These sponges differ from our Bottle Garden 'Smart Soil' kit in two ways
- These are a different material (coco coir vs pine bark based)
- These are not pre-treated with hydroponic plant food. In order to use these sponges you would need to add liquid plant food separately.

Description
Perfect for Aerogarden owners looking to either save money or reduce their environmental footprint, these Aerogarden Compatible grow sponges are the only ones on the market made from coco coir, an agricultural by-product.
The 'brand name' alternatives are made from peat moss (the mining of which releases huge amounts of trapped carbon), meanwhile the cheap Chinese-made ones are made from polyurethane (how they call them "eco-friendly" we don't know).
Urban Leaf is the World's Only Carbon Negative Gardening Company, and you won't find a better refund & replacement policy (Any Time, for Any Reason).

Additional information
How Are These Different from the Aerogarden-brand ones?
The main difference is the material they are made from. Aerogarden uses peat moss, the mining of which releases trapped carbon. By contrast, these are made from coco-coir (the barky outside part of a coconut). Since this is a waste/by-product of the coconut harvesting process, it does not create additional waste.
What Is Included?
50+ replacement sponges. That's it. We do offer other Aerogarden-compatible products like Liquid Plant Food and Seeds, but they are sold separately.
What Else Am I Going To Need?
The main thing you will need is the plastic cage, into which these sponges fit. Since we're a bunch of granola-munching-hippies, we wanted to offer a way to REUSE these plastic cages rather than have to throw them into landfill (as most Aerogarden users do).
We also recommend you use something to block light from getting into the reservoir. Anywhere you have light + water + nutrients you WILL grow algae. Since you can't remove water or nutes from your garden, we suggest you focus on eliminating the light. Do this either with the commercially available paper covers, or make your own with a post-it note.
Refunds & Returns
