Introduction

The Garden Starter Tray enables you to use your AeroGarden to start seedlings for transplanting into an outdoor garden. In just a small amount of space, with minimal care, you can now start up to 66 seedlings (36 seedlings for Space•Saver 6 models) and get a jump-start on the outdoor gardening season.

This Guide will assist you in deciding what to grow, when to start your seeds, how to seed the Garden Starter Tray and how to care for and transplant your seedlings to an outdoor soil garden or containers. We recommend that you read this entire Guide before starting your seeds.

Garden Starter Tray Basics

The Garden Starter Tray has supplies for starting 36 or 66 seedlings (depending on model you are using) – enough to start a summer vegetable or butterfly flower garden for your yard.
