We just got a basil plant for our window sill. Those pod thingies look soo cool. Is there a trick to get basil to grow the best? We always seem to kill our potted basil.

Agreed, lots of water. Mine never lived indoors until I bought a couple aeroponic starts and kept them hydroponic. Hill Billy style, lol. I used two old dollar tree damp rid containers for pots. Planted them in soil and kept 1" of water in the containers. With a plastic bag over the top. Occasionally a few days with no water. they are doing so well, I am taking them on a move across country with me!
beautiful :) maybe I need to make a little greenhouse with a bag over mine too.
I am not sure if there is a trick to it. Basil has always grown well for me. I think it knows how much I love it...
It does seem to like alot of water though. In soil I always but basil in a pot with a water reservoir...and now this aerogarden is all water with no soil, just a peat pod to start them. We do use filtered water or rain water for the plants too...no straight tap water.
