@hchavers I was curious, so I did some research. This one is way too small to grow marijuana. The larger (and much more expensive) aerogardens are apparently good for beginner growers.
@Kidsandliz if you have the correct balance of fish and plants, you won’t need a filter or to add plant fertilizer.
I saw a presentation by some urban gardeners that had an immense setup with hundreds of feet of horizontal PVC pipe and an aquarium. They had drilled a hole every foot along the pipes. They put a seed into a holder in each of those hundred holes. The water was pumped from the aquarium up to the start of the pipes. The water flowed along the bottom of the pipes over the roots of each plant. After the last plant it went back to the fish tank.
To keep it in balance, they had a pound of fish for some 3 digit number of pounds of plants.
With this size planter, it would probably support a single fish less than a inch long. You need food for the fish and light for the plants.
@hamjudo I don’t know much about keeping fish. We had goldfish for about 3 or 4 weeks as my kid was insisting she wanted fish. Insisted for weeks so I finally caved when it appeared not to be a passing fancy. Goldfish are incredibly social, interacted with us (which was pretty interesting) and the cats (they were also cat TV) and as I found out need about 5 gallons for each one which we did not start out with and can live 20 years which is, no doubt, why they are so smart. It turns out fish are more work than cats. Fortunately my kid decided she didn’t want fish ofter all and so we gave them away to another family.

If it comes with the seeds in the last photo I’ll take 2.
Some states have different herbs to grow than others.
@hchavers Well they all have them it’s just whether they arrest you or not.

@sammydog01 I was thinking more of herbs like Basil that must have a Florida Tropical or Thyme that loves the southern California sun.
@hchavers And look where my mind went. I’ve been hanging out at Meh too long.
Insert Herbie the Love Bug joke here.
Maybe this could double as a fish tank too? Or home for frogs and turtles?

@hamjudo @Kidsandliz Maybe a beta fish?

@hamjudo @Kidsandliz was the other family at the other end of a toilet flush? I gave mine to the same family…
@bpsmyth @hamjudo No clue. We didn’t have a contract with social services to follow up with the adoption.
@bpsmyth @hamjudo I’m a big slow on the uptake… Nope didn’t flush them. Put them on craigslist and a family with two young kids were thrilled.
Now the neighborhood kids can grow their weed from the comfort of their own home
Betta fish need a minimum of 2.5 gallons. I don’t think this would cut it.
