I recently relocated my Aerogarden Farm Plus from the basement to my upstairs office/grow room. This means I need to set it all up again and get ti replanted. I thought this was the perfect opportunity to walk you guys through the whole process PLUS share a hack I wish I had known years ago!

I just bought an AeroGarden bounty and a harvest elite, to start my hydroponics journey. I found and love your channel.

@The_IndoorGardener 2 года назад

Amazing! I’ll warn you it’s addictive! But in a good way, you can’t beat harvesting fresh tomatoes in the middle of winter! If you have any questions or ideas for videos you would like to see please let me know! Happy growing!

@laural.6947 2 года назад

You are not alone when it comes to the pump!

@The_IndoorGardener 2 года назад

That makes me feel a bit better 😬

@sunshine_and_flowers 2 года назад

I have had the Farm Plus for 2.5 years and absolutely love it! I would love to see more videos of what you are growing in your farm.

@The_IndoorGardener 2 года назад

Hi Vanessa, That’s awesome! I’ve had mine for about 5 years. I’ll be sharing more videos over the winter on how the tomatoes, eggplant and peppers are growing. I am really excited to see the results of my root trimming experiment.

@briannoll3059 2 года назад

My apologies, I forgot about that. A cheaper, hopefully more available to you, alternative would be Southern AG garden friendly fungicide or Great White mycorrhizae. The Great White is pricey but a 4 oz. container lasts a loooong time. It's also a top of the line water soluble product to fight root rot and algae with lots of beneficial bacteria. All the while promoting plant nutrient/water uptake and root growth. Add a few small pieces of coral or lava rocks at the bottom of the water bowl to help the mycorrhizae and other beneficial bacteria get a better foothold to colonize your plant's roots. I like to make more O2 available to the roots by adding a water stone (black air hose only) to my Aerogarden setup for supercharged growth. Plants love it!

@The_IndoorGardener 2 года назад

Thanks Brian!!! I’m going to see if I can find either of those. I was planning to give the air stone a try, good to know it has worked out well for you. Thanks for sharing your knowledge.

Hi Gary, Welcome to the awesome world of growing hydroponically! It’s great to free up some space in your outdoor garden and also to grow year round! If you have any questions let me know and I’ll do my best to answer them for you.

@elewmompittseh Год назад

When I got my first Aerogarden Harvest 11 years ago I got a tomato seed kit. They are heirloom so I've saved seeds every year and haven't bought seeds again. I buy the pod parts in bulk too. I'm seriously considering expanding to the farm units. At the moment we've got 7 smaller units, and they keep us in salad and pesto...but I'd love large tomatoes, cucumbers and larger peppers.

@somarvls-mygreenindoors Год назад

Thank you. I have learned sooo much from you. I particularly am glad to learn about the hose especially since I plan on buying one of the farms and would hate to have to lift anything heavier than the smaller ones I presently own ( I move about with the use of a walker) :))). I am subscribed so that I don't miss any of your informative videos.

Thank you so much Marva! It always makes me happy to know people are finding the videos helpful!

Excellent video I think I want one now

@The_IndoorGardener 2 года назад

I love the height that the AeroGarden Farm gives you, plus the fact that you can run different nutrient levels in each of the bowls. But I also love my Family Rise Gardens as it uses the space better so that you can plant more holes. But it doesn’t have the same grow height and the water is shared on all levels. I will be doing an in depth comparison video soon.

@jeffreywolfanger938 Год назад

Wow was wondering what that was need to find hose thanks

@briannoll3059 2 года назад

Try using hydrogaurd or even better Great White to help prevent root rot and algae growth. Works great! Also stretching a panty hose over your inlet will help keep roots out of the pump. Helps prevent pump foul ups. Love your videos. Very well thought out and informative.

@The_IndoorGardener 2 года назад

Thanks Brian! I just learned about HydroGuard the other day. From what I’ve seen it’s crazy expensive to get it to Canada 😒

I just ordered the Farm 24XL! Came to YT to check out videos. So glad I did! I’m excited and can hardly wait to get started! My plan is 2 tomatoes, 2 pepper on 1-side and several herbs on the other. Does that sound ok?

@The_IndoorGardener 2 года назад

Hi Deborah, I’m so jelly you got the 24XL! You will have to stay on top of pruning on the side with the peppers and tomatoes but it can work. I have two peppers, one dwarf tomato and an eggplant on the one side. It’s all about experimentation!

Great info. I just bought 2 harvest elites and now think I new a farm lol so I can move them into something larger. What you you recommendation be for number of tomatoe plants for the same model. thanks

@The_IndoorGardener 2 года назад

Hi Mark, the amount of tomatoes would really depend on the type of tomato you are planning to grow. Pruning is also key! I am trying a Metallica tomato plant for the first time in one side of my Farm. It grew about 2 feet tall in my front garden this year so I am hoping it will do well in the Farm this winter. There is a lot of trial an error, I wouldn’t grow more than two in one side of the Farm but that’s just a general feeling without knowing the variety you want to grow. I have a micro tomato that is so small I could grow probably 6-8 in one side of the farm :)

You said you have been using AeroGardens for years. How long does the light last? I don't see a light replacement for these. I just bought the AeroGarden Bounty Basic. It is arriving tomorrow. I just can't wait!!! I Love Your Videos!!!! Thank You!!!!

@The_IndoorGardener Год назад

Thanks so much Vivian. That’s so exciting that your new bounty comes tomorrow! That’s the one unit I don’t have! My lights are still Going strong and they are the original ones! So not 100% sure on how long they last but they are LEDs which usually have a long life.

@@The_IndoorGardener I heard that I am supposed to soak the sponges in water before I put them into my AeroGarden. I saw a few videos and they told me to do that. The videos were about making your own seed pods with the sponges. Many people said to soak the sponges, add the seeds, label them, and put them into the AeroGarden. I just got my Bounty Basic yesterday. I have never had an AeroGarden before. I have 2 Tower Gardens. The Kit that is called Pesto with all the pods being Basil. I soaked the pods, felt if they were soft, and then I put them into the Bounty. Is that something I should do with the pre-filled pod? or just when I make my own pod? Do you think I heart the seeds or messed anything up? Thank you so much for your help....Hugs Viv ❤❤❤

I don't root trim either.

@The_IndoorGardener 2 года назад

Good I don’t feel so bad then LOL. I am just starting up my whole root trimming experiment, it will be interesting to see the outcome.

@marccormier9554 Год назад

Is there a way you can save the seeds from the fruits harvested and save them to regrow the same fruits or vegetables over and over and to save a lot of money that way? Would be cool to save most of the seed from they fruits or peppers. Like tomato seeds from freshly grown tomatoes for examples? 😃 ❤ 👍 👁

@The_IndoorGardener Год назад

Hi Marc, as long as they are heirloom or open pollinated plants then you definitely can! You can technically save seeds from hybrids but you won’t get the same plant next time as the seeds will revert to one of the parent varieties. Hope that helps!

@marccormier9554 Год назад

@@The_IndoorGardener So a hybrid plant or fruit wont give you the same fruit or plants or wont be any good to eat? They must be Heirloom or open polinated plants or fruits?

@marccormier9554 Год назад

What if you trimmed the roots of the plants to prevent them from reaching the water pump and growing inside the pump. Wouldn't be better to spend a little time trimming off very long roots as a maintenance step?

Do you think I can grow zucchini in this?

@The_IndoorGardener Год назад

I recently picked up some dwarf zucchini seeds and those may work. I’m a big proponent of try anything once…you may have to prune really hard, but why not give it a shot? I have grown melons and cucumbers hydroponically, so the only concern I would have with the zucchini is their size.

@slipspectrum9253 Год назад

Um, hacker pro tip. Using included functionality IS NOT a “hack” - a hack would be adding something to the garden that didn’t come as a standard feature… like adding an aquarium pump and an air stone to get more oxygen to the roots for explosive growth and yield would be a “hack”
