Feeding Your Garden
Fe e d I n g Yo u r ga r d e n
Each Master Gardener Kit comes with two different
types of nutrient tablets to meet the needs of a
variety of plant types.
The amount of nutrients in your
Garden increases with tablet size.
Each tablet also contains ingredients that will keep the
water in your AeroGarden at a pH level that is ideal for
aeroponically grown plants.
C
hoose a Nutrient Regime
Most gardens will need a combination of small and large
nutrient tablets. If you are planting cuttings, you will not
have to add nutrients until you see roots extend from
Grow Sponges. Since we don’t know what’s growing in
your AeroGarden, we can only offer some guidelines for
deciding which tablets to use.
“Small” Nutrient Tablets
These tablets should always be used when first
planting seeds in your Garden – one (1) for 3-Pod
AeroGardens, and two (2) for 6- and 7-Pod models.
Leafy greens (such as lettuces), and woody herbs (such
as oregano and thyme), grow best with “Small” nutrient
tablet(s) at each feeding for their entire life cycle.
For cuttings, start adding “Small” nutrients when you
see roots extend from Grow Sponges – one (1) tablet for
3-Pod, and two (2) for 6- or 7-Pod AeroGarden models.
“Large” Nutrient Tablets
Most plant types other than leafy greens and woody
herbs need the higher amount of nutrients found in a
“Large” nutrient tablet after 4 weeks (the third feeding.)
Mint, basil and parsley are examples of herbs that grow
well with “Large” nutrient tablet(s) at each feeding
for the remainder of their life cycle.
