kris, I'm on the FB group (Shannon). Thanks for doing this video. It's so sad that Aerogarden is shutting down. 😢 They were a pioneer for indoor hydroponics! I'll keep my units going and make the best of it and continue to follow the group. ❤
I am sad.
I can’t say I’m surprised. They were always ridiculously overpriced and charged way too much for their pods. Competitors came along and way undercut them.

I mean, it's a good review but if Aerogarden is shutting down, what do we do now? Any good options out there?
@@seeravv I actually talk about that in my video from yesterday. ruclips.net/video/ULSsiQcvOPQ/видео.htmlsi=qewTXfMPpMqp8W7a
I got the email from them right in a meeting and I swear to god I thought it was spam. I was honestly hurt by this
Sad to hear, but great to know, thank you kindly.
I’m sad. I love Aerogarden’s quality. 😢
Crazy!..just too many good cheap systems now i guess
Thank you for this message and update! Thanks for being there for us! Loved seeing you, love your group! You are my superhero gardener! 💚💚
I got that message on instagram sad 😞
Another oh no!!!
Oh no!!!
What do you use for bugs?
I love how organized you are. You're who I want to be. You're a huge inspiration. Thank you so much! 🙏💛
This is my dream!!
Thank you! This video is over 3 years old! I moved to the basement and have a lot more systems now. LOL.
Great video and wonderful setup you have there! 👊🏻🌻👊🏻
Thank you!
I found thi video to be informative yet not interesting enough to keep watching because the background music is a distraction because it's way too loud with heavy bass🙉🙉🙉🙉🙉☹️☹️☹️
@@poet79eyes which is why I put the little disclaimer and apology at the bottom of the screen at the beginning of the video. 😉
Do you have any other suggested products to use as an alternate for the small trays used in the video? It looks like those are currently unavailable.
Yes! They come under a ton of names on Amazon. These would work too amzn.to/3B4rm3e
This is so incredibly helpful - thank you!
You are very welcome. Thank you for checking it out!
Just watched this video again because I want to make sure I have everything I need for my pepper tower! Your tower is an inspiration 💚
Omg putting lettuce grow tiers into a dishwasher is such a great tip!!! Gonna give it a try! Cleaning the bloody thing is my least favorite part. Maybe until now? Ha! Thanks for sharing so many good tips! Loved the tape tip instead of scotch tape as well. 🙌
I thought this was new. Seeing for the 1st time today. Pretty color.❤
Perfect for ppl who can't garden outside bc of bears.
Do you trim the plant at some point or just let it do it's own thing?

I enjoy seeing your setup, but this didn't tell me how to get rid of whiteflies like the title suggested.
Hey there! As mentioned in the video cleaning he plants and the area is one step. Also, if you check the description there are some useful products mentioned. And lastly, please check out this post over in my group which shares some more tips on getting rid of them- facebook.com/groups/aerogardenkratkyfanatics/posts/984876722197177 This video is over 3 years old and needs to be updated, so I appreciate you bumping i up and bringing that to my attention. :)
How does this model compare to the original when it comes to cleaning? Thanks :)
What do you do to Keep spider mites away from your strawberries 🍓
Great tip using washi tape I have so much tape that I had no use for thank you
Super helpful- thank you!
Will seed seed starting Tray for Harvest fit? Wondering before I order.
Nope. It is larger than a regular Harvest.
