Wishlist for Aerogardens

Stop thinking in terms of 'power strip' and instead think 'power box'.

I use these -- 6 Ft Surge Protector Power Strip - 8 Widely Outlets with 4 USB Ports, 3 Side Outlet Extender with 6 Feet Extension Cord

You can plug in 4 AGs on top. You can also daisy chain another extension cord into the side, but at that point it starts to look like the Christmas tree lights in A Christmas Story or Christmas Vacation.

I caught them on sale for about half price and bought several. There are several different brands that all look just like this, so you could check them all out to see who is cheapest.

Thanks, Clovis.  I have several types of power strips and boxes and none of them work very well with multiple AGs.  If AeroGarden would just put one of those swivel things on the transformer it would solve a lot of issues.   I've had AGs since 2007 or so and there's not much new that someone hasn't tried.  (Except for scarfguy who reinvents the wheel on a weekly basis.  )   J/K, SG!!!

Check this out -- You can plug 8 Harvests into this bad boy. 



Four on the top and two on each side.

The AG plugs do not have grounding prongs, and the two main prongs are not polarized, so you can turn them either way.

I have not actually put 8 AG in one box, so I do not know how hot it might get, but they will fit.

This set of shelves will eventually have 8 Harvests, but it uses two of these power boxes, so there's outlets to spare if I decide to add a fan or  something.

And with those USB ports, you can charge your cell phone.

OK, I'm adding one to my Amazon cart! I need one for the third table in the basement grow room!

That looks like the ones I have; I recognize that cord.  I like the flat plug on them, too.
