Amazing Seed Starter Kit,
February 27, 2006 Submitted byTallyGardener from Tallahassee, FL
"This seed starting kit is truly amazing. I got the kit on a Friday planted vegetable seeds that day and by the following Monday half of my seeds had already sprouted. That's just 3 DAYS!"

Functionally Great/Quality Stinks,
June 12, 2009 Submitted byShaun from Central IL
"The kit started my seeds wonderfully. I even kept them in the containers for quite a long time. However, I'm VERY dissapointed in the quality of the containers. The base is very flimsy requiring 2 hands and even disbursement of cells in it. And the cell packs were so thin that they tore when I got my seedlings out. I was really hoping to use these for several years, not just one."

Great at some things; not at others,
April 8, 2009 Submitted bypcthiker from Oakland, CA
"The wicking mat does its job extraordinarily well. And I solved the flimsiness issue by putting a tray under the kit. The mat pulls up exactly the right amount of water to keep my seedlings growing well. When I take the plants out of the little cells and move them to 3" peat pots, I leave those pots on the mat, and get similar results. The big problem I had is with the growing pellets. They expand too much for the cells, giving me some difficulty when trying to extract the seedlings. I will be using starting soil after the first year's use. Overall I like the kit well enough that I ordered a second one."

I would recommend this to any beginner,
February 25, 2009 Submitted byiceenobugs from Pasco, Wa
"Why would I recommend this to any beginner? I have tried many ways to start seeds. I'm an admitted killer of seeds. I purchased this system last year in hopes of changing that image. This is the first seed starting system that has actually worked for me! I liked it so well, I bought 3 more, and plan to buy two more this year. All seeds sprouted in alloted time or sooner and THRIVED! I noticed however, the instructions leave a lot to be desired. It doesn't tell you about the proper placement of the pellets. If the pellets are not placed correctly (flat side down) in the cells before adding water, take care not to move pellets when pouring or they will become hopelessly impossible to remove, unless you cut them out, after they expand in the cells. It's all in the placement of the pellets. The cover, should never be used unless in extreme dry conditions otherwise, the soiless growing medium will certainly mold from too much trapped moisture. Most people, do not know how simple growing with soiless mediums can be. I highly recommend checking into it before starting, so you won't be frustrated. Good Luck."

Hard to remove the plants,
January 31, 2009 Submitted byErinA from Charleston, SC
"I purchased this last year. While the greenhouse was great for starting seeds, I found it almost impossible to get the seedlings out of the system to plant them outside. I had to destroy the container to get them out without killing the plants. It did everything it said it would and if the planting containers were re-designed, I would buy it again."

A Waste of Money,
June 5, 2008 Submitted byGunnyW from Sylvester, Ga
"I purchased the kit this year (2008). I have yet to get a single plant to live long enough to plant. About half the seedlings were killed off by mold. The other half died before they were strong enough to plant outdoors. I was disappointed with the quality of materials used to make the kit, too thin and flimsy. I will not be ordering this kit again, or reusing it next year. Waste of my time and money."

bad purchase choice,
May 27, 2008 Submitted byBrigitte from St. Paul, MN
"The "dirt" matter produced a fair amount of mold on my new seedlings. Yes, they sprouted like they were supposed to, but they were then killed off by mold. I followed the instructions to a T. Even with no cover on top, the mold continues to grow."

Needs Improving,
May 17, 2007 Submitted byAnonymous
"I purchased 3 complete kits and filled the cells with Burpee seeds as instructed. I found the cells to be too small & way too thin and they cracked or folded making removal of transplants difficult if not destructive. Concept is good but product specs need improving.."

Good for growing plants from seeds,
May 15, 2007 Submitted byBrentInOakParkIL
"I bought the greenhouse kit in spring 2006 and used it to grow tomato plants from seeds. It works well but the plastic should be thicker. Some of the plant wells have cracked on the side."

"A complete kit that is easy to use. Has a self watering pad that goes under the tray. I set it up 2 weeks ago and have not added water yet. All seeds have sprouted. Very happy."
