Comments (2)Did you ever get an answer for this question? I'm wondering the same thing. There's an 800 number on aerogarden.com you can call. I might call them tomorrow and see what they say... I'll report back if I get an answer....See MoreFilling an AeroGarden with homemade/generic replacements
Comments (3)Gravel, is a very cheap growing medium. Avoid Miracle Gro. Unless you are an expert. Solo cups with holes. Tomato seeds are a great hydro project and they do fall out of a salad, cucumbers. Low PH is important. I notice when my leaves look dry my PH is high. Chlorine can be eradicated by leaving water out for a few hours. I think hydro gardening is the adventure....See MoreAeroGarden Fertilzer..what to use.
Comments (7)I wrote this for you days ago on another thread you started. I'll post it here since you don't seem to visit your old threads. Cheers! Foridabear, The Aerogarden is a great little device and what you can do with it is only limited by your imagination. A couple of notes. The oasis product (cubes) did not work. They remain too wet in the constant drip system the AG uses and most although not all of the seeds rotted. I next tried organic sponges cut to fit the cup. There are few brands out there such as Rapid Rooters, etc. All seeds have just recently germinated. As far as nutrients are concerned I have General Hydroponics 3-part Flora, the single part (and stinky) Nova and the elegant and simple Floramato. The Floramato is what I am going to replace the AG nutrient with on all my runs. It is a simple 1 part dry powder with the same buffers (to hold the PH in all waters) I imagine the AG tablets have. I have used it on patio and betterboys growing in coco (coir) outdoors and the tomatoes are just scrumptious with very high solids and sugars. It also keeps it simple: 1 tsp. per gallon. As far as seeds, I suspect that the so called Heirloom cherry that AG supplies is not a hybrid meaning the seed can be saved. I am just starting to germinate seed from my first AG garden and will report here if the plants are true to the parent. Replacing the bulbs every 6 months is a bit too conservative for me. Once a year should be more than adequate unless you are growing in total darkness. Time will tell. I will say that the new three flat bulb hood and extended height arm is a worthwhile change and I would urge anyone not yet owning the AG to seriously consider getting the new unit.
