Cheap AeroGarden 9419-00Z 9419-00Z Replacement Grow Sponges for Garden Starter Tray Review

Finally, a replacement grow sponge that works. These sponges come in packs of 70, and are exactly the right size for replacing those highly overpriced seed pods for my AeroGarden 6 Elite. And as a bonus, the seller threw in a free package of those all so important nute tabs! Don't throw away your used seed pods; simply recycle the little plastic cone-shaped baskets by inserting a new grow sponge. Tuck your own seed into the little "dimple" at the top of the sponge, push it into the plastic cone and you're good to go. For clones, split the sponge halfway down with a razor and tuck the bottom of your shoot securely into the sponge before pushing it into your cone. Proceed as you normally would for growing stuff in your AeroGarden 6 Elite. For some reason the AeroGarden catalog only sells the short fat replacement sponges that go with their older model gardens, such as AeroGarden 7. (AeroGarden is a fabulous product, but they charge nearly TWENTY DOLLARS (!) for six seed pods??---Please!)

Call me naive, but I didn't see the necessity to replace the AeroGarden bulbs if they still produced light, and I was wrong. After a bulb died, I ordered a replacement pair from Amazon. I did research and found that they are the only bulbs which can be used, they are basically the same price everywhere, if you order online, shipping charges vary, and local stores do not stock many of these. That's about it. No brainer that Amazon was my supplier of choice -- fast shipping, (2 days w/ Prime membership), competitive price, guarantee that they would be fine when they arrived, and I love supporting my favorite "shop."

The replacement bulbs look exactly like the previous bulbs and the snug fit was equal in all. At first, I thought that I'd simply replace the one dead bulb and keep the second one as the backup, but after I recovered from the illumination produced by the new bulb, I immediately removed the second one and replaced it as well. The plants have shown a love for the new lights and are sprouting much more quickly than they had for the previous four weeks. Although I'm not thrilled at paying ten dollars for each bulb, I've invested in this garden, and that's the way it is (for now). Aside from that, my only criticism of the bulbs is that one separated from the base when I removed it from the garden. Didn't make me feel too secure even though the lights were not turned on. I will now replace the bulbs in the recommended six months, but I'll keep those which still do produce light as a backup in the event that one burns out prematurely. I don't want to be caught in the dark again.
