🌱 Growing Microgreens in the Aquatree Garden
Growing microgreens and wheatgrass in the Aquatree Indoor Growing System is a breeze! Seeds like wheat, radish, broccoli, arugula, kale, Swiss chard, beets, sunflowers, and more have proven to perform well in the Aquatree growing system. Simply spread your seeds over the microgreen screen tray insert and lower them into the growing tray. The water will rise enough to provide oxygen and nutrients to your sprouting seeds. Watch as the seeds sprout and grow into perfect little microgreens. To harvest, simply remove the tray insert. Using a sharp knife, cut the dangling roots directly under the insert. The microgreens can easily be pulled up out of the microgreen tray with a small portion of the root still attached. Storing them with this little bit of root still attached can keep your micros fresh and ready for use. When growing microgreens, change the water about every 5 days.
🌱 Growing Sprouts in the Aquatree Garden
Sprouts are the perfect indoor garden crop. They are packed full of vital nutrients and ready to harvest within a few days. The Aquatree wouldn’t be a complete indoor garden system without the ability to grow an abundance of healthy sprouts. Whether you enjoy small broccoli and alfalfa sprouts or larger bean salad mixes, this system can do it all. When sprouting, it is best to clean your seeds ahead of time, especially for large seeds prone to be dusty. Cleaning your seeds ahead of time can help maintain a clean and healthy hydroponic growing system. Detailed seed cleaning instructions can be found within the Aquatree Garden User Guide. If sprouting mung bean, or a mix containing mung bean, we recommend doing the initial soak outside of the Aquatree system and adding later. This seed is known to quickly muddle the water during its initial soak phase. When sprouting, the water should be changed at least every 3 days.
🥗 Growing Leafy Greens and Herbs in the Aquatree Garden
Having fresh salad greens in the home has never been easier. The Aquatree is able to grow up to 25 heads of leafy greens at a time, along with other pod style plants. Want variety in your harvest? No problem. With 5 trays you can grow an assortment of sprouts, microgreens, leafy greens, and herbs all at the same time. Don’t forget to add plant food to your garden system. Leafy greens and herbs require additional nutrients to maintain steady and healthy growth.

Set up took about 15 minutes. The video on youtube helped. First crop was mung beans. Took about 2 days for them to get ready for harvest. I tried one straight out of the tray and it was okay, but I like them better in a salad. Next I grew some broccoli microgreens and started my lettuce. The microgreens took about a week and we used them on some burgers and mixed them in with some mac and cheese. The lettuce is still growing, I have about 1 more week before it should be ready to eat. Gonna try tomato plants when the lettuce is done. 5 stars because it does what it says it does and works how it says it will.

Works like they said it would. Easy to set up. Pro tip - keeping the water level high cuts down on the water noise.

I still like traditional gardening, but it’s not really something I can do in a chicago winter. Happy I can still grow my own food through the winter though. Gonna try starting my pumpkins and other plants in the aqua tree in the spring to take outside when it gets warmer.

We just found out I’m pregnant, so I really want to eat cleaner and healthier to help my baby while it’s growing. Nothing really tastes great to me right now because I’m first trimester, but I’m hoping to find some microgreens I can’t live without. Waiting on my first round to grow, but the set up was how it was shown in the video on youtube.
