I know next to nothing about aeroponics - I did read about aquaponics a bit when I started, but hydroponics seemed the most accessible for me.

I've loved making my own crushed red pepper. And there's something fun about growing plants in the middle of a cold snowy winter in the basement.

In practice aeroponics is very fragile. All it takes is a failure for a few hours for roots to irrecoverably dry out and kill the plants. Most hydroponic methods give you a safety margin of days or even weeks.
