  • QuestionThis might be a stupid question but im new to planting and gardening. Does this water itself or do we need to water it?

    Asked by Shelby.

    • Answer You add water to the reservoir and there is a pump in the unit that periodically stirs up the water. Once the plants start growing, they go through quite a bit of water. I have to add water every day.

  • QuestionWill this increase my electricity bill?

    Asked by Vharris.

    • Answer Let's get real - these days, it's important to have an understanding of how much energy you use. It's the responsible thing to do! We take pride in the low amounts of energy that AeroGardens use. Read on, we did the math for you! To calculate how much energy an AeroGarden uses, we use the following formula: -- The number of hours each day that your AeroGarden is on (based on type of garden planted and AeroGarden type itself), multiplied by -- The wattage figure given above for your model AeroGarden (divided by 1000 to convert it to kilowatts, as used by the electric company), multiplied by -- 31 days a month, multiplied by -- The cost per kilowatt hour charged by your utility (in this case $.11 kw/hour) For example, in a cubicle in one of our office at AeroGrow we are growing Gourmet Herbs (on 17 hours a day) in an AeroGarden Bounty (which uses 48 watts, or 0.048 kilowatts, of power). This AeroGarden is on for 31 days a month, at an average utility rate of approximately $0.11 per kilowatt hour of electricity. AeroGarden Model Wattage Used (Average) Cost to Run Per Month at 11¢ Per kw/hour AeroGarden Farm 126 watts $7.30 per month AeroGarden Bounty 48 watts $2.78 per month AeroGarden Harvest 23 watts $1.33 per month AeroGarden Sprout 13 watts $0.75 per month

  • QuestionHas anyone had an issue with gnats or any other types of bugs/pests being drawn to these plants or lights indoors?

    Asked by JSSH.

    • Answer Insects that go after plant tissue like whitefly, aphids, and mites all stay in check in an outdoor garden because of natural predators. Thankfully, there is a natural balance and plenty of predators in the world. Plants grown in an AeroGarden are susceptible to all the same pests as other indoor houseplants. They can enter your home through open windows, on clothing, or on produce, flowers, or potted plants. If you see fine white threads on or between leaves, tiny black or green specks on stems or the underside of leaves, or a sticky substance on the surface of the leaves or grow deck, your plants may have picked up some hitchhikers. We have helpful information in the blog on the Aerogarden website on how to deal with bugs in your Aerogarden. Please visit our website to find the blog, and please reach out to our customer service team with any questions or concerns. You may contact us Monday through Friday from 9 am to 4 pm MST, by calling 937-915-2583. As well, we have Live Chats available Monday through Friday from 9 am to 4 pm.

  • QuestionHow does it work for MJ?

    Asked by JDog.

    • Answer Seed in paper towel like usual. When it first sprouts insert seed in a "grow anything" empty pod. Turn light cycle to 12/12 to trigger flowering before you reach the max light height, or transplant from machine. This machine is only good for sprouts, it will not keep a full grown alive.
