We recently received a great set of photos from an Aerogarden user who had grown his own strawberries, in his own words here is how he did it;
“1. Bought seedlings from a nursery
2. Washed all the dirt and soil away from the roots: I was frightened to cause lot of stress for my plants. Miraculously they did not suffer at all.
3. I planted my seedlings to Master Gardener seedpods. I did not use the grow sponge – directly to pods.
4. I trimmed roots drasticly. However, the plants did not suffer at all.
6. I got flowers.
7. One week later I had baby strawberries.
8. Today I began harvesting. They do taste really, really good. Just as they’re supposed to.”
For more photos from Mr Kojo’s strawberries please see our customer photos section of our blog. Many thanks to Mr Kojo for his feedback and photos of his work.

Over the last month or so at Aerogarden Towers we have noticed an increase in customers who are using their salad greens to feed their pet tortoises. It is well known that these beloved land dwelling reptiles are herbivores, typically eating a diet based on alfalfa (in the UK this is known as Lucerne), clover or dandelions.
Many customers have found that the salad greens seed kit can be used as an ideal part of a tortoise’s diet, because they are organic salad greens. Although several customers have taken it one step further – purchasing an aerogarden starter kit with a salad green seed kit solely to feed their salad loving chums.
“I am very impressed indeed and setting it up with the aim of providing fresh food all winter to my non-hibernating tortoises – perhaps an unusual use for it. I will no doubt be back ordering seed packs and bits and pieces.”
So if you own a tortoise and are struggling to find adequate winter food for them, get in touch with us at Aerogarden towers on 0845 170 7555 or sales@aerogarden.org.uk.
