Loved your ideas about using rockwool and your own nutrients. PLEASE let me know where we can get cheap nutrients and seeds!
We are in SURVIVAL mode now that Obama is back in and live on an Island in Alaska, so are isolated and Need to “grow our own”! I am going to buy the new Ultra and Extra Elite.
Has anyone grown Cucumbers!??? How about eggplants? Thanks, Darla

Thanks for the overview. I just strated mine and I got a lot of ideas from you. Like using the pods again.

I purchased an AG from craigslist about a month ago. I still haven’t been able to use it due to not being able to buy a seed kit. Everywhere I look it’s “Out of stock.” Everyone sells them….but NO ONE has them.

I’m all for re-using the pods…..if i could just find some.

After two weeks of use, we have tomato plants, but there is mould floating in the water & all through the root systems. How is that caused & how do we prevent it??? Room temp is average 65 c .

Thanks,
Cor : )

Hello! Just bought my aerogarden , cant wait to hear more of the making your own nutrients for plants , i am an avid gardner , and did grow my own flower’s and other vegetable plant’s inside , worked well but it is a lot of work , i’m thinking of buying the kit for growing 60 different plant’s all at once in the aerogarden , once they are up u can plant them outside weather permitting,

Question: did u try that kit yet , want to know if it was well worth it.

Save all your seed kit plastic pods! Absolutely they ARE re-usable, just sanitize them first in a bleach solution. Rinse off well, dry and then you can put your own growing medium in. I grew ruby swiss chard in my basement from January to July.

Oh, good places to find out about alternate growing pods, liquid nutrients, what seeds other people are planting, etc… is the http://www.aerogardengrowers.com forums.

Hello all! I’ve had my AeroGarden Space Saver 6 for awhile now. Thanks to the AeroGarden Growers forum (not affilated with AeroGrow), I’ve learned all kinds of stuff about the AGs. There are options out there for cheaper nutrients and grow pods, but sadly, not the lights. There’s also the Master Gardener’s kit which gives you grow pods and cages so you can grow your own stuff.

Good luck everyone! I love my AeroGarden. 🙂

Love my Aerogarden(AG),but reluctant tospend the $$$ on new pods, seeds, nutrients. When someone finds good substitues, let the rest of us know.

Thanks so much for the info! I am excited to hear about how well it went reusing the pods since I’m a poor student and love saving money 😀

Great info – thanks. I bought a unit a couple of weeks ago, and have seedlings reaching for the sky already.

Question: have you or anyone else come up with a sure-fire nutrient formula yet?

Thanks.
