7 Designing Your Garden
P
lant Habit & Layout
Some plants are bushy, others feathery, some grow
straight, others branch out . As you plant your Garden,
think about shape and growth habits of plants . You may
want to put a feathery leafed plant in front where it
can be seen and use the back row for plants that grow
straight or bushy . Even after you’ve planted your Garden,
you can remove Grow Pods and rearrange them . (Just be
gentle with the roots!)
Horizontal Spreading
If you grow plants that have extensive branching or
will spread horizontally, you may want to leave some
Grow Surface Openings empty . Example: for 3-Pod
AeroGardens, plant only 1 Grow Pod for tomatoes and
peppers and leave the remaining 2 Grow Surface
Openings empty; for 6-Pod models, plant 3 Grow Pods
and leave 3 openings empty; and for 7-Pod models,
plant 3 Grow Pods and leave 4 openings empty . This will
give plants room to grow and assure they get the light
they need .
Be sure to cover unplanted
Grow Surface Openings to
inhibit algae growth . Our Plant
Spacers are a perfect fit and can
be re-used in any Garden . Plant
Spacer Kits include 6 spacers
and can be purchased at

Or, choose a material that will stand up to moisture, such
as aluminum foil or a plastic milk jug cap .
