Question
how to plant mixing salad greens and herbs
The seed boxes say to plant in the aerogarden the same way the pods are placed in the box. If I want to mix greens and herbs, should I do the same thing. For example, plant the 4 lettuce pods in the back (as they appear in the box) and 3 herb pods in the front (as they appear in the box)? Hopefully, my question will make sense to somebody (I hope)!

IT sounds like you want to mix two sets. If that is that case, then I do not know if the light setting for lettuce greens would be the same as the light setting for herbs. It might be worth asking the manufacturer. That is the only thing I would be concerned about.

It is my understanding that it is not recommended to mix the green kits with the herb kits because of the different nutrient and light requirements. That is why there are different settings on the front of the AeroGarden. Check out the AeroGarden company website. It is full of information and tips. Hope this helps!

I would start in how long it takes to germinate. I made the mistake of doing all at once and I didn't realize how fast the lettuce grows. My herbs were just sprouting when the lettuce was creating shade for them, so I had to keep pushing the lettuce back. If you do start the herbs first make sure you either put plant spacers in the empty slots (until they are ready) or you cut cardboard or something and put over the holes. If you leave a open hole you are asking for algae to grow. The spacers you can get on the aerogarden website. I just know this from other bloggers. I have 2 aerogardens. The first one I learned the hard way the second one I cut cardboard.
