The lighting is computerized, so no need to. Let's look at what the AeroGarden is and what makes it so unique and how you can grown your own culinary herb garden, even if you don't have any gardening experience, you don't have a lot of space or you don't have the time to dedicate to taking care of even one, single houseplant. If would you like to have your own culinary herb garden, but do not have a green thumb, the AeroGarden herb growing system is a state of the art appliance which helps you grow your own herbs all year round right on your kitchen counter. "I don't have a lot of time or space." The AeroGarden is about the size of a coffee maker, so it doesn't require a lot of space. "I don't have any gardening experience." You don't have to have a green thumb or even have any herb gardening experience.

AeroGarden uses a built in, computerized system they refer to as "Adaptive Growth Intelligence" to tell you when to water your plants and when to add nutrients.
