BRILLIANT! Thanks...how about a video on how to transplant from an Aero to outdoors?
I'm going to try cloning one of my tomato hydroponic plants by cutting it and then putting the cutting in water waiting for it to root again
Watched a bunch of videos before buying our Aerogarden in December, and really enjoyed this one, as I was mostly hoping to just plant our own seeds. Great content, and 2 months later, our lettuce garden is going strong! The spinach was a little tricky to get started, but using paper towel to geminate the seeds was the trick, and they are great too. Great video!
A fine tip sharpie should be waterproof enough for labeling the little stickers.
Another completely different way to label your plants is to label them in a notebook. Something like a map with the plants labeled in their respective spots.
Nothing small to deal with and much easier in a batch type of planting.
Thank you for this video! I was looking everywhere for a guide on how to use the Grow Anything pods and couldn’t find anything as clear and concise as this. Great video, very helpful!
So happy to hear it ❤️
thanks , you are very good at showing us how to do this.
Agree with everything below! Thank you so much for putting this together -- helps me so much!
glad to hear it!!
Just the video I wanted, good job, thanks.
Super helpful! Thanks again for the pro tip on keeping herbs fresh in the fridge
Good explanation! Thanks
This is so cool. I'm glad I found your channel
Thx for watching!
Super helpful video. Thank you!
Love Bakers Creek seeds! Thank you🌿
Awesome! Thank you! I bought a lot of everything, too and suddenly realized this is a "hobby" and a serious method to consider. All the ad pics show one garden full of everything. Very deceptive. Realized need 2 or more units $$$$. Enlightening and great presentation
Yeah, for the farms you usually want to grow larger plants and then they need more than 1 space unfortunately!
Thank you for this video‼️
Thank you so much for this video. You are so clear and concise. I received my aero garden as a gift and am ready to plant my own seeds now. You have done a great job showing me how it is done. I look forward to more of your videos.
glad to hear it! ❤️
Excellent video. Thank you so much
Thank you for a great informative video,I think yours is one of the best 🎉I've watched 👍❤
Nothing like details thank you was wondering about multiple seeds for peppers Toms. Thank you
Great advice. I've had 2 aerogardens I received as gifts but haven't started them yet. You've inspired me to start planting. BTW, your voice is very soothing.
Ooh great gifts! So happy to hear it, definitely give it a go. Basil is always a great one to start with if you like fresh herbs, i make heaps of pesto ☺️😉
AWESOME JOB! The best video I've seen of all the ones. You were exceptionally helpful and detailed. I cannot stand reading manuals, so I always just guess and use my instincts to put things together and all of that. So thank you so much!
Im the same way haha 😆 somehow watching a video is less painful than reading a paper manual
A twin lol
Thank you so much! You made it so easy! The instructions included in the grow anything sponges were horrible and this video was a huge life saver! 😊
Glad to hear it helped!
Very informative.
So helpful. Now I have the confidence to do this. I have the pods . . . I just need to buy some seeds. You rock!
You can do it 💪🏻
Love these videos , I was hoping you can go more into detail about the liquid plant food.
sure! Anything specifically?
Very easy. Straight forward. This will be my first time using my own seeds. I will let you know how your instructions helped.😁
Good luck!
Nespresso pods!!! Genius.
🤓
Thank you! We got an Aero Garden and it's still in the box because...I needed to see this video 😉 Thank you, very helpful 👍🏻
😉 whoo time to unbox :)
Update - Finally got it all set up and we have lettuce sprouting! So excited!
Would love to see an update video on how this grow went (is going)
Sure, I can do an update video!
Thank you so much. Can you help me make a decision before leaving the store. I am super excited. Happy growing.
Great video, provide good, sound information on reusing the dops. question - where did your seeds ? Thank you..
You can use seeds from anywhere! I got mine from a mix of etsy + bakers creek
On etsy, you can search plant. Anything dwarf sized, herbs and lettuces should fit well:

Great video thanks for posting. I was wondering how many seeds per pod good side by side comparison.
Glad it was helpful! the # of seeds to plant definitely varies by plant, next time i’d add a lot more for my chive and thyme pods
thanks
Nice video , thank you. Can I put the pods in a small jar to germinate and then transfer them to the aerogarden? Just to save a couple of weeks and still be able to use the older plants before I replace them.
Sure
Thanks so much for your instruction and tips!
How long have you been growing in tbe aerogarden
Happy it helped! Hm about 3 years now
Thanks. I wondered how they would hold up.
Is there non-plastic option way for reusing the pod-holders? I don't remember if the sponge where foam?
Thank you for making this! Question: do you just drop the seed into the sponge or do you push it into the soil a bit? It looks like you just dropped it in but I wanted to be sure. Thanks again!
I just dropped them in! More important is to wet the sponge beforehand (might have forgotten to show this in the video?)
Will there be an update on how the plants did? I'm interested how the pepper and tomato plant does in the system!
Sure, I can do an update video
Tomato and pepper starts do great in the AeroGarden. The problem you will eventually have is that indeterminate tomatoes and most peppers produce best as fairly mature plants, which can be huge. If you really want to grow in the AeroGarden, you are probably best selecting for "determinate" non vining, or "bush" type tomatoes. Select plants that are dwarf, or small at maturity (you can read this information on most seed packets). Indeterminate tomatoes will set fruit all at once, and you'll have to rotate plants to ensure you have regular fruit, but they are you best bet. For peppers and indeterminate tomatoes, even people who build larger systems have to create space specifically designed for the much larger plants. Also, fruiting plants (tomatoes and peppers) like different nutrients than green leafy plants, so to get the best results you can, you almost need a completely different system.
@@LoraxChannel what do you suggest because I would like to grow tomatoes, peppers, and scallions.
what can you grow besides the things they send you? can I propagate Coast Redwood Cuttings? with it? I just want them to develop some roots so I can plant them in a pot then after a year plant them outside
Im not familiar with coast redwood cuttings.. that sounds like a tree? Haha
But if you just want to start a plant + develop roots then yes you can do that!
Thank you for your help I always thought you can't grow what you want where can I get that catalog for buying seeds from
the catalogue's from bakers creek! but you can get seeds anywhere - i have a video on the best plants for aerogardens with more info
I think I`m gonna cut large holes in my gardens like these so I can use larger baskets with the clay balls. I tried to grow radishes and they grew inside the pod basket ruining them. There has to be a better way. I was able to find two gardens by Mr Sun that use large baskets and prefer them 100%.
Unfortunately, root vegetables don't grow well in most hydroponic systems. There are ways to do it, but those methods don't grow the many other plants you want very well.
I just buy most root vegetables, because they are inexpensive. I do use my traditional garden for some as well, now that I've freed up the space I used to use for green and herbs (which I currently grow in an NFT system).
When do you start adding nutrients and food and how often?
Awesome and very helpful video. It would be great if you could share how often you needa add plant food.
Sure, will do!
I got 50 of each of the sponges the pods in the plastic thing on top for $15 each on Amazon
Nice!
Can the labels be resused when reusing the plastic cage pod thingy or do they have to ripped off to avoid cross contamination
Also, when planting both tomato and peppers which option is selected since they seem to be individually set on the system. I just planted both and opted for tomato settings but I'm curious as to what the difference is
It depends. If the labels look ok, you can try to reuse. I had some seeds that didnt germinate and reused the labels, but it did eventually get confusing because i didn’t re-write over the label lol
Generally if you’ve grown full size plants, the labels get a bit dirty so i wouldn’t reuse
An inexpensive option is to cover the domes with foil and poke a hole through!
The difference is in the light timer. The tomato setting will have the lights on for 16 hours, the pepper setting for 15 hours i believe. So if you’re planting both picking the tomato setting is good!
I want to grow steawberries…do i really need the strawberry root…and do i need to treat the water?
Havent tried myself but heard 🍓 roots are easier
EXCELLENT VIDEO . WHAT MODEL AG IS THAT? IT'S BEAUTIFUL .
Farm, linked in the description!
@@SherSheGoes THANK YOU ,
Use fresh gauze instead of roxul. Cheaper and design to wick liquid.
Hm what kind of gauze? I only know of the bandage fabric kind which I didn’t think would work?
@@SherSheGoes the non stick, cotton thread type. It's usually in a role. As long as it's porous, clean and can wick fluid, it will work to grow you seeds. Mileage may vary but you can save a ton on grow media this way. I also 3d prin clipping baskets that skips the grow media all together.
So interesting! Thx for the tip
How long did it take your seeds to Germinate?? I planted mines two weeks ago and I haven’t had any growth!
Depends what you’re growing!
I had a used one I bought and a lot of the ones it came with won't sprout. Can I reuse those and just put seeds in it to grow?
Yes
I want to move my herbs from the aerogarden into a new jar of water as in, I don't want to transplant them to soil. Is that possible to keep them in water with another grow light so I can free up space in my Aerogarden?
Yes you can do that! Just cover the opening so the light doesn’t cause algae to grow
@@SherSheGoes thank you so much!
@@SherSheGoes silly question but should I still take it out of the plastic holder before putting it in a new jar?
You can keep it in or remove! Depends on the jar you’re transporting too and how entangled the plant is with the plastic pod. Doesn’t really matter!
Did I miss the placing the fertilizer solution in the water?
No, i typically add it ~1-2 wks after the seeds germinate!
I noticed that you labeled each of your plants before they germinated. So I'm guessing because of the hole, the plant is still going to grow through it and search for the light?
Yes
What brand of seed might you recommend?
Any brand of seed should work, as long as the plant itself will be short + compact enough for the height of your Aerogarden model
@@SherSheGoes Thank you!
How many seeds do you put in pods?
Depends on the plant but usually 1-3
what aerogarden model is that
This one! amzn.to/3u9QLSY
Strawberries grow great in an AG but with a lot of trial and error
To start seeds, there are simply better/cheaper options than using an AeroGarden. If you already own one, then this might make sense, but then you are using your unit for starts, and not fully mature plants. I think the AeroGarden is a great product if you are going to grow in their unit, which is where it shines.
It's super expensive if you plan to transplant to soil, or a different hydroponic system. For example, you can just use rockwool and a tray and transplant to soil after the first true leaves appear, or switch seedlings to mason jar kratky system for extra growth in you feel you need it. The cost of doing this is pennies, compared to all the brand specific stuff you need to buy from AeroGarden to accomplish the same thing.
There are definitely cheaper options, but better is subjective. A lot of people, myself included, start w aerogardens because theyre aesthetically pleasing and practically foolproof… and we have limited indoor space
Everyone gangster until the expresso starts growing
🤔
Use a garden pen.❤️
Oooh intriguing
so how are you going to pollinate the flowers without a bee? You know tomatoes don't fruit without an insect to pollinate the flowers right?
You can pollinate them without bees. Just shake the flowers by hand, use an electric toothbrush or run a fan. I have a ton of cherry tomatoes at this point 😉
Tomato self pollinate
Looks like bok choy lol
Ha yeah it’s tatsoi, kind of similar!
This video wastes TONS of time on blabber not directly informative to the question at hand. At the five minute mark I have seen about thirty seconds of useful knowledge.
