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.
