Feeding Your Garden
F
eeding Your Garden
The Master Gardener Deluxe Kit comes with two different types of
nutrient tablets to meet the needs of a variety of plant types.
The amount of nutrients in your garden increases with tablet size.
The nutrient tablets consist mainly of mineral salts that provide
13 micro- and macro-nutrients that all plants require. There is also
seaweed for a boost of 65 micro-nutrients and trace elements.
Each nutrient tablet also has ingredients that will keep the water
in your AeroGarden at a pH level that is ideal for aeroponically
grown plants.
Choosing a Nutrient Regime
Most gardens will need a combination of the small and large nutrient
tablets. Since we don’t know what’s growing in your garden, we can only
offer some guidelines for deciding which tablets to use.
Small Tablets
These tablets should always be used
when you first plant your garden.
They have a lower amount of
nutrients, and are sufficient for
sprouting and the first two weeks
of growth. Leafy greens, such as
lettuces, grow best with
2 Small Tablets at each
feeding for their entire
life cycle.
HELPFUL HINT: We have also found that
woody herbs that prefer dry conditions (such
as oregano, savory and thyme) grow best with
Small Nutrient Tablets for their entire life cycle.
