Burpee SuperSeed Seed Starting Tray

The Burpee SuperSeed Seed Starting Tray is a 36-cell reusable tray designed to simplify the seed germination process for vegetables, flowers, and herbs. Ideal for indoor gardening, this tray aims to provide an organized and efficient way to start seedlings. I used it to germinate a variety of seeds, including tomatoes, herbs, and marigolds, to assess its usability, durability, and performance. Pros: ✅ Reusable Design: The sturdy construction ensures the tray can be reused for multiple planting seasons. ✅ Optimized Cell Size: Each cell is spacious enough to support healthy root development for seedlings. ✅ Efficient Watering System: The tray design allows for easy drainage and helps prevent overwatering, promoting successful germination. ✅ Compact and Organized: Perfect for indoor setups, fitting conveniently on windowsills or small gardening shelves. ✅ Clear Lid Included: The included dome lid helps retain moisture and warmth, creating an ideal environment for germination. Cons: ❌ Lid Durability: The plastic lid feels thinner and less sturdy compared to the tray, requiring careful handling. ❌ No Labels Included: A lack of labels or markers for cell identification means you’ll need to organize seedlings manually. Performance and Usability: The Burpee SuperSeed tray performed excellently during testing, providing consistent germination rates across different types of seeds. The drainage holes in each cell were particularly effective in preventing waterlogging, while the clear dome lid helped maintain humidity levels. Cleaning the tray was straightforward, making it a practical reusable solution for gardeners. However, the thin lid requires extra care to avoid cracking. Comparison: Compared to single-use seed trays, the Burpee SuperSeed tray stands out for its durability and eco-friendly design. While some reusable trays in this price range lack clear lids or have smaller cells, this model strikes a good balance between functionality and size. Competitors offering similar features may charge more, making this tray a cost-effective option for home gardeners. Who Is This For?: This seed starter tray is ideal for beginner and experienced gardeners who want a reliable and reusable solution for starting seeds indoors. It’s perfect for those growing vegetables, flowers, or herbs in limited space or preparing seedlings for transplanting into a larger garden. Conclusion: The Burpee SuperSeed Seed Starting Tray is a high-quality, reusable tool that simplifies the germination process and supports healthy seedling growth. While the lid could be sturdier and labels would add convenience, the tray’s overall performance and ease of use make it a valuable addition to any gardener’s toolkit.

I should have bought these YEARS ago. So clean and easy to use. Easy to track what I planted. Can be sanitized and re-used. Consistent size and shape makes it easier to organize my indoor lighting set up for my seedling - before we set them out...

What a great product! Fit those of us tired of having cracked trays and cells, this product both gives the grower greater flexibility under the lights (when it comes time to water or rotate the trays), and it pops out the soil with ease and cleaning can be thorough. FYI it does well in top shelf of dishwasher on gentle cycle.

I decided to try one of the XL windowsill models. I am concerned about potential breakage. I would also prefer that the grooves in the bottom of the outer tray were deeper (to hold any excess water). All-in-all, it's worth a trial.

This is the second or third time I have purchased these. I like that they are reusable and it's really easy to remove the seedlings from the tray when ready. I want to be more and more sustainable in my gardening, and I feel better being able to reuse these rather than use a throwaway or something that doesn't hold up. These are made with premium materials. You can use the top as a humidity dome, or put it underneath for bottom watering (my preference).

This little star kitis just the right side to start your little seedlings it is durable. It has dream and holes so just the right amount of water stays in the plan has needed the rest of it drains off in the bottom it doesn’t make your roots soggy very good quality, good thickness and white so that you can reuse it again and again.

They work if you already have a greenhouse or its already super warm out. These things dont have any sort of dome or lid so it doesnt keep heat or moisture in. In other words, just sitting these on the kitchen table or in a window wont work all that well without significant effort or modification. Won't buy these again.

Great seed starting tray, I always struggled to get starts out of those thin plastic disposable trays you can pick up at a big box store, the flexible material at the bottom of the cells and the general shape of the cells make extraction really easy. They've held up through two rounds of starts now and seem like they'll be good for many more. Cleaning them after use probably took 10 minutes, it's not as simple as rinsing and calling it a day unfortunately but hey, less time than it takes to run down to the store and buy another disposable tray so I'm happy with it. In terms of how well starts actually do, I can't say there was a noticeable difference from disposable trays. Getting them out without damaging roots was a help, but for actually germinating seeds ehh, it's not really about the tray. Note that there is no included humidity dome, but you could probably drop any kind of plastic cover on there easy enough or just stay consistent with watering.

They are the easiest to use.

isnt as marketed

I can't tell much more about it. It was broken when delivered and could never use it. I was offered a partial discount that covered half the amount I paid. Very flimsy and doubt it is really dishwasher safe.

They were both broken and cracked
