I'm finding a lot of interesting AG accessories on Etsy, and many now showing up on Amazon. I ordered some baskets for the older model AGs since the old baskets are shorter than the new ones, and the newer seed pod kits have the longer baskets. I have also ordered light pole extenders for Harvest Elite models and Bounties, various spacers, and some special onion growing baskets that work great in my Sprout.
I have not ordered that adapter since I don't like to use all the existing holes in a Harvest deck... but it is an option for some people.
Have you found any interesting accessories?

I saw that a couple weeks ago but it says it’s for the Harvest/Harvest XL so I wasn’t sure which unit it would fit. Let us know what you think of it once you receive it. And let us know if it fits both units or just one of them. |

Hi, swimmom500 . Yeah, their description says "Harvest/Harvest XL" but I don't believe that trellis will work on the XL. Anyway, I bought it to try on a Harvest to hold up wimpy herbs and I think it will work OK for that.
Here's a picture of the AG Harvest XL trellis next to the little (flimsy) trellis...
There is such a difference in the quality and I don't believe the small trellis is worth the $12 price tag, but I'll keep it. You can see that the curve on the right hand side for the light pole seems much too small for an XL and would probably not go around the pole. Two support posts will fit into the two holes on the back of the regular Harvest deck, but the two front posts will just sit on the deck. It definitely won't support any heavy plant.
I'll install it on a Harvest tomorrow and take a picture.

I was going to order it for the Harvest too but their description wasn’t clear what unit these fit. Let me know how you like it. I still have it in my cart! |

It will work best with a regular Harvest, but it's flimsy. It would work OK for herbs and such, just to help corral them under the light. Here it is installed on a Harvest.
There is a little clip piece that goes around the light pole and the front legs just sit on the deck.

I think it's pretty ingenious. The harvest really wasn't designed for a trellis. It looks like it will work and certainly is better than nothing.
Those lanky herbs that fall over all the time have always been a problem.
