Q: What is Aeroponics?
A: Aeroponics is a dirt-free growing method where plant roots are suspended
in air within a 100% humidity, highly-oxygenated growing chamber. Because the
roots are bathed with ideal levels of nutrients, water and oxygen, plants grow
significantly faster, are healthier and have a higher nutrient content than
plants grown in soil.
Q: How big is the AeroGarden?
A: The AeroGarden has the footprint of a breadbox and is sized to fit
conveniently under most cabinets. The AeroGarden measures 16" long by 10 1/2"
wide by 15 1/2" high when it is first set up with the lights at the lowest
possible setting, and 21" high at the highest level. Currently the AeroGarden
comes in only one size.
Q: What comes with the AeroGarden?
A: Everything necessary for a complete season of growth (just add water).
The AeroGarden Includes:
1. Built-in plant lighting system
• Full daylight spectrum, energy efficient grow lights allow you to grow
anywhere. No natural sunlight needed.
2. Aeroponic optimizing chamber
• Creates a near-perfect rainforest growing environment.
3. Computerized "smart" garden technology
• Built-in micro-processor automatically adjusts nutrient delivery, light
cycles and water for specific plant types Built-in light timer turns lights on
and off
• Built-in reminder system automatically alerts you to add water and
nutrients
Free Gourmet Herb Seed Kit included with each AeroGarden:
1. Pre-seeded bio-dome seed pods
• Enclosed in their own mini- greenhouse for ultra-fast germination
2. Time-release nutrient tablets
• Perfect plant nutrition with 65 macro and micro-nutrients for optimal plant
health.
3. Tending & Harvesting Guide with recipes
• Walks you through everything you need to know to grow and harvest your
plants, as well as tips and recipes for enjoying your harvests.
Q: How long will my plants live?
A: Cherry Tomatoes and Chili Peppers will grow for 6 - 7 months, and you will
be able to start harvesting in about 10 weeks. That gives you approximately 4
months of continuous harvests.
Salad Greens will grow for 4 - 5 months, and you can begin harvesting after
only 3 weeks. This gives you about 3 - 4 months of continuous harvests
Gourmet Herbs, International Basil, International Gourmet series (French,
Italian and Japanese) and Cascading Petunias will all grow for 4 - 5 months. You
can start harvesting your herbs and basil in about 4 weeks, giving you 3 - 4
months of continuous harvests.
Q: When can I begin harvesting?
A: It depends on which Seed Kit you have. You can begin harvesting lettuces
and basils 3 weeks after planting your garden and then enjoy continuous harvests
for months. Other herbs will take about 5 weeks to be ready to begin harvesting.
Fruiting plants will take longer to harvest: about 10 - 12 weeks for cherry
tomatoes and chili peppers.
Q: Are the nutrient tablets organic?
A: The AeroGarden nutrient tablets are organic, according to current AAPFCO
(American Association of Plant Food Control Officials) standards.
Q: Can I mix Seed Kits?
A: Yes, although this is primarily recommended only for experienced
gardeners. There are three reasons for this:
1: Because the plants grow at different rates and have different leaf sizes,
some faster growing plants in mixed kits could over-shadow and block the light
from slower growing plants. Experienced gardeners will know how to avoid this
issue.
2: Our nutrients have been specially designed for the group of plants in each
kit. If kits are mixed the plants could be under or over-fed, resulting in less
than optimal growth.
3: Your AeroGarden comes with pre-set light cycles according to kit type. If
you mix kits you could be sub-optimizing your plant's growth by giving it too
much, or too little, light.
Q: How much energy does the AeroGarden use?
A: The AeroGarden system has been designed for maximum efficiency. The entire
system uses less energy than a single 60-watt light bulb.
Q: What kind of light bulbs does it use?
A: The AeroGarden uses full-spectrum compact fluorescent bulbs exclusively
designed for the optimal amount and type of light needed for robust, healthy
plant growth. |
