Re: My Aero~Garden...
I never even thought of banana seeds! 
Yes, I definitely do think they'd sprout in there JaNan...and pretty darn quickly too! When I saw how fast pepper and other seeds popped in that unit, I knew it was amazing. You'll see. I've had my system for 12 days and just look at the results already! 
I bet banana seeds and many others, come up in no time flat. By keeping the water level low at the start, it ensures a moist and warm atmosphere but not soggy or wet. It's ideal, really.
I am thinking of the many possibilities as well, and apparently cuttings root in this thing like a charm! 
I'd like to try some cuttings at some point. I know the constant air circulation in the water would be amazing in encouraging roots to form. It would be so ideal.
I have a feeling we are both going to get a lot of use out of our systems...and will be back buying a 2nd unit before too long! 
I read on the aero-garden site last night that someone was saying they have a system your size and they found it hard to dump the water every couple of weeks to freshen it and that it was heavy to lift...that's where Greg comes in! 
I guess if the water is freshened every couple weeks when you fertilize, the plants will grow better for it. My basin is due for a changing in 2 days. I've had my system nearly 2 weeks.
Can't wait to find out what you'll grow JaNan. Your system is perfect for strawberries and tomatoes!!!
Hope Marjo & CoolRobby show their systems here too, with the stuff they're growing...
