great video! I had no idea this accessory was available for the Harvest model, thank you!! instead of the included sponges, I'm using a small piece of loofah with a cotton ball on top to hold the seed. the roots weave their way through the loofah easily

The instructions with my seed starting system say to use half the amount of food as you usually use. This worked for me with a variety of vegetables last year. I didn't measure exactly, but my germination rate was close to 100%.

That you for showing the seed starting tray. I have a tough time starting hot peppers on the south end of Florida and this should make a big difference.

Your video was very helpful. Aerogarden lacks detailed instructions. I wasn't clear about the removal of the pump nozzle until I saw your video. Did you plug in the pump cord in the back of your Harvest Aerogarden? The instructions state to remove the pump nozzle, but nothing about the cord or why you need to remove the nozzle. I started lots of seedlings in the Harvest Aerogarden using the original 6 hole deck and the pump fully operating with excellent results. I bought the seed starting system to grow more seedlings at one time.

I constantly use my aerogarden to start seedling every year. I get a 90-100% germination rate. I sanitize my sponges with boiling water and wait until the water cool before inserting the seed into the pods. I use gloves after the boiling step to avoid bacteria growth. Then I use a thick black plastic sheet (trash bag cut to size) to cover all pods for the first 5 days to prevent algae growth. If I'm starting my seeds in cold weather I place a towel over the entire thing for 5 days as well to keep the heat in (I leave a crack to make sure it doesn't overheat).

I'm guessing someone already made this suggestion but I'm too lazy to figure that out! So I learned from Little Tech Girl that communion cups are the *perfect* size to go on the AeroGarden seed starting system.

Have you tried to start cucumber seeds in the aero garden? I was thinking of doing some in mine, but not sure how they would do. Also not sure when I would need to start them if I did.

I am starting to use my aero garden for tomatoes. How long do you have the light on per day?

[TheHootsNest]

Thank you for the detailed, visual process because the little instructions in the seed starting kit are not sufficient.

Tip - instead of tweezers placing seeds into the peat pots— get a wooden skewer and wet the pointed end then the seeds will stick to the tip and you can place them in no problem!

I have used my seed tray to jumpstart several Aerogardens, but not for the outdoor garden. Seems a waste to put the sponges in the ground, guess that's one way Aerogarden makes it money. It isn't really necessary to give food until the seeds start sprouting. I haven't had a problem without the humidity domes, but it is nice to have the option and Aerogarden should really have come up with a dome for each half or something. I suspect it is because each seed comes up at different times and grows at different rates.

Again, very methodical, and thank you for showing the actual results. Maybe I will try the indoor seed tray under grow lights instead of the $$$ Aerogarden for my step #2.
I do the cheap moist paper towel (actually toilet paper bc some paper towels have fibers which don't break apart easily) in baggie trick to germinate most of my seeds. Trick for me is to get the sprouted seeds into starter trays as soon as the root shows. But that has saved me going through starter tray set up on seeds that are not willing to sprout.

Im having a problem with my aerogarden Ive grow lots of things in the aerogarden before but I'm not getting the water movement when the light goes on i tried everything but still no go any ideas? thank you

I started carrots in my Aerogarden and 23 out of 23 germinated.

Another YouTuber used dollar store plastic shot cups to cover the seeds. That might work for you.

dont put the nutrient straight away. wait until the seed start to grow before adding it.
