AeroGarden is also ideal for people who don’t have a ton of natural light in their home, because the AeroGarden has grow lights attached to it. Most AeroGarden systems are small enough to fit on a countertop or a table. The Farm Family model is the largest model, so it may do better on the floor.

Want to grow a variety of veggies at the same time? Go for a Salsa Garden Kit for a mixture of peppers and tomatoes.

Your AeroGarden system will automatically check the water level in your tank for you. If your system needs more water, the “Water Low” light on the control panel will flash.

Plant Spacers cover up any openings, which will prevent your water from getting dirty.

Cutting away the weaker stem lets the stronger one grow faster and produce more fruit.

While the water level indicator is a helpful tool, it can sometimes malfunction. Be sure you’re actually checking the water level yourself instead of relying on the water level indicator to tell you when your AeroGarden needs more water. [9] X Research source

Try to avoid clipping the first 2 leaves on the tomato plant. Cutting those leaves off could shock your tomato plant and lead to fewer tomatoes.

To pollinate by hand, gently grab one flower at a time and shake it gently for about 30 seconds. Do this to every flower on every plant to pollinate each flower. To pollinate with an electric toothbrush, turn on the toothbrush and gently place the head onto the petals of one flower. Hold it there for about 30 seconds, then move onto the rest of the flowers on every plant. You can also direct a fan at your garden to gently blow pollen out of the flowers.
