AeroGarden Seed Alternatives

The AeroGarden is a fun way of growing your favorite flowers, fruits and vegetables indoors. Whether you place it on your kitchen counter or on the corner of your office desk, your AeroGarden is sure to let your green thumb shine. The seed pods for the AeroGarden are somewhat limited, however. So for a gardener looking to try a new variety of spinach or tomatoes, the minimal selection in seed pods can be disappointing. With this in mind, there are several alternatives to using the ready-seeded pods.
  1. Grow Anything Pods

    • Grow an assortment of lettuces for a tasty salad.

      AeroGarden's Grow Anything Pods allow indoor gardeners to stray away from the usual selection of a handful of vegetables and flowers. Including all of the vital nutrients that your seedlings will require, these kits will also include empty pods that can be refilled with your own seeds. So, simply pick up a package of your favorite variety of lettuce and plant them in the Grow Anything Pods for outstanding results.

    Custom Seed Kits

    • An assortment of freshly grown herbs is a chef's delight.

      If you are looking for more of a range in the types of vegetables that you grow, consider one of the AeroGarden custom seed kits. These kits will allow you to pick and choose the types of vegetables you wish to grow at one time. This is an alternative to the need to purchase several types of seeds pods individually.

    DIY Kits

    • Use your own seeds with DIY kits to grow anything.

      An alternative to the often pricey seed pods sold by AeroGarden is to purchase DIY kits from third-party retailers. These retailers have designed their own pod kits that allow you to plant your AeroGarden with your own seeds for a fraction of the price. Sold with the nutrients that your growing plants will need but without the plastic seed pods that can be reused from your original kit, these are a budget-friendly alternative to keeping your AeroGarden productive throughout the year.

    Foam

    • Grow a bouquet of beauty right inside your home.

      If you are somewhat more handy, you may just find that small pieces of nontoxic foam cut into long strips can be excellent replacements for AeroGarden seed pods. This foam can be found at your local hardware store and can be custom cut to your specified sizes. Simply make small holes in the foam and slide the seeds into the cavity. Within a few short weeks, you will have thriving vegetables, herbs and flowers.
