If you are planting…  
Herbs or Flowers* - arrange Seed Pods by plant height (see “Plan Your Garden Layout” on page 5).  
Tomatoes or Peppers (6-pod Vegetable Series Kits) - place one Seed Pod in each Front/Side opening and  
one Seed Pod in the center Back opening. Place Plant Spacers in remaining openings.  
Green Beans, Salad Greens or Live Plants - place Seed/Plant Pods anywhere in Grow Surface.  
Master Gardener Kit* - arrange Pods in Grow Surface according to plant height.  
*Re-arranging may be required as plants grow.  
Create a Custom Garden – combine two 3-pod Seed Kits.  
Important guidelines to consider when combining Seed Kits…  
Only combine kits from the same Series, e.g., flower with flower, herb with herb, etc.  
Consider plant height when combining Seed Pods from two 3-pod Seed Kits. Refer to “Plan Your  
Garden Layout” on page 5 when deciding where to place Seed Pods in your 6-pod AeroGarden.  
When planting – use BOTH Starting Nutrients (two tablets) from each 3-pod Seed Kit.  
All Other Feedings – use TWO Growing Nutrients (two tablets) from each Seed Kit until they are gone.  
Plant your AeroGarden. Check to see that…  
A Seed/Plant Pod or Plant Spacer is in each  
Grow Surface opening.

Personalize Your Light Timer  
(optional)  
Your AeroGarden 6 has lights and a built-in timer that automatically provide plants with the optimal amount of “sunlight”  
(about 16 hours) and “night” (about 8 hours), depending on plant type you selected.  
*
As long as plants get this amount of light, it does not matter when lights are turned off. Many people find it conve-  
nient to have lights go on in the morning and off at night to match their own wake and sleep schedule.  
*The exceptions to this are Flower & Vegetable plants. They require a daily dark period in order to produce flowers. If your plants will receive any room  
light during the day (natural or artificial), we recommend setting your AeroGarden lights to be on during the day.  
5 Simple Steps...
