Hello, I am a newby with a recently purchased Harvest Slim and the Heirloom Salad Greens which are doing wonderfully and I hope to harvest this weekend. Yippie! I was so excited about my beginner's luck that I purchased the Bounty Elite on sale from Sur La Table (thanks to the posting on this website, you bunch of enablers! ) I have been reading about the Grow Bowl insert for the Bounty and that you can grow strawberries in it. My question is why do you need the grow bowl for strawberry plants? Can't I grow them from seed in a regular pod or from bareroot in just use the pod basket? Can't strawberries grow in the aerogarden without the insert and additional medium? Also, from what I can understand about the bowl is that it is similar to a semi-hydroponic environment. Is that correct?

I have no clue about the Grow Bowl. I do not own one. My brother does and he grew the strawberries but did not have a great yield and gave it up. I know others here have as well.
There are articles that explain how to grow strawberries in a hydro but from what I have read they all use some type of medium. I do not think they would do well directly in water .
Wonderful news on the Harvest Slim and your greens. It amazed me how fresh and delicious home grown lettuce was. Congrats on the Bounty Purchase! I may bit the bullet but just can't pull that trigger yet. Of course it will be gone when I do LOL
