Frequently Asked Questions
AeroGardens are designed to help you grow your own herbs, vegetables, salad greens or flowers at home. Our Seed Pod Kits are compatible with every model of AeroGarden. Planting with Seed Pods is fun and easy! Just insert the pre-seeded pods in your garden, add water, and the patented, specially formulated Liquid Nutrients. Most plants germinate within 7-14 days, are ready for harvesting in 4-6 weeks, and will keep producing continuous harvests for up to 6 months and longer. Indoor gardening can’t get any tastier or simpler!
Lettuce is one of the fastest-growing indoor crops and it's a staple. Who doesn't love to be healthy with delicious home-grown lettuce, or add a fresh leaf of romaine on their sandwich, or a salad of tasty arugula? And with AeroGarden, you can enjoy delicious Spring greens all throughout fall and winter! As a general rule, never prune more than ⅓ of any plant at once.
Different types of plants take different amounts of time to germinate and grow. In general, we’ve found these germination timeframes to be consistent:
- Flowers take about 7-12 days
- Salads: 5-8 days
- Herbs: 5-15 days
- Fruiting vegetables (such as tomatoes and peppers): 7-14 days
If any of your seed pods don’t germinate after 21 days, contact us so we can send out a replacement for you under our 100% germination guarantee.
After each planting, we recommend cleaning and sanitizing your AeroGarden for the best results.

Not a complete system yet
I decided to try the seed starting system after my attempt with a starting tray failed. Overall it was very successful. I did lose some seedlings early on due to green algae. Unfortunately, neither the grow domes or the plant spacers that are used with the regular grow system fit the seed starting tray. And none are provided or even available from AeroGarden. I quickly realized I had a problem and cut out pieces of foil and paper to cover the unused spaces. Then I used clear plastic food containers as grow domes. This system is not as complete as I would expect it to be so I don’t feel I can recommend it without further improvements.

Best germination system I have ever used!
Worked very well, planted two seeds per pod. They all sprouted and I had to thin. I would suggest for outside gardeners not to plant too early indoors. I made the mistake of planting my tomato pods too soon. They were a little spindly when I transplanted outside, but I trench planted and they were amazing. I like to plant my own seeds because the nurseries do not have the varieties we like for canning. I will continue to use this process as it is better than seed starting in soil. The convenience and success on germination rates were far superior to anything I have used before. I hope this review helps. Mark from Michigan

Nice accessory
I’m using this to start red yuccas from seeds that I found on plants in my yard, and they’re doing great so far. There isn’t a port for filling water, so I just pour water through one of the seedling positions. The roots are free to go through the large openings in the bottom; I haven’t removed the seedlings for hardening off, yet, but I’m sure they will come out okay. It would be nice to have plugs for the positions where germination isn’t happening, so I may make some for this purpose. Water gets distributed to all positions, which is impressive. It would also be nice to have a tray to set the whole thing into for the purpose of taking outside to harden off the seedlings. I like this thing very much!

The Farm XL is the greatest AeroGarden yet!
The Farm XL setup process was very easy. So far I have grown peppers and lettuce with great results. Once it got going, there was so much lettuce I found myself raising the lights to keep from burning the tops because I couldn’t eat it fast enough. Delicious! Speaking of raising the lights .... a simple press of a button ... genius and each side runs independently. Love that! I just started some tomatoes in the grow anything seed pod kit; all have sprouted so I have high hopes. I highly recommend the Farm XL, especially for those veggies you want to grow that are tall.

Great addition to our home garden!
These starter trays are awesome! We've had great success with our seeds and germination rates. The only thing I'd recommend is that you plan to group your seeds based upon germination rate so that you don't have overshadowing of shorter seedlings from their faster growing neighbors.

Template for the Farm 24
I am super excited to start my seeds. I wanted to share this template I created in case it is helpful to anyone else. They don't currently offer one for the Farm 24. I am going to write in each circle what I plant or maybe color code it. Happy planting

Seed starting for garden and indoors
I started so many things in this system, lavender, peppers, tomatoes, summer savory, lovage, cucumbers… the only thing that didn’t grow was thyme and it could have been my ancient seeds.
Make sure you pick up a few 50 packs of grow sponges. I planted most things in containers and my garden, but I have some grow baskets I put some cherry tomatoes and herbs in before I convert my farm back from seed starter to growing for indoor use.

AeroGarden Seed Starter to the Rescue
We're in lockdown. Garden centres are sparsely stocked or closed altogether. With a "Farm" seed starter, I am able to grow all the flower and veggie plants I will need to fill our garden beds. The seeds sprouted in half the time stated on the seed packets with hardly any duds, so I can do successive sproutings before the outdoor growing season begins. The seedlings I've already potted are robust after their great start in the Farm and continue growing well in coldframes until planting time.

Questions
How to sanitize system before next season
To clean your Aerogarden Seed Starting System, place your seed starting system in the top rack of your dishwasher. You can run it through a regular cycle, do not use the heat cycle or the plastic will melt. Once done, reassemble and start your next garden.
