The short answer is yes, you can! However, not all plants are compatible with the AeroGarden, and not all plants that like the AeroGarden like to be grown together. Different types of plants have different light, water flow, and nutrient requirements. We create our Seed Kits after careful research and testing to find plants that grow well in the AeroGarden, and then we combine them within each Seed Kit based on compatibility with one another not only in their light, water flow and nutrient requirements, but also in their growth rate and size.
If you are an experienced AeroGardener you will generally be okay combining herbs with herbs, greens with greens, and flowering/fruiting crops with other flowering/fruiting crops (such as tomatoes with peppers), provided you take care to prune them properly to keep them all about the same height. However, if you try to mix, say, lettuce with tomatoes, or herbs with flowers, you may run into trouble. That said, we do encourage our customers to experiment with their favorite plants and see whether or not they do well. For this purpose we offer a “Grow Anything Kit”, which comes with everything you need to create a seed pod EXCEPT the seeds: seven reusable baskets, a one season supply of grow sponges, domes, and nutrients, and an excellent “Grow Anything Kit Guide” which contains general suggestions for experimenting.
Wondering what kinds of plants don't grow well in the Aerogarden? Here's the answer.
We recommend that if you do not have prior hydroponic or aeroponic growing experience, you begin with one of our pre-planted seed kits until you get the hang of it. Our Gourmet Herbs and Salad Greens Seed Kits are very easy to grow, making them a great choice for first-time growers.
