Garden Starter Tray

Seeding Plan

The
Grow Sponges
are all the same size and receive
the same amount of light, warmth and moisture.
Following are a few guidelines that will help you
decide where to plant each seed type. Use a blank
Tray Layout
(pages 21-22 of this Guide, or online
at www.aerogardensupport.com) to work out and
record your
Seeding Plan
(sample shown below).
• Use the outer
Grow Sponges
for seedlings with
large, spreading leaves (such as beans, cucumbers
and okra) to prevent them from shading other seed-
lings in your
Tray
.
• For a staggered seeding of plants with the same
planting out date (e.g., all frost tolerant plants or
all non-frost tolerant plants) use the inner
Grow
Sponges
for the slow growing seeds (which get
seeded first) and the outer
Grow Sponges
for
the fast growing seeds. This allows you to plant
the fast growing seeds without reaching over
and potentially damaging the seedlings that are
already growing.
• For a staggered planting of seeds with different
planting out dates (such as the lettuce, beet,
scallion, chard, tomato, pepper and cucumber
example on bottom of page 5 of this Guide),
consider using every other
Grow Sponge
for
the planting of frost tolerant plants. Again, this
will ensure that leaves from the larger non-frost
tolerant seedlings get enough light.
Once you have decided which seeds to plant and when to start them, the next step is to decide
where in the
Tray
to plant seeds, how many seeds to plant in each
Grow Sponge
and how deep
to plant seeds. We recommend using a Blank
Tray Layout
(pages 21-22
)
and/or
Seeding Log
(page 23) to keep track of your choices and create a
Seeding Plan
. (Additional blank
