Ok, because I'm feeling trapped in Narnia (under the reign of the white witch, where it's always winter and never Christmas), I decided to break down and buy myself one. But Canadian Tire no longer carries them, nor does any other place in town that used to sell them. What gives???

Carey,

I would swear that Aerogarden broke up in 1991 when the lead singer committed suicide. Or am I thinking of a different band? ;-)

Fuzzy,

With some googling, it seems that this may have become the hydroponic home-grow kit of choice for BC bud. Forums appear to be devoted to it. Might have been the gateway drug to your band's demise....

And all I wanted it for was some fresh basil. Or even just anything green. I am still buried under snow. Maybe I just need some of that BC bud of my very own....

Plenty of aerogardens for sale on Amazon...

Edit: Also available via www.Amazon.ca but only through secondary sellers. Must be a Canada thing.

Carey, not on canadiantire.ca either but I'll check our store today when I pop in for something else (lagostina cast iron is 70% off btw) and will report back.

I can't tell if you can get it in Canada, but we have a first generation one and it works like a charm.

Old topic, but I wanted to reply in case anyone else is interested.

Aerogarden basically ships from their own website now, and through Amazon.
If you are living in the US, that is your primary sources for Aerogarden products.
If you are living in Canada, you can order directly from Aerogarden's website, but it will be a tad expensive because of shipping.

Canadian Tire basically discontinued carrying the Aerogarden in 2012, despite their website still indicating they do.
I've looked around and had some difficulty looking for kits and Aerogarden's for Canadian AG enthusiasts.
Around Ottawa, Eco-source stopped carrying the products, and so did a couple of hydroponic stores that I know.

Amazon.ca has a limited selection for Canadians as well. Shipping is where it will bite you a bit.
Used Aerogarden's can always be found on kijiji.ca

Two boards you may find useful:
http://www.aerogardentalk.com (formally http://www.aerogardengrowers.com, still online but not accepting new members or posts)
http://www.aerogardenmastery.com

If you re-use your pods, and just need a refill kit (new sponges and nutrients), I'd recommend the following site.
http://indoorsalad.com/ Have a look at the 'Splasher' kit. You can use these items in your Aerogarden with your existing pods.

Bulbs is another tough one. Best idea would be to go on Ebay and search for 'Aerogarden bulb'. A seller named kidsdeco is always selling adapters so you can use regular CFLs.

Personally, I am a regular at Aerogardentalk. While I am not that great at cooking, I love fresh ingredients and gardening in general.
Stop by if you have any questions, comments or if you need any help.

HWJ,

Welcome to the Board, however temporarily. Thanks for persisting enough to get through.

Thanks to one-touch ordering I managed to place two redundant orders for an Aerogarden this morning, and just as easily canceled both rather than just one. Then I placed an order the normal way (without one-touch). Hopefully we'll receive exactly one.
