When your garden has completed it’s growing cycle…
Sanitize AeroGarden.

Greens again.)
• Unplug AeroGarden, empty Bowl
and repeat this step (step 8) one
more time.
Towel dry the Bowl and Grow
Surface before putting them back
together and setting them back on
the Base.
If your Grow Bulbs have been in use
more than 6 months, they should be

Your AeroGarden is now ready for
