Here is information that will tell you just about everything you need to know.

Method 1:
Here's what you will need to begin:
-An AeroGarden - Either the Bounty, or the Ultra
-A Grow Bowl - For the Bounty or the Ultra Gardens (Note: No longer available)
- Strawberry Crowns
When you purchase the Grow Bowl with Strawberry crowns it comes with the coco medium and detailed instructions on how to start. In short- You set up your grow bowl per instructions, cover it with the coco medium and then gently insert the strawberry crowns.
Method 2:
Here's what you will need to begin:
-An AeroGarden - Recommend the Bounty or any Farm Model.
-A Grow Anything Kit

Here's what to do:
1) Rinse off all the dirt from the strawberry roots with room temperature water.
2) If the roots are small, use scissors to cut a wet grow sponge down half of its length (more if the roots are long) and gently insert the roots into the grow sponge. If the root mass is too big to insert into the grow sponge, then just insert the roots directly into the plastic grow basket.
3) The "crown of the plant" - the growing tip - should be above the top of the grow sponge.
4) Insert the grow sponge through the grow basket label, if you are using one, and then insert the grow basket into the grow deck of the Aerogarden.
5) After you have planted all of your strawberry crowns, add the liquid plant food into the AeroGarden bowl and reset the nutrient timer. You should see new growth on your strawberry plants in 7-10 days!
6) When your nutrient timer comes on in two weeks, add nutrients as instructed and reset the timer.

Here's how to get the most from your plants: Keep the water topped up. Raise the grow lights as the plants grow, keep them 2-4 inches above the top of the plants. Prune your strawberry plants. Here's how:
Pollinate strawberry flowers:

As your strawberry plants grow, the older leaves will start to brown and die. This is perfectly normal. Remove the brown and dead leaves by cutting them at the base of the stem. To help prevent bugs keep the grow surface clear of dead leaves. Some common plant problems and remedies are shown below.
