AeroGarden Tip #8 – Don’t Trust the Water Level Indicator

If you want to have a sucessful experience with your AeroGarden, there are really only a few necessary ingredients.

1. An AeroGarden of your choice
2. A power outlet you can plug your AeroGarden into
3. A seed kit for your AeroGarden
4. Water

For AeroGarden Tip #8 we are going to focus on the 4th ingredient: Water

In order to have a thriving and healthy AeroGarden, you need to have the correct amount of water in your AeroGarden. If the water level gets too low, your plants will suffer.  One of the things we have learned in our several years of AeroGardening, is this: DO NOT TRUST THE WATER LEVEL INDICATORS!

When we first started using the AeroGardens we would wait to refill the water until the indicator told us to…Little did we know that the indicators sometimes malfuntioned, and would not tell us when our AeroGardens needed more water. On some of the AeroGarden models, the water level indicators are actually based on a timer, not a physical water level measurement. We have found that it is important to contstantly check the water level regardless of whether or not the add water indicator is on, especially if you live in warmer climates. Making sure that the water level is always where it needs to be is necessary if you want your AeroGarden to thrive.
