Most Helpful Review
"This is about the Burpee Greenhouse Indoor Plant Starting Kit with 72 cells. The trays are very flexible, so be sure to have support when you move them (I used cookie sheets which worked fine). I started them in my bathroom with a good grow light and that worked fine. The down sides: (1) the instructions are poor, but luckily most of the procedure is obvious even to a construction ignoramus such as myself; (2) the dome is rather low and mine came with an unfixable downward sway towards the middle, moreover it is so flexible/flimsy that I could not prop it up (tried popsicle sticks); my snowpeas hit the dome well before they were ready to be hardened off and transplanted into my garden room; (3) transplanting was hard as the pellets are not enclosed in mesh (unlike the Jiffy brand); (4) transplanting was messier than with the Jiffy brand. All in all, this was not competitive with the comparable Jiffy brand set, but my seeds did start and the snowpeas transplanted well. The lettuce and rocket had more trouble than in the mesh-enclose pellets."

I have a few of these and love that it comes with everything. Tip is to use hot water as it absorbs quickly. My seeds are growing great.patricia fischer

Worked just like it should! Easy to plant seeds and keep a good moisture level without overwatering. Setting it on a heat mat helped increase germination, increasing growth rate.jt

Why did you pick this product vs others?:Before I purchased, I read reviews on similar items and thought I would give this one a try. When it came, I only used half the tray with the soil tablets filled it with warm water and they expanded in seconds. I decided to try half just in case because some reviews said they did not have results. You have to make sure the tablets are standing up right to expand correctly. Within minutes I was planting seeds, 48 hours later the seeds sprouted with the clear lid covering the whole time and the soil moist. It’s been about a week and the seedlings are beautiful! After I saw the progress, I started the second half and those also are sprouting now. I’m very happy with this purchase and planning to transplant these babies soon. I kept them on a sunny counter top the entire time. Once your plants are sprouting I’d suggest uncovering so the soil doesn’t develop a mold/mildew. I used a spray misting bottle to water the seedlings to prevent overwatering. Again, I’m very happy with this purchase and planning to continue to use over and over.What Customers Talk About
