gardeners like you who are not yet ready to
completely harvest their Garden after using
all the nutrients supplied with their original
Seed Kit. While we are now supplying you
with an additional 3 months of nutrient
tablets, AeroGrow International, Inc. cannot
guarantee the continued success of your
Garden. We suggest that as you use these
nutrients, you order your next Seed Kit so
that your AeroGarden® can quickly be
replanted when your plants reach the end
of their life cycle.

of a garden, no matter
how small, adds to

Tending your AeroGarden with the Extended Season
Nutrients is just as easy as before. Every 2 weeks, both

the “Add Nutrients” and “Water Level Low” lights will
blink on and off when it is time to add nutrient tablets.

When you add nutrients, continue using the same
method for feeding (Basic, Rinse & Rell, or Alternating)
as described in the Tending & Harvesting Guide
included with your Seed Kit. Each of the methods is
summarized below.

Basic Feeding

When your “Add Nutrients” light blinks, add

1

2 tablets from nutrient bag and reseal the bag.

Add water to raise the water level to “Fill To Here”

2

in the Bowl.

Press the “Reset” button to restart the nutrient timer

and turn off the blinking lights.

Enjoy your bountiful harvests!

Basic Rinse

As you extend your Garden’s life, you may
notice that some of your plants look unattractive
and/or have stopped growing while others are still
productive. At this time, you have a choice:

• Clip the old/dead plant just above the Seed Pod

Label to remove it and allow the productive

plants around it to keep growing. If you do this,
we recommend keeping the Seed Pod in the
Grow Surface to reduce algae growth;

OR

• Prepare for your next Garden (please refer

to the Tending & Harvesting Guide included
in your original Seed Kit).

We recommend checking
for bugs every time you
add nutrients. (Refer to
