Feeding Your Garden
Each Master Gardener Kit comes with two different types of nutrient tablets to meet the needs of a variety of plant types. The amount of nutrients in your Garden increases with tablet size..
Each tablet also contains ingredients that will keep the Cwater in your AeroGarden at a pH level that is ideal for
aeroponically grown plants..
Most gardens will need a combination of small and large nutrient tablets.. If you are planting cuttings, you will not have to add nutrients until you see roots extend from Grow Sponges.. Since we don’t know what’s growing in your AeroGarden, we can only offer some guidelines for deciding which tablets to use..
“Small” Nutrient Tablets
These tablets should always be used when first planting seeds in your Garden – one (1) for
Leafy greens (such as lettuces), and woody herbs (such as oregano and thyme), grow best with “Small” nutrient tablet(s) at each feeding for their entire life cycle..
For cuttings, start adding “Small” nutrients when you see roots extend from Grow Sponges – one (1) tablet for
“Large” Nutrient Tablets
Most plant types other than leafy greens and woody herbs need the higher amount of nutrients found in a “Large” nutrient tablet after 4 weeks (the third feeding..) Mint, basil and parsley are examples of herbs that grow well with “Large” nutrient tablet(s) at each feeding
