AeroGarden Compatible Sponges (50 Pack) | Eco-Friendly Coco Coir Alternative | Compatible with AeroGarden Seed Pods Made by Urban Leaf | Sponges Kit for Hydroponic Indoor Garden System (50)
Brand: Urban Leaf
Urban Leaf's Aerogarden compatible grow sponges offer an affordable and eco-friendly alternative to the brand name option. These replacement sponges are the same size and shape as the original ones, and will work with all Aerogarden models. These sponges are made from an agricultural by-product material called coco coir, which is basically the outside shell or husk of a coconut fruit. Compared to spagnum peat moss, which is what the Aerogarden sponges are made from, coco coir has a lower environmental footprint and does not involve the release of huge amounts of trapped carbon into our atmosphere. There are a number of Chinese companies offering Aerogarden sponges now too. These are mostly made of polyurethane foam (i.e. plastic). Do your own research about whether you want your food grown in this stuff, and please be mindful that just like any other plastic product it will not decompose like a plant-based material does.
BETTER QUALITY AT A BETTER PRICE: AeroGardens are a great way to grow at home, but existing sponge options are both expensive and of mediocre quality. They are also made from slow-growing peat moss.
WE COULDN’T FIND A BETTER OPTION, SO WE MADE ONE: Urban Leaf’s coco-coir based AeroGarden replacement sponges work perfectly with all AeroGarden models - offering an affordable, sustainable, and high quality alternative to the ‘genuine’ option. (Btw - we also offer a Liquid Plant Food option!)
SAVE $$$ ON AEROGARDEN SPONGE POD KITS: Replacement Pod Kits will set you back $10-15 a set. Purchasing the sponges and plastic pieces separately is a great way to save money on your AeroGarden. We also offer a dwarf and compact herb seed collection thats great for indoor gardening.
MADE IN THE USA: Urban Leaf sponges are made from sustainably produced coco coir and made in the USA. Grow Sponges made from Coco-Coir for optimal root health
SUPPORT A SMALL BUSINESS: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ " I have ordered these twice now, and I am very happy with how they work and their compatibility with my aero garden. I have not had any problems with these at all. In fact I would say that these are even nicer than the ones that came with the aerogarden seed starter kit!"
