Explanatory Note

This Amendment No. 6 amends the information provided in prior Schedule 13Ds (the “Prior Schedule 13Ds”) filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission by Lazarus Partners, Lazarus Management and Justin B. Borus (collectively, the “Reporting Persons”) on July 23, 2009, February 16, 2010, June 15, 2010, July 19, 2010,  November 9, 2010 and February 1, 2011.  This Amendment No. 6 is being filed in order to reflect a decrease in the Reporting Persons’ beneficial ownership resulting from the payment in full of a convertible note that prior to payment was convertible into the Issuer’s common stock. As a result, this Amendment No. 6 amends the information disclosed in Items 3, 4, 5, 6 and 7.  This Amendment No. 6 amends and restates the Prior Schedule 13Ds filed by the Reporting Persons.

Item 1.  Security and Issuer.

(a)  This statement on Schedule 13D relates to the common stock of AeroGrow International, Inc., a Nevada corporation (the “Issuer”).

(b)  The principal executive offices of the Issuer are located at 6075 Longbow Drive, Suite 200, Boulder, Colorado, 80301.

Item 2.  Identity and Background.

(a)-(c) and (f)  This statement is being filed by Lazarus Investment Partners LLLP, a Delaware limited liability limited partnership (“Lazarus Partners”).

Lazarus Management Company LLC, a Colorado limited liability company (“Lazarus Management”), is the investment adviser and general partner of Lazarus Partners, and consequently may be deemed to have voting control and investment discretion over securities owned by Lazarus Partners. Justin B. Borus (“Mr. Borus”) is the managing member of Lazarus Management. As a result, Mr. Borus may be deemed to be the beneficial owner of any shares deemed to be beneficially owned by Lazarus Management. The foregoing should not be construed in and of itself as an admission by Lazarus Management or Mr. Borus as to beneficial ownership of the shares owned by Lazarus Partners.  Each of Lazarus Management and Mr. Borus disclaims beneficial ownership of the securities set forth in this Schedule 13D, except to the extent of its or his pecuniary interests therein.

The business address for the Reporting Persons is c/o Lazarus Management Company LLC, 3200 Cherry Creek South Drive, Suite 670, Denver, Colorado 80209. Mr. Borus is a United States citizen. 

The principal business of Lazarus Partners is investing in securities.  The principal business of Lazarus Management is providing investment advice.  The principal business of Mr. Borus is investment management.

(d)  During the last five years, none of the Reporting Persons have been convicted in a criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations or similar misdemeanors).

(e)  During the last five years, none of the Reporting Persons have been a party to a civil proceeding of a judicial or administrative body of competent jurisdiction and as a result of such proceeding were or are subject to a judgment, decree or final order enjoining future violations of, or prohibiting or mandating activities subject to, Federal or state securities laws or finding any violation with respect to such laws.

Item 3.  Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration.

On June 30, 2009, the Reporting Persons used a combination of sources to purchase shares of the Issuer’s Series A Preferred Stock (the “Series A Stock”) and a warrant to purchase shares of Series A Stock (the “Series A Warrant”).  The Reporting Persons exchanged securities of the Issuer held by the Reporting
 
 
Page 5 of 12

 
 
Persons that were valued by the Issuer at approximately $497,000 and made a cash payment out of personal funds in the amount of $650,000 for a total of 1,147 shares of Series A Stock and a Series A Warrant for 574 shares of Series A Stock.  In connection with this transaction and on the same date, the Reporting Persons distributed a portion of the Series A Stock and Series A Warrant then held to a former limited partner effective as of June 30, 2009.  As a result, as of June 30, 2009, the Reporting Persons hold 860 shares of Series A Stock and a Series A Warrant to purchase 428 shares of Series A Stock.

On September 1, 2009, Lazarus Partners entered into a Bridge Loan with the Issuer.  In consideration for the loan, Lazarus Partners was issued a five(5) year warrant to purchase 250,000 shares of common stock (“September Common Stock Warrant”) at an exercise price of $0.25 per share.

On November 9, 2009, Lazarus Partners entered into a Bridge Loan with the Issuer.  In consideration for the loan, Lazarus Partners was issued a five (5) year warrant to purchase 200,000 shares of common stock (“November Common Stock Warrant”) at an exercise price of $0.25 per share.

On May 6, 2010, the Reporting Persons converted principal and interest due of $482,452.05 on a Bridge Loan into: (i) a $482,452.05 note (the “2010 Note”) that is initially convertible into 4,824,521 shares of the Issuer’s common stock; and (ii) warrants to purchase 4,824,521 additional shares of the Issuer’s common stock (the “2010 Warrants”).  The 2010 Note bears interest at 8% per year, payable quarterly in cash, additional Notes, or in registered common stock of the Issuer, at the option of the Issuer, and matures on May 6, 2013.  The 2010 Note can be converted into shares of the Issuer’s common stock at any time, initially at a conversion price of $0.10 per share. The 2010 Note will automatically convert into shares of the Issuer’s common stock in the event (i) there is an effective registration statement registering the resale under the Securities Act of 1933 of the underlying stock (“Conversion Shares”) or the Conversion Shares are eligible to be resold without restriction or limitation under Rule 144 under the Securities Act, and (ii) the closing bid price of the Issuer’s common stock as quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board or other principal trading market is at least $0.25 per share for 20 out of 30 consecutive trading days with an average daily trading volume of at least one million shares.  The 2010 Note is secured by a subordinated lien on all assets of the Issuer.  The 2010 Warrants entitle the Reporting Persons to purchase one share of the Issuer’s common stock at a price of $0.20 per share, and contain customary anti-dilution rights (for stock splits, stock dividends and sales of substantially all the Issuer’s assets) and piggyback registration rights.  The 2010 Warrants expire May 6, 2015.

On June 24, 2010, the Reporting Persons purchased $500,000 in Units consisting of:  (i) an additional $500,000 in 2010 Notes that is initially convertible into 5,000,000 shares of the Issuer’s common stock; and (ii) additional 2010 Warrants to purchase 5,000,000 additional shares of the Issuer’s common stock.   The terms of the 2010 Notes and 2010 Warrants purchased on June 24, 2010 are the same as described above.

On November 3, 2010, the Issuer issued the Reporting Persons an additional $32,959 in 2010 Notes (“2010 Interest Notes”) that is initially convertible into 329,592 shares of the Issuer’s common stock as an interest payment on the 2010 Notes purchased in May and June.

On November 5, 2010, the Reporting Persons purchased a $200,000 convertible promissory note (the “November Note”) and warrants to purchase 666,667 shares of the Issuer’s common stock (the “November Warrants”).  The November Note bears interest at 15% per year and matures on July 28, 2011.  The November Note could initially be converted into shares of the Issuer’s common stock at a conversion price of $0.18 per share, but was paid in full on October 3, 2011 and is therefore no longer convertible.  The November Warrants are exercisable at a price of $0.20 per share and expire on October 28, 2015.

On February 1, 2011, the Issuer issued the Reporting Persons a $20,475.14 Note (“2011 Interest Note”) as an interest payment on the 2010 Notes purchased in May and June.  The 2011 Interest Note bears interest at 8% per year and is initially convertible into 204,751 shares of the Issuer’s common stock.

The Reporting Persons also hold previously purchased shares of the Issuer’s common stock that were acquired by personal funds.

Item 4.  Purpose of Transaction.

(a)-(i) The purpose of the June 30, 2009 transaction was to acquire the Series A Stock and Series A Warrant.  Each Series A Warrant has a term of five (5) years with an exercise price of $1,250 per share.  The Reporting Persons may exercise the Series A Warrant at any time.  At the election of the Reporting Persons, each share of Series A Stock is convertible into 5,000 shares of the Issuer’s common stock, subject to customary anti-dilution adjustments.  The holders of the Series A Stock, in aggregate, are entitled to appoint three (3) directors to the board of directors of the Issuer.  In connection with the transactions, the Issuer amended its bylaws to render the Nevada control share statute inapplicable to the Issuer.  The holders of Series A Stock are entitled to vote alongside the holders of the Issuer’s common stock on an as-converted-to common stock basis.  The holders of the Series A Stock are entitled to receive preferential dividends in the amount of 8% per annum when and if declared by the board of directors of the Issuer.  The holders of the Series A Stock, in aggregate and voting as a separate class, are entitled to vote on certain corporate transactions of the Issuer including, without limitation, any amendments to the Issuer’s bylaws or articles of incorporation and the creation of any equity securities senior to the Series A Stock.  The description of the terms of the Series A Stock are qualified in their entirety by reference to the Issuer’s Certificate of Designations filed with the Nevada Secretary of State on June 29, 2009 (which is included as Exhibit B to this Schedule 13D and is incorporated by reference into this Item 4).  The description of the terms of the Series A Warrant are qualified in their entirety by reference to the Issuer’s Form of Series A Preferred Stock Warrant (which is included as Exhibit C to this Schedule 13D and is incorporated by reference into this Item 4).
