How to Start Seeds with your AeroGarden Harvest Lite
If you're looking for a fast convenient alternative to traditional seed starting, then look no further than AeroGarden.
Indoor seed starting is a great way to get a jumpstart on the gardening season, ensure an early harvest, and grow more vegetables throughout the season. But many gardeners find it difficult to provide adequate growing conditions inside their homes. Low light and inconsistent moisture can lead to poor seed germination and weak, leggy plants. AeroGarden seed starting systems solve these problems and others by providing exactly the right amount of light, moisture, and nutrients that seedlings need to grow fast, strong and healthy.
Overview Of The Seed Pod Kits
The AeroGarden Harvest Lite comes equipped with a 6-pod seed system that allows you to grow 6 plants at a time. There are four different seed pod kits available for purchase on Amazon.ca:
Startup requires three steps and takes just a few minutes.
- Move the base growing deck and pump nozzle. Store them away for later use. Insert the seed starting deck into the Harvest Lite, along with the sponges.
- Fill the water reservoir to the fill line along with half the amount of plant food listed on the plant food bottle.
- Let the sponges soak for 24 hours. Use a Grow Anything grow sponge and sow one or two seeds in each. Place them in the seed starting tray.
- Seeds germinate in one to three days.
Why It Works Better Than Traditional Seed Starting
A self contained AeroGarden seed starting system improves seed starting in several ways by providing everything that young plants need from seed to harvest or from seed to transplant. After the initial set up, it needs virtually no attention. Just check weekly for plant maturity. The system provides highly consistent growing conditions for efficient use of space, time, and materials such as seeds, water, and plant food.
