Work well but I feel like it is expensive, especially since directions have you use 2 tablets instead of 1.

All you need is a hydroponic nutrient solution from, for example, General Hydroponics. It, like other systems, have two or three components, that contain micro-nutrients your plants need all the time and growth phase specific nutrients. For herbs like basil or chives and other non-flowering plants all you need is the growth formula. If you grow vegies and other plants that will bloom or flower, you switch to the other nutrient solution when they start to develop. For ~$35 kit(s/h included), you can get a pint of each solution. You use up 1-3 tsp/gal from each solution. 96 tsp = 1 gallon, which is a little over the capacity of the classic aerogarden. That’s about 32 feedings per $25. Each feeding will last about 2 weeks, more or less, depending on the size of your plants. You will have to get a Total Dissolved Solids (TDS) meter to monitor the nutrient concentration or just wing it. 16 months for $35 versus the 6 months for the equivalent price.
