Awesome video, thank you. I’m looking forward to your comparison between the Aerogarden farm and the Family Rise Gardens as I am debating between the two.
Thanks Claudine! I should be filming that one this week (as soon as I’m done editing the Rise Garden cleaning video)
I like the product, but just a year after this video was made, it now costs $749 for the 1-level, $1,049 for the 2-level, and a whopping $1,349 for the 3-level garden. That's WAAY too expensive for me.
I’m excited for the answer on this one because I’m debating it.
Thank you so much for getting into such detail in this video. I've watched others but they didn't get into the detail that you did. This is fantastic, ty!
Hi Pam, I’m glad you found it helpful. I am working on a comparison one between the AeroGarden Farm and the Family Rise garden. Should be posted in the next week or two. If you have any questions let me know.
Thank you, i was about to buy one for my mom! Think i'm gonna watch alot of your video lol you gives good info for beginner and made in canada :)
Awesome! If you have any questions let me know!
just saw your video, very complete, thanks. I have one question: does it smell a lot? like humidity or nutrients?
I wouldn’t say it smells but different people have different sensitivities to smell. Personally my answer would be no. Hope that helps!
Thank you for the amazing video!
You said you were going to try experimenting different nutrients for growing the garden, could you tell us how did that go?
What alternative nutrient brands did you try? Or if you have a separate video on that, that would be great too!
Hi! I am going to be setting up some side by side comparisons using Kelpy, Fox farm and some others. No videos yet but they will be coming. Thank you for your kind words they are appreciated
Just used your coupon to buy my 2nd Family Garden - Thanks so much for sharing :)
Great video, so complete!
Thank you! Hope you found it helpful
Great review, thanks a lot for the tips. good ideas to start with the cons ;P
Thanks! Glad you found it helpful.
You said you'd love to have 3 of these, one of each size. Other than cost, is there a reason you'd choose one at each size rather than 3 large ones?
Have you ever used Gardyn? I am debating between Gardyn and Rise, but am a total newbie. I currently have three Harvest Aerogardens - just getting my feet wet first.
Hi, no I haven’t had a chance to try Gardyn as they don’t currently ship to Canada. Personally I prefer systems where the grow base is flat like in the Rise Garden, AeroGarden or Click & Grow. Of all the systems I have tried so far the Rise Garden is my fave 100%. Hope that helps, if you do end up going with the Rise I have an affiliate link in my description that will save you some money. Hope that helps!
This seems like a nice system, but isn’t this mainly a shelf with lights? There are many videos here on YT that cheaper LED lights that meet plant growing specifications can be pretty cheap. Seems like this could be DIYed for under the price tag here.
This was great! Thank you!
Glad you found it helpful!
Thanks so much for this thorough review! I’m considering getting this setup, but we will have to put it in our bedroom because of our cats. How noisy is the pump? Also is the light schedule fully and easily customizable?
Hi! I don’t find the pump noisy but it does have a hum. Yes the light schedule is customizable from within the app. I have a $50 off coupon in the video description if you are planning to get one of the family gardens 😉
@@The_IndoorGardener thank you!
Excellent video! I'm thinking of buying this soon!
Thanks! I love mine! If you do buy it don’t forget to use my link to save $50!
@The_IndoorGardener I will thank you! 😊 I appreciate all of your tutorials as well. I'm more of a visual and hands-on learner!
@@KathleenEdge Thanks so much! Let me know if you have any other video suggestions!
Thanks a lot for this video, great review. I'm just trying to figure out what kind of hydroponics system this is exactly - nutrient film technique of deep water culture? Also, is there an air pump or air stone in the reservoir to aerate the water (so that the roots don't drown)? Thanks!
I'm having the hardest time choosing between the Rise garden and Gardyn. I live in the desert and have a few small container garden projects going but between the heat and the desperate desert critters I barely get any harvest. I'll be using this inside all year so I want something I can easily rotate crops in and something that produces. The gardyn allows you to plant 30 plants at one time, which is more than the standard two tier but the rise allows more room for fruiting plants and I've heard that plants produce more in the rise ( bigger heads of lettuce, tons of siam tomatoes, etc). I would plan on using the first level for fruiting plants and the top with a bigger tray insert for lettuce and herbs. I have a family of 6 so I would like to work up to the 3 tier. I'm 5'0 so I'm a bit worried about the height.
Are you satisfied with how much your rise produces? How many plants do your normally have going in your rise?
I can’t offer you any insight on the Gardyn as they currently don’t ship to Canada :( But yes I LOVE my Rise and prefer it to my AeroGarden Farm. I like the idea of a flat growing surface over the ones where the plants come out of a central point…but that comes with no experience with them so may change my mind once I get to try one. I think the spacing in the Rise is the best I have seen, most systems it is hard to use all the available spaces and not overcrowd the plants. In the fall/winter/spring I have loads in them during the summer i end up spending all my time in the outdoor garden :) If you’re worried about height you could always grab a little step stool. I am 5’3” and can reach the top of my two tier which would be the bottom of your upper try. Hope that is helpful and if you do decide to get the Rise you can use the link in the description to save $50! If you have any other questions let me know.
I’m down to the same two choices. I live in Phoenix. Did you end up with the Rise or the Gardyn? What are your thoughts based on your purchase?
@Beau Sisson I bought the Rise and I love it. It doesn't feed my family by itself but I do harvest a lot from it, the care is easy and everything grows well.
@@livingthesimplelife2972 Awesome. Thank you for replying. I decided this morning to get the three-level version of the Rise. Your response confirmed that is the correct decision.
I am also trying to decide between the Rise and Gardyn. I have heard the quality of the Gardyn product isn’t as good (the lid will break/stop working) and that it is much harder to clean than the Rise. I am leaning more towards the Rise.
Nice demo and information but what about electricity? Have you ever figured out the yearly cost?
Hi Deborah, No I haven’t but that’s a great idea for a video. I’ll do some digging.
Do you use any kind of fertilizer on your Venus flytraps? If so what kind and amount ….
I’m about to pull the trigger on the Rise 3 tier. I noticed a lot of things are out of stock on their site. Is this common? Do things come back quickly? I hate to buy and then their site never has consumables.
Not that I have seen. I know they did just have a sale so that could be why. If you do end up getting it use my link to save $50!! shareasale.com/r.cfm?b=1660147&u=2236566&m=102448&urllink=&afftrack=0
Awesome, thorough video. I really do love the way they look. But... I really do not need any more systems. 🤣
LOL, there is always room for another system...somewhere :)
@@The_IndoorGardener lol. It seems that way.
Thank you ❤
You're welcome 😊
So what do you do with the RG nutrients when all the plants are at different stages? 🤷♀️
Nice video, I love your hair.
Thank you!!
how would you say this compares to a Lettuce Grow Farmstand?
Hi Maya, I haven’t tried the Lettuce Grow so I can’t say but I have heard it is quite popular. The one thing I can say is that personally I prefer a system with a horizontal Grow desk. But that’s just me. Hope that helps a bit! Happy growing
@@kirimartin4836 I love the look of it too! I live in a NYC apartment so trying to figure out how to fit the best s
system in my space :)
@@mayamacdonald3227 I don’t think it gets prettier or more functional than the Rise Garden! Somehow replied from my other account the first time! I’m sure either one will be great! I am definitely curious about the Lettuce Grow but Rise has my heart so far!
Hello lovely unit. Was wondering a couple of things one is taste and the second is the cost of the seed pods . Can you replace the seed pods ( medium ) for something else or do you have to use theirs. Went to the web site looks quiet expensive.
Hi Rosana,
Yes, the looks was one of the things that drew me to Rise Gardens and they back it up with function too! In terms of taste, it's a pretty subjective thing but personally I much prefer the taste of leafy greens grown hydroponically. Some people say the tomatoes don't taste as good but I also add Cal-Mag to my Aerogarden systems. I haven't tried the cal-Mag with the Rise Gardens as their nutrients are more tailored than the Aerogarden ones. I am planning to do more research on nutrients in general as well as some experiments this winter (so stay tuned for more videos on this in the future). That said NOTHING is going to rival the taste of a tomato picked on a sunny day right from the garden. Currently I have only used the Rise Gardens seed pods in the Rise Gardens. There are loads of 'hacks' on the internet about making your own pods, mostly for Aerogardens as they are more common. I haven't tried any yet, but I am planning to play around with some rockwool and leca pellets this winter. My suggestion would be to get the seedless pods as they are a bit cheaper and then you have the flexibility of growing whatever YOU want! My favourite seed store is Baker Creek Heirloom Seeds. They have a MASSIVE inventory of so many heirloom varieties from all over the world. Plus they fact that they are heirloom means you can save the seeds from them and won't need to buy them again. I have some seed saving videos on the channel.
I really hope this helps, if you have any other questions please let me know.
Happy growing!
Kir
@@The_IndoorGardener thank you so much for your input
Can you get in the UK
I just wanted to let you know that I'm trying to purchase a Rise Garden using you coupon code and it won't let me. Maybe they made it invalid?!
Oh no! Someone used it the other day… you used OLSF50. I’m trying to see what’s going on and will let you know (if you want to hold off for a day or so). Up to you but thank you for the heads up.
@@The_IndoorGardener Wow, thank you for replying SO FAST! I even clicked the link (in Canada as well). Trying to purchase the double family garden and the message I get is that "discount code isn’t valid for the items in your cart". I'll wait for now then! Thank you!!
@@CherylStLouis-cz1dt I’m wondering if the link is only working on the US site? I will keep you posted and thank you so much for watching my videos and letting me know about this issue.
Hey @Cheryl St. Louis! The coupon code (OLSF50) is working now so you should be good to save the $50!! Woo Hoo
@@The_IndoorGardener Thank you so much! All ordered!
Amazing👌👌👌💚
Thanks!
My unit didn't come with a sensor?
I got mine a long time ago so things may have changed. You can always grab one on Amazon.
Ha! Rotisserie box. BTW their support is really bad. That should be a con.
