Here are the steps on how to start seeds using an AeroGarden:

Prepare the AeroGarden. Fill the water reservoir to the fill line with distilled water. Add half the recommended amount of liquid plant food to the water reservoir. Soak the seed starting sponges. Soak the seed starting sponges in the water for 24 hours. This will help the sponges absorb the water and nutrients, and it will also help to soften the sponges so that the seeds can easily penetrate them. Sow the seeds. Once the seed starting sponges have soaked for 24 hours, you can start sowing the seeds. Follow the instructions on the seed packet for the number of seeds to sow per sponge. Place the seed starting sponges in the seed starting tray. Once the seeds have been sown, place the seed starting sponges in the seed starting tray. Cover the seed starting tray with the dome. The dome will help to create a humid environment, which is ideal for germination. Plug in the AeroGarden and set the light timer. Plug in the AeroGarden and set the light timer to come on for 15 hours per day. The seeds will start to germinate in 1-3 days. Once the seedlings have emerged, you can remove the dome.

You will need to add liquid plant food to the water reservoir every 14 days. You will also need to rinse the grow sponges with water every week.

With proper care, your seeds will sprout and grow into healthy plants in no time.

Here are some additional tips for starting seeds in an AeroGarden:

Use fresh, high-quality seeds. Old or damaged seeds may not germinate. Sow the seeds at the correct depth. The depth at which you plant the seeds will vary depending on the type of seed. Be sure to follow the instructions on the seed packet. Keep the water temperature consistent. The ideal water temperature for germination is 70-75 degrees Fahrenheit. If the water temperature is too low, the seeds will not germinate. Provide adequate light. The AeroGarden lights are designed to provide the right amount of light for germination. However, you may need to supplement the light if you are starting seeds in the winter or if your home does not get a lot of natural light. Be patient! It takes time for seeds to germinate and grow. Don't give up if you don't see results immediately. I hope this article helps you start seeds in your AeroGarden.
