Designing Your Garden
P
lant Height
(Continued)
If you decide to grow a
garden with a variety of
different plants, you will also
need to consider their relative
heights. Try to grow plants that
will be about the same height
as they mature. You may be
able to prune some plants in
your Garden to achieve this.
Using plants that grow at the
same rate lets you adjust the
Lamp Hood so plants all receive
the optimal amount of light.
Plant a garden with plants
that have similar growth
rates and heights, like Salad
Greens (shown).
N
utrients
Choose plants that have similar nutrient requirements.
For example, mixing plants with fairly low requirements
(such as lettuces) with plants that have much higher
requirements (such as basil) is not recommended. There
are two (2) different types of nutrients to choose from in
a Master Gardener Kit, and more specific nutrient guide-
lines are provided in the “Feeding Your Garden” section
of this Guide.
L
ife Span
Try to choose plants that have similar life spans for your
Garden. For example, dwarf tomatoes and basil are a
great flavor combination, but would be hard to grow in
the same AeroGarden. Basil will be nearing the end of
its growth cycle just as dwarf tomatoes are starting to
ripen!
