AeroGrow Reaches Major Sales Milestone -- 1,000,000 Seed Kits Shipped

BOULDER, CO--(Marketwire - March 3, 2008) - AeroGrow International, Inc. (NASDAQ: AERO) ("AeroGrow" or the "Company"), makers of the AeroGarden® line of indoor gardening products, announced that it has now shipped more than one million seed kits since launching the AeroGarden in March 2006. During that same time, AeroGrow also surpassed 400,000 AeroGardens shipped.

"Every time we ship an AeroGarden, the opportunity is there for lifetime sales of seed kits and accessories," said Michael Bissonnette, Founder and Chairman of AeroGrow. "Our customers are demonstrating this with a passionate, ongoing acceptance of the product line that results in significant reorders. We've found that returning customers have so far spent an average of $150 after their original orders. This highlights the dedication of our user-base, so we're giving intense focus to the creation of new products and accessories that will deepen that level of interest and engagement."

"The recurring revenue portion of the business is substantial in terms of both gross revenue and contribution to the bottom line," said Jerry Perkins, CEO and President of AeroGrow. "Results at retail, in our catalog, and on our website are demonstrating that people are embracing the benefits of growing fresh produce and flowers as an ongoing part of their lives. In fact, in our first year of sales, which just ended last March, recurring revenues accounted for just over 8% of our business. This year, they're approaching 20% of sales. That's an amazing achievement in just two years, and a great measure of the success and acceptance of this new product category."

Seed kits are used in AeroGardens to deliver a Plug & Grow™ foolproof gardening experience. Consumers can choose from more than 20 seed kits including six different Herb kits, six different Salad kits, Cherry Tomatoes, Chili Peppers, Green Beans, Petunias and more. Seed kits, which retail for $19.95, are replaced in the gardens every three to six months and grow lights, also $19.95, are replaced twice a year. A variety of new grow lights and seed kits, including an increased focus on flowers for home and office décor, are in development.
