Tending Your Garden
T
hin Plants
Herbs, lettuces, and plants that grow in bunches
(such as chives) do not require thinning.
However,
with broad-stemmed varieties, such as fruiting plants, it
is best to thin plants as described below.
When plants are about 1” (2.5cm) tall, check each Grow
Pod for multiple plants. Using
scissors, snip the smallest
plants at the stem base, leav-
ing ONE healthy plant in each
Grow Pod.
Thinning seedlings ensures the remaining plant in each
Grow Pod has room to grow, gets enough nutrients and
water, and produces many, many fruits.
Be sure to cut, not pull, the extra seedlings to avoid damaging
roots of the remaining plant in each Grow Pod.

tainer” and “Raise Lamp Hood (Light[s])” sections in your
