This weekend, I plan on moving both sweet pepper gardens to the Bounty table. I want to set up my Farm. I have so much to do. I want some super-hots growin'.

I took down the Ultra's yesterday. The Farm's going up today. The cart has been scrubbed and sanitized. When it is dry, I will break out the Farm.

It looks good mike. How was the is putting it together? That bad? Pretty easy. The only difficulty I had was hanging the light panels, it's a pretty tight fit. My diabetic fingers had me cursing a few times. |

I can see Mike taking out his canning jars,etc in anticipation of some flavor-filled how sauces and recipes. I imagine the yield will be mammoth!

FYI, I just heard back from AG. They aren't expecting Farm Plus' back in stock until July.

Hopefully they are taking their time fixing all the kinks and that is why it will take until then to get them back in stock!

Are you aware of any kinks?

Only those that were reported from the very beginning. These seems to be foxed but sometimes they also take customer responses to making other things easier. I did not mean to worry you if I did.

I'm not worried. It's a good idea, though, to be aware of previous problems.

I think it was serri and drbanks who had problems out of the box. Items weren’t packed correctly, IIRC, requiring replacements (ie. Things didn’t fit together correctly, wrong piece, electrical problem etc). If I’m correct with those being the problems then you’d know by now if you needed to call customer service.

Mike,
I've been watching AeroGarden's website since January (although not every day) and have not ever seen the Farm Plus in stock. Were you on a waiting list to get one? I have a Harvest and a Bounty and ready to take the next step. I emailed AeroGarden today to inquire, but have not heard back.
Thanks!

I think there are quality, fit/finish issues. Don't think they anticipated how much damage shipping can do to an item that large.
My first unit had some broken bits in the top piece, and it wasn't feeding any power out to the controller box. The second unit wouldn't raise/lower the right hand light until I got kind of frustrated and gave it a sharp thwack (it's been working fine since).
The lack of supply is probably them doing a revision A redesign to address all the infant mortality in the first units. Or maybe it should be.

That would make sense if they were doing a revision to correct defects. One can get impatient waiting for something when you are new to this hobby and anxious to expand your gardens. I'm sure the wait will be worth it.
