How do I take care of my
Garden when I go out of town?
Add water to raise the level up
to
“Fill To Here.
” A newly planted
Garden with
Domes
removed
may not need care for up to 2
weeks. However, if your Garden
is mature and you will be out of
town for several days, we recom-

someone to care for your Garden
while you are away.
Shouldn’t water always be
flowing over my
Seed Pods

Yes and no. When you selected
“Tomatoes/Peppers” on your
Smart Garden Control Panel
you
selected a setting that has been
specially designed to optimize
the growth of tomato plants by
regulating the flow of water to
the roots of your plants.
On the “Tomatoes/Peppers”
setting, the AeroGarden moves
water through the
Seed Pods
whenever the lights are on, and
for an additional 4 hours when
the lights are off to achieve
maximum growth and flavorful
tomatoes.
If your lights are on and the water
isn’t flowing in your AeroGarden,
please check the following:
•
Is the
Lamp Arm
fully inserted
into the
Base
? (see your Quick
Start Guide, step 1B).
•
Is the
Bowl
firmly seated in the
Base
? (see your Quick Start
Guide, step 1F).
•
If the water still isn’t flowing,
contact Customer Service (
see
back cover of this Guide for
contact options
).
My tomato plants are over 8

There are two possible reasons
for this.
