AeroGarden is the world's first indoor smart garden - it's so easy to use that anyone, with or without gardening experience can grow lush, beautiful gardens right in your home! The computerised AeroGarden tells you when to add water and nutrients. The built-in micro-processor automatically adjusts nutrient delivery and water flow and turns grow lights on and off to simulate the sun.

What is Aeroponics?

Aeroponics is a dirt-free growing method where plant roots are suspended in air within a 100% humidity, highly-oxygenated growing chamber. Because the roots are bathed with ideal levels of nutrients, water and oxygen, plants grow significantly faster, are healthier and have a higher nutrient content than plants grown in soil.

How big is the AeroGarden?

The AeroGarden has the footprint of a breadbox and is sized to fit conveniently under most cabinets. The AeroGarden measures 40cm long by 27cm wide by 39cm high when it is first set up with the lights at the lowest possible setting, and 53cm high at the highest level. Currently the AeroGarden comes in only one size.

C. Tending & Harvesting Guide with recipes

Walks you through everything you need to know to grow and harvest your plants, as well as tips and recipes for enjoying your harvests.

How long will my plants live?

Cherry Tomatoes and Chili Peppers will grow for 6 months, and you will be able to start harvesting in about 10 weeks. That gives you approximately 4 months of continuous harvests.

Salad Greens will grow for 3 - 4 months, and you can begin harvesting after only 3 weeks. That gives you about 3 months of continuous harvests.

Gourmet Herbs, International Basil, Cascading Petunias will all grow for 4 months. You can start harvesting your herbs and basil in about 4 weeks, giving you 3 months of continuous harvests.

How much time do I have to spend taking care of my AeroGarden?

Although all of our Seed Kits are very easy to take care of, some require just a bit more interaction than others when it comes to tending and harvesting. See the guide at right to decide which Seed Kit will be best for you:

Seed Kit	Approx Time
Salad Greens	5 minutes a month
International Basil	2 minutes a week
Gourmet Herbs	2 minutes a week
Italian Herbs	2 minutes a week
French Herbs	2 minutes a week
Japanese Herbs	2 minutes a week
Petunias	2 minutes a week
Cherry Tomatoes	5 minutes a week
Chili Peppers	5 minutes a week

How long can the AeroGarden be left unattended? What if I travel a lot?

A planted AeroGarden can be left unattended for up to 2 weeks, depending on the type of plants you are growing and their maturity. Larger, more mature gardens may need water more frequently.

When can I begin harvesting?

It depends on which Seed Kit you have. You can begin harvesting lettuces and basils 3 weeks after planting your garden and then enjoy continuous harvests for months. Other herbs will take about 5 weeks to be ready to begin harvesting. Fruiting plants will take longer to harvest: about 10 - 12 weeks for cherry tomatoes and chili peppers.

Are the nutrient tablets organic?

The AeroGarden nutrient tablets are organic, according to current AAPFCO (American Association of Plant Food Control Officials) standards.

Can I mix Seed Kits?

Yes, although this is primarily recommended only for experienced gardeners. There are three reasons for this:

1. Because the plants grow at different rates and have different leaf sizes, some faster growing plants in mixed kits could over- shadow and block the light from slower growing plants. Experienced gardeners will know how to avoid this issue.
2. Our nutrients have been specially designed for the group of plants in each kit. If kits are mixed the plants could be under or over-fed, resulting in less than optimal growth.
3. Your AeroGarden comes with pre-set light cycles according to kit type. If you mix kits you could be sub-optimising your plant's growth by giving it too much, or too little, light.

How much energy does the AeroGarden use?

The AeroGarden system has been designed for maximum efficiency. The entire system uses less energy than a single 60-watt light bulb.

What kind of light bulbs does it use?

The AeroGarden uses full-spectrum compact fluorescent bulbs exclusively designed for the optimal amount and type of light needed for robust, healthy plant growth.
