I was having trouble with spinach seeds, nothing was sprouting, but as usual you came to my rescue!. Thank you so much for all you share with us. You are wonderful 🌿

[@aerogardenexperiments]

Happy to help!

When I start spinach seeds 4 outside garden I put the seeds on a wet paper towel as u do, put in a ziplock bag and place in fridge for 5 or 6 days and then plant..works everytime. It tricks them into thinking they have been winter'ed over I suppose. One time I left in for about 3 weeks bc of distractions in life and the whole paper towel took on a life of its own, lol. They were woven through the towel so I just tore the towel in a few pieces and threw then in the garden and covered lightly..it worked fine.

[@jmward1984]

I wasted quite a few spinach seeds before looking for this video out of frustration. I now have plenty. It also worked for outdoor planting as well. I transferred my seedlings into soil. Thank you!

[@tessloggins8485]

I learn a lot from your videos. I am going to retry my spinach seeds in a ziplock bag. ❤❤❤

[@Ruffian144]

Your's is one of the best channels on KZbin & I look forward to watching all your videos! I have fought many losing battles w/ spinach seeds, but after watching this video I feel ready for another try. Thanks.

[@aerogardenexperiments]

Thank you! I wish you good luck with Spinach when you try it next time. I am sure it will work out.

[@ivorykeys1566]

I TOO FOUGHT A LOSING BATTLE WITH SPINACH SEEDS... 🙈 I AM HOPEFUL AFTER WATCHING THIS MANS VIDEO... HE TAKES HIS TIME, SHOWING EVERY DETAIL- AND FOR THAT I'M GRATEFUL! ❤ JUST FINISHED HARVESTING THE REMAINDER OF AERO GARDENS "SUPER FOOD MICROGREENS" (not a favorite!! ).. GOING TO USE THAT BOUNTY ELITE... GOING TO PUT DRY SEEDS INTO THE AG GROW SPONGE, AND BLACK DOMES OVER THE TOP(I COLORED THE CLEAR DOMES WITH AN EXTRA LG BLACK MAGIC MARKER). THIS SHOULD GIVE THE SEEDS A FEEL OF BEING IN THE GROUND.. LOL. 😁

[@enriching-hobbies]

Hello! Love your Aerogarden videos. Before I bought our's in December, I watched a bunch of your videos. Great stuff! I tried growing spinach from seed a few times, but with no luck, but I used your method here, and now have 3 very nice spinach plants. Thanks for the great content!

[@aerogardenexperiments]

Glad you like them!

[@Angelino126]

Thank you so much for showing us the paper towel method. I was about to throw out a large bag of kale seeds but I tried this method and two seeds germinated. Yaaay!

[@junebugsa]

And it worked. I have spinach growing. Thanks again!

[@aerogardenexperiments]

That's really great news. Thank you for sharing.

[@junebugsa]

Thanks for the information! Going to give it a try.

[@sarasotarebel2445]

I'm so glad I found your video before I started. I was going to just place the seeds into the pods but now I'll use your method to germinate them first. Thank you!

[@simplesojourner]

Very good video! I was having the same problems with spinach. I followed your instructions and now have a good crop growing! Thank you!

[@Heidi-tv8sd]

How long was your good crop growing in the Aerogarden?

[@jasonloomis8160]

Great video!

[@Kelpas9]

So far I have a 100% germination rate. Only thing I do is pour water on top of pod were seed is while it is in aero garden.

[@jennylas]

Thank you! I really wanted to try spinach but read it was really hard. I will give this a shot!

[@MeghansTube]

Thanks! Starting spinach now, and will germinate first in paper towels! :)

Thank you so much for your kind words, and supporting my passion towards experiment with Aerogardening and share the results. You support always motivates me big time.

[@tomasasompolinsky1143]

Very good. It's been a full month and my spinach is just bursting out of the seeds in the pods. I'll try your best way, next time.

[@adamjensen1698]

Thank you for this. I felt that germinating seeds in the aerogarden keeps them too wet and too cold to properly germinate. I will do this next time!

[@KnowTruthLoveTruth]

Hello! You wrote that the temperature near your Aerogardens is always between 60 and 70 Fahrenheit. How do you keep the temperature between 60 and 70 Fahrenheit? Do you put ice in the water or do you use a portable air cooler, or something else?

[@aerogardenexperiments]

Hi, the daily outside temperature where I live is mostly below 60° F year round. So, I set up my heater at 65 so the temperature stays between 60 and 70. There are cases where the outside temperature goes above 70 for 2 (or max 3) months and I add a fan during that time.

[@villanuevaruth21]

Wow, love your video, i tried to do a spinach but never germinate at all, maybe because its an old seeds, Is this kind of spinach good for summer days? we have a 2 season only dry and wet, is this crap good in sunny day?

[@aerogardenexperiments]

Yeah, this works fine in summer. Just to let you know that the summer where I live never goes above 90° FAHRENHEIT.

[@villanuevaruth21]

@@aerogardenexperiments Thank you for the reply, I am doing some hydroponic but the heat is too hot, do you think it will work?

[@JemimahMai]

I get almost 100% germination rate when I use the paper towel method with some water and food grade hydrogen peroxide. Spinach seeds are always germinated😊

[@aerogardenexperiments]

Good to know about the use of hydrogen peroxide for germination. I will try it. Thanks.

[@KnowTruthLoveTruth]

Great video! How did the Spinach taste? I've read online that sometimes spinach can taste *bitter* if grown in a hydroponic garden, especially if *not* grown between 63-70 degrees Thanks for posting the video! :)

[@aerogardenexperiments]

It tastes very good. My experience is the other way. I usually see the darker spinach on the bitter side but this one tastes like baby spinach. It's pretty good.

[@buddysmom1583]

Question: Can you put a lid on the jar with water that you are soaking your seeds in for 48 hours, or does the container have to remain open? Thank You for your informative videos!

[@aerogardenexperiments]

You can put the lid if you want to block any dust or debris, but please do not put the airtight lid. It needs airflow even though the seeds are submerged.

[@buddysmom1583]

@@aerogardenexperiments Thank You!

[@mojitochica]

Great video! Does floating seeds mean dead seeds in general or just for spinach?

[@aerogardenexperiments]

Yeah, still floating after 24 of soaking is considered dead.

[@mojitochica]

@@aerogardenexperiments Thanks!

[@buddysmom1583]

Once the seeds have been placed in the baggie to sprout, where is the best place to put them? In a dark place, or near the AeroGarden with its lights on? Thank You!

[@aerogardenexperiments]

Dark and warm place is ideal. I just leave it on top of Aerogarden light panel. That won't be the dark place, but the light panel is always warm and it helps boost the germination. I am getting very good results keeping the bagggie on the Aerogarden light panel.

[@buddysmom1583]

@@aerogardenexperiments Excellent! I was thinking a same thing about putting the baggie on top of my coffee maker. However, the AeroGarden stays on much longer. Thank You!

[@jenr6549]

Thank you so much for this information! I'm thinking about getting an Aerogarden mostly for spinach and watercress. I'm scouting for information on what the yield is like. I use about a cup of baby spinach leaves per day and a cup of watercress maybe every other day, and am wondering if it's worth using an Aerogarden needing that amount.

[@aerogardenexperiments]

If you want one cup of spinach every single day, I recommend you to start spinach in at least 2 Aerogarden Harvests with full of spinach pods. Start the second garden with one week delay. One more thing is, Spinach is a short crop (irrespective of the variety) and it goes up to a month and half so you need to start over the gardens once they start to bolt. To get a cup of watercress every other day, one Aerogarden Harvest with full of watercress pods will be sufficient. Whether it is worth or not has so many perspectives, but in my opinion, it is 100% worth for me because it is impossible to get fresh greens unless I go to a farm and harvest the greens myself. So, for any greens, it is totally worth growing them in Aerogarden or any hydroponics system.

[@jenr6549]

@@aerogardenexperiments Thanks so much for your response! Really appreciate it.

[@couponqueen5089]

Is there anything you can use to make sure hydroponics water remains germ free?

[@aerogardenexperiments]

I am not using anything. I just keep changing the water more frequently (once every 30 days) and clean the bowl and grow deck.

[@birdseyeview5242]

Will the method of placing the zip lock containing a wet paper towel and seeds on the aerogarden lamp work for coriander seeds as well?

[@aerogardenexperiments]

Yeah, it works for any seeds. Little warm always helps germinate any seeds.

[@JD-zt3nr]

An article i read advised to keep the pack of seeds in the refridgerator for 1 week prior to planting in the aerogarden. By any chance did you try that?

[@aerogardenexperiments]

I haven't tried that. Looks like a good tip. I will experiment with this technique. Thanks for asking.

[@JD-zt3nr]

@@aerogardenexperiments Have you had a chance to try this? I'm getting ready to plant my spinach, and was wondering if this will help. They've been in the fridge since i last wrote.

[@KnowTruthLoveTruth]

I have 2 questions: What brand of spinach seeds do you recommend for spinach that can be eaten raw? Do you try to keep your water temperature in the 60's or in the 70's (fahrenheit)? Thanks.

[@aerogardenexperiments]

1) Bloomsdale Long Standing, Giant Nobel, and New Zealand are 3 varieties that are good to eat raw. 2) Yes, temperature near my Aerogardens is always between 60 and 70 Fahrenheit. It never goes above 70.

[@Shivermetimbers90]

@@aerogardenexperimentshow do you keep it that temp? I keep my house at 69 but I live in south Florida and during the summer my AC can’t keep up and my house gets into the 73-74 range

[@samljer]

I Grew bloomsdale long standing from Richters just fine, sprouted easy. Are those old maybe? Its true, germination is lower, but i didnt get rott, and each pod got at least 1 sprout. most getting 2.

[@aerogardenexperiments]

Yeah, I am thinking the same that the seeds are a bad batch.

[@tronziebit]

Have you tried to grow culantro plants?

[@aerogardenexperiments]

Yes, I did and it worked out very well. Here is the video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/qZjYfJ58nLyUorc

[@Dawnfinn03]

How do you get spinach seeds from these plants?

[@aerogardenexperiments]

If we let it go for 3-4 months, it will produce seeds. I had to trash these plants after 2 months due to aphids. Anyways, I don't prefer waiting for seeds in Aerogarden. I just think it's waste of time and resorces. I usually let them go to seeds if I grow outside.

[@ter8330]

Does that sponge come with your Aerogarden? Thank you!

[@aerogardenexperiments]

No. The sponges I used in this video are from park seed.

[@ter8330]

@@aerogardenexperiments Thank you!

[@pjlacey3990]

Not sure if this will help, I saw another gardener soak her peat pods in water prior to planting and she had better germination success.

[@aerogardenexperiments]

Interesting... Pods will always be wet in Aerogarden since the water flows over the pods every 1 hour and sponges absorb enough water. I agree with soaking sponges for other gardens like iDoo, etc. in which water doesn't flow over the sponges.
