Link for the AeroGarden is Down Below
in the instructions it says that you're going to want to put your smaller plants
at the front your taller ones at the back and your medium ones on the side so
if we look here we've got the basil or the basil which is tall so we're gonna
put it at the back and we're gonna put the dill which is also tall I'm gonna
put the dill here and the curly B our parsley which is short I'll go there the
chives which is short will go here and the thyme which is short will go here
and the other basil which is tall so I've got a basil a dill and a basil and
the mint is a medium okay so we've got all that set up now okay so I took the
pods out because I actually need to add the water and the nutrients first so
it's gonna take 4.1 liters of water or 1.1 gallons so it takes quite a bit of
water so we're gonna feed it through I just take the top off to feed it when we
top it up I'll use the little corner access but for now for the first go I'm
just going to fill it up this way takes quite a bit of water and you don't want
to use well water or softened water because of the it'll interfere with the
nutrients so you want to use tap water or distilled water that's fine and I
just need a touch more water
okay so you just want to fill it up to the fill line fill - here it says it was
very very clear and then we want to put our nutrients in you new pivot and for
this size of unit it says I need two capfuls so there's one of course I
spilled a few drops in so I'll just make it a little bit shy of two and then just
get all of it in there and give it a little bit of a stir and then put this
way now we can put the top back on and make sure it all fits in nicely with the
cords and it just sits there nice and solid and then we'll put our plants back
in so let's do our basil and our dill and our time which is short and our mint
with just medium and our short curly parsley or other basil and our chives
there we go now we've got it all set now these guys here need to go on to the
tops because it creates that little greenhouse effect it keeps them warm and
it keeps the humidity in once the plants reach the top of the inside of the cap
then you take the caps off but you don't do it before okay there we go
it all fits on nicely and we're going to want to bring the light as close as it
will come down and because they need as much light as possible they did the bar
seems to be pretty good there we go okay so what we're going to do is we're going
to move this to where it's going to have its permanent home and then we're going
to plug it in okay so we've got the unit where we want it to be so
we're gonna do is plug it in and there we go it's telling you what it is now
let's have a look saying welcome to your arrow garden press quick plant to start
your garden okay so here quick plant is right here it guides you through the
planting your arrow garden use this whenever you start a new garden so we
press ok
your arrow garden clock now shows 12 a.m. which it's not so we're gonna
change the time and it is certainly not in the middle of the night and if you
hold it down you don't have to click through each of the minutes which is
quite nice there we go and we are at 229
220 we're closer to 220 there we go and then we press ok ok so now the time is
correct settings confirmed select the garden type you're planting so we're
doing a an herb garden now this says that the lights will be on 17 hours per
day so what we want to do is set the lights on and off times so now it's
telling us to add the nutrients which we've done so we say ok nutrients are
added it gives you a little tip always top off with fresh water when adding
nutrients and press ok your lights are set to turn on at 8 a.m. and off at 1
a.m. so if that's the way you like it then great say ok if you want to change
that you can that's for setting clocks and lights so it's
telling us now to pour the water in which we done add the nutrients which
we've done put our grow pods in it which we've done and press ok to start your
arrow garden your pump will run in germination mode for a few hours a day
it will shift to run continuously in about two weeks this is really important
because a lot of people were thinking that their pumps were broken because
they wouldn't hear the pumps it's not very loud but you do hear it so in
germination mode it will not run continuously so don't think that your
pump is busted say ok and this will tell you what the status is Days planted
today is that where it day zero and it's saying we're going to add more nutrients
in 14 days so this is going to be the status that shows up all the time now
the one thing that you may want to do is
see when you hit OK again you will get some more options now we did the quick
plant if you want to change the settings for your lights you can go here if you
want to change the setting for your clock you can go there now this is
interesting you can set audio alerts so that it will tell you when it's going to
need more water or more need more nutrients and the alerts will sound
every 15 minutes during the times you set so we're gonna say ok we're going to
turn audio alerts on and set audio alert times and it'll be every 15 minutes
starting at 8 a.m. but they'll stop at 8 p.m. so we're good with that settings
confirmed and we'll go back and we'll go back
and you can press home so it comes back with your status so what we're going to
do is we're gonna keep track of this little guy and track the progress of the
herbs and provide you with any tips and tricks we learn along the way if you
have one of these units and you've had some good experiences with it and you
want to give us some tips or tricks comment below the video and let us know
we will check back in a few days bye for now
