Those cups are just the "domes" that fit over top of the seed "pods" to keep the moisture inside until germination occurs. They don't stay on while the plants grow. They're just little mini 'greenhouses' that support seed sprouting...

I found myself at the mall again today and I bought the kit to start my own seeds, instead of theirs...

This way I can grow whatever I want in my Aero~Garden, as long as I stick within 12". My system works well with plants that don't grow beyond 12".

You just put the brown seed sprouting sponge inside the plastic holder and then place your seeds down inside the little hole in the sponge. Then you label it and put the label into the holder as well...

The kit also came with 25 nutrient packets and only one is used every two weeks. How neat that I can grow whatever I want to now that I have these blanks. I still want to grow the herbs though to start with, before sowing my next personalized Aero~Garden.

Of course I have tons of room to plant here, but there's always room for more!

I love garden toys, and this is one if I ever saw it! Some Winters I don't feel like setting up my big metal halide system, so this is a nice compact alternative.

I use my four foot long fluorescents for seed germination and seedling growth in late winter. I enjoy light systems and have several of them, so this is another one to add to the collection. Plus it allows me to experience hydroponic growing, which has been a keen interest throughout the years.
