Features

THE AVERAGE REPLACEMENT SPONGE for the Aerogarden and other hydroponic systems is MEDIOCRE in quality and made from peat moss – which is not only slow-growing, its MINING process also releases huge amounts of TRAPPED CARBON. Urban Leaf Aerogarden Sponges are made of 100% ORGANIC COCO COIR, which is a SUSTAINABLE agricultural byproduct optimal for PLANT ROOT WELLNESS. So our grow sponges for Aerogarden are the better option – and kinder to the earth, too.

MANY SEED SPONGE OPTIONS wind up being TOO SMALL for the plastic holder, so they’re UNUSABLE. We’ve made our seed pods sponges to be the IDEAL HIGHER-QUALITY REPLACEMENT for pricier name brand options, designed to FIT PERFECTLY in the plastic holders for complete COMPATIBILITY with Aerogarden and other hydroponic systems. Plus, each of our Aerogarden pods sponges features divots to hold your seeds.

BETTER QUALITY – AT A LOWER COST. Our sponge pods for Aerogarden are AFFORDABLE, SUSTAINABLE, and TOP-QUALITY alternatives to expensive hydroponic supplies available. In fact, buying your sponges and plastic holders separately is the SECRET TO CUTTING your Aero-garden COSTS! As hydroponic growers ourselves, we’re here to help you save on supplies – WITHOUT SACRIFICING QUALITY.

MADE in the UNITED STATES, our hydroponic sponge set includes 50 replacement sponges, packaged in a RESEALABLE PAPER BAG for lasting quality. This Aeropod sponge set includes STEP-BY-STEP INSTRUCTIONS to guide you through replacement. If you have any QUESTIONS about your sponges, we’re standing by to lend a helping hand and coach you through the process.

AT URBAN LEAF, WE’RE PASSIONATE about teaching others how to GROW THEIR OWN FOOD at home – for a HAPPIER, MORE SUSTAINABLE PLANET. Growing what we eat not only increases the NUTRITIONAL QUALITY of our food, it also DECREASES WASTE & shortens supply chains. We’re proud to be the very first CARBON-NEGATIVE gardening company in the world.

After ordering the 50 pack replacement sponges (non-Aerogarden brand) only about 45 came. They likely had their weight threshold off in their manufacturing. I let the seller know and they sent another bag STUFFED TO THE BRIM free of charge.Note that these have the hole punched in random places instead of always in the center. I promise your plants don't care as long as they have clear view of the light.At first I used taped on saran wrap to simulate the iron on transfers. I had an X shape cut into them. I eventually realized my seeds don't care if it's open air, so I stopped using saran wrap. Just reused plastic holder + this sponge + sometimes the clear plastic seed cover/cap (read on to see why I recommend skipping the cover/cap).I had mold issues with every seed I planted after the first round of plants established themselves. (I.e. not starting over with every pod - just a few). 0% success rate with each one. I tried leaving the cover cap off the seeds and success went to about 50 success. (Note that when a seed failed due to being covered in mold or fungus, I would remove the dead seed, run water over the sponge while on a plate so that there's a small pool of water, and microwaved the sponge (Only the sponge! No plastic pod.) Until there was a healthy rapid boil and tons of steam. Any algae in it will turn to these bright green clumps. Once it cooled, I ran the sponge under cool water to make sure it was completely cool before putting a new seed in. I brushed the plastic pod with a toothbrush to remove any green algae or fungus spores, sometimes with dish soap, sometimes not. This is what gave me the 50% success rate. If you don't do that and reuse the fungusy sponge you'll likely still have a 0% success rate even with the top off. Replacing the sponge with a new one would also work but why waste them?To get the rate close to 100% success while having other established plants, I waited till the Aerogarden needed more fertilizer and then I cleaned the Aerogarden unit. (This is on an Aerogarden Harvest unit.) To do this, I pulled all the plants out. Any new or young seeds/sprouts were manually removed from the sponge (the others were too established and could not be removed). The removed sponges were microwaved after being put on a plate. Once cooled and had cold water run over them, the seeds/sprouts would be returned to the sponges. The plastic pods that could be separated were all brushed with a toothbrush, with or without dishsoap. The white plastic top that holds the pods was removed from the water basin. Pressing on the tabs on the white top one by one separated the 2 pieces that make it up. This was scrubbed with dish soap and a toothbrush. The water in the basin was dumped and the inside was lightly scrubbed with a soapy sponge. The little sponge in the basin that protects the pump was removed, root bits were extracted and the sponge was cleaned.Because I keep fish tanks, I know that sponge will grow a harmless naturally occurring bacteria and eat some of the ammonia and nitrites from my fertilizer instead of letting my plants consume it. I typically wash this first, squeeze the water out, and let it sit out to dry. The bacteria dies within 5-15min of this and if I cleaned everything thoroughly it would take about 6 weeks to re-establish. Given that I likely don't get every nook and cranny, it probably re-establishes itself faster. Who knows if this is helping my plants much but it gives me warm fuzzies knowing they're getting a tiny bit more amonia and nitrite nutrients.Once all the soap is rinsed off, double check the power cord attached to the removable basin to make sure it's dry. Fill the basin and put everything back together. Put the plants back in, leaving the caps off the seedlings and seeds. Add your fertilizer and you're ready to go. This cleaning process skyrocketed my success rate with the seeds. I like to think it's because I killed the bulk of the spores in the water making it work that much harder to come back. By the time it has a chance to come back, my seedlings are established and seemingly naturally resistant. (I use all organic seeds, so there's no pesticide help.)I highly recommend these sponges. They look wonky but they totally work. (And note that the Aerogarden brand pods might look less wonky but they have the same mold/fungus issues.)
