We had three Aero Gardens at our old place. We still have one but have not set it up since we moved. I always loved having one in the kitchen. It was a great place to read while having morning coffee. It was on a small table we called the cat table - bought so we could put the cat food and water up where the dog wouldn't get it. By the time we had the Aero Garden, the cat didn't need the food kept away because the current dog slept outside in his Kennel. We are a ways away from starting seeds in Wisconsin (-16 two nights ago, -9 last night), but we do start seed in the house and we also set up deck rail containers for leaf lettuce, carrots, and some peppers. Our main garden is all raised beds. Can't wait for the planting season to start. Thanks for the early inspirational article.

Yes they fit on the 2X4 top rails on the deck. They are plastic oblong containers about 2 feet long and about 14 inches wide. Bought at our local ACE Hardware. On Amazon: the Emsco Group Bloomers Railing Planter with Drainage Holes – 24" Weatherproof Resin Planter – Terracotta
