AeroGrow International: A Bargain at Under $5

as an avid gardener, i'd love to have one... but it's really just an expensive toy.

for an afternoon of work and $50 (TOPS), a suburbanite could plant a full garden. (obviously, someone living in a high-rise doesn't have the same luxury).

However, at $150 initial cost and super expensive seeds, any real monetary gains usually enjoyed when gardening are nullified.

So, it's a nice toy, but not a revolutionary product. as we're almost in/entering/in/emergin... from a recession, who's going to spend $200 for a tabletop garden?
