Keep Your Garden Healthy

Keep Your Garden Healthy

Keeping a watchful eye on your Garden is not only a joy, but also a smart way to make sure your plants stay healthy.

As plants grow, you may see some dead or brown leaves around base of plants..This is

perfectly normal..

• Remove these leaves with scissors or pinch off with ﬁingers..

• Remove dead blossoms from plants by pinching off with fingers..

Support Plants

Fruiting plants may produce so much fruit that plants begin to tip over or break. If this occurs, support plants and bring them to the upright position by securing each plant to Lamp Arm with a tie..

Suggested Materials to Use

The best way to support fruiting plants is with AeroGarden Soft•Ties – purchase at www..aerogardensupport..com or from your retailer..

Ribbon, at least 1/4” (0..6cm), hook & loop tape, or old stockings will also work for securing your plants..

!or wire.. Also avoid materials that stretch, such as stretch ties sold in gardening shops, as these are not strong enough to support fruit-filled branches..Do not use ties that will dig into (and damage) stem, such as string
