Prepare for Your Next Garden Starter Tray

Clean AeroGarden:

For step-by-step cleaning instructions, please refer to the “Prepare for your Next Garden” section in your model’s Quick Start Guide.

Clean Tray before reusing:

•Rinse Seed Starter Tray in water to remove plant or Grow Sponge debris. A small scrub brush or old toothbrush is helpful for this task.

Sanitize Seed Starter Tray:

•Fill a sink or 5 gallon bucket with water.

•Add ¼ cup (.06 liter) chlorine bleach per 5 gallons

(3.78 liters) of water.

•Dip Tray into solution for 2 minutes giving it an oc- casional swish or scrub. (If entire Tray does not fit into bucket/sink, turn it around to ensure that you sanitize all parts of it.)

•Rinse Tray under cold running water for about 2 minutes.

Place Grow Sponges in Tray (Do this only when you are ready to plant seeds)

You do not have to plant something in each Grow Sponge Opening in your Tray. Just remember to store any unused Grow Sponges in an airtight bag and to cover all empty Grow Sponge Openings to inhibit algae growth in Bowl.

•Remove pre-moistened Grow Sponge from bag.

•Place Grow Sponge into Tray so that the Dibble is on top. (Grow Sponge is tapered, with the lower section narrower than Dibbled top.)

•Cover any empty Grow Sponge Openings with a moisture-tolerant material.

Your Garden Starter Tray is now ready for seeding.

Refll packs for Garden Starter Tray are available at www.aerogardensupport.com or from your retailer.

NOTE: Don’t worry about Tray discoloration. As long as Tray is sanitized, staining will not affect the growth of your next planting.
