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