With AeroGarden’s closure, many indoor gardeners are searching for a reliable alternative to continue growing fresh microgreens at home. Whether you’re a long-time AeroGarden user or new to indoor gardening, the right growing medium is essential to ensuring your microgreens thrive.
Vegbed’s bamboo grow mats offer a sustainable and user-friendly alternative to AeroGarden’s felt medium.
In this blog, we’ll explore why Vegbed’s bamboo grow mats are the best available option for gardeners looking to maintain their indoor microgreen gardens.
Why You Need a New Growing Medium for Microgreens
AeroGarden’s felt medium has served many indoor gardeners well over the years. However, with the company ceasing operations, you may wonder where to turn next. Vegbed’s bamboo grow mats provide a natural, biodegradable, and sustainable solution for growing microgreens, herbs, and other plants indoors.
Our bamboo grow mats are made from 100% biodegradable bamboo fibers. They offer excellent water retention, minimal maintenance, and an eco-friendly gardening experience.
Key benefits of switching to Vegbed bamboo grow mats include:

- Sustainability: Bamboo is a highly renewable resource, making it an environmentally conscious choice.
Why Vegbed Bamboo Grow Mats are the Best Alternative to AeroGarden’s Felt Medium
AeroGarden’s felt medium had its strengths, but Vegbed bamboo grow mats offer unique advantages that make them the best available alternative:
-
Balanced Water Retention and Airflow
Vegbed mats maintain a balance between moisture retention and airflow, which is crucial for healthy microgreen growth. They hold enough water to keep your plants hydrated without creating a waterlogged environment that can cause root rot or mold. -
Eco-Friendly and Biodegradable
Vegbed bamboo mats are 100% biodegradable and made from sustainably sourced bamboo fibers. This makes them a better long-term option for eco-conscious gardeners. -
Customizable and Easy to Cut
Though Vegbed mats come in the standard 10x20 size, they can easily be cut to fit any growing tray. This makes them compatible with various gardening setups, whether you’re using AeroGarden systems or other trays. For bulk orders, Vegbed can also customize the mat sizes to fit specific requirements, providing even more flexibility for gardeners. -
Hassle-Free Setup
Our bamboo grow mats are incredibly easy to use. Just place the mat in your grow tray, hydrate it, and sow your seeds. Whether you're using them with AeroGarden or another growing system, transitioning to Vegbed mats is seamless.
How to Transition from AeroGarden Felt to Vegbed Bamboo Grow Mats
Making the switch to Vegbed mats is straightforward. Here’s a simple guide to ensure a smooth transition for AeroGarden users:
-
Prepare Your Tray
Vegbed mats are designed to fit standard 10x20 trays but can be easily cut to size if your AeroGarden tray is smaller or differently shaped. Just trim the mat to fit your tray. -
Hydrate the Mat
Lightly mist the mat with water until it’s evenly moist. The mat’s excellent water retention ensures that your seeds will remain hydrated throughout the growing process. -
Sow Your Seeds
Spread your microgreen seeds evenly across the mat, ensuring good coverage. Vegbed mats create the ideal environment for fast and uniform germination. -
Maintain Moisture
Check your tray regularly to ensure the mat stays moist but not waterlogged. Thanks to the mat’s moisture retention capabilities, you won’t need to water as frequently as with some other mediums. -
Harvesting
Once your microgreens are ready to harvest, simply cut them just above the mat's surface. Cleanup is easy, with no soil or felt residue left behind.
