Burpee 72 Cell Self Watering Seed Starting Kit

I absolutely love this seed tray. I actually bought one at a store and then bought a second one online. I will definitely get this again!

I am so happy with this tray! It has made things so easy for me. There was one batch of seeds I wanted to get started when things were all still frozen up where I live. So not having to get my own soil and fill the cells was so handy. The "wicking" pad has kept all the cells moist and all my seeds have sprouted and are doing well. The other reviews that say their seeds didn't sprout....come on, you can't blame this product on that. Either you've got bunk seeds or you did something wrong. And as for the people having trouble getting the soil pellets to expand, if you follow the directions they work perfectly! Just keep adding more very warm water and "assist" apart as needed. I wouldn't use this for the rest of my seeds, as I don't mind doing the work myself when the weather warms up. But for when you need the convenience of something like this, it is entirely helpful! I highly recommend this tray. It is easy to use, sturdy, and effective.

An excelent product.

It’s a fantastic tool for efficient seed starting and highly recommended for anyone looking to streamline their planting process.

It was very easy to set up, and I had near all my seeds sprout. Watering part works well, too. The only issue for me was that the plastic is black, and there's not enough coir/soil to reach the top to be level with the top of a tray. As my seeds sprouted, many of them failed to thrive because the sun/light wasn't reaching the sprouts. It took me awhile to figure out what was happening. The tray was sitting on a kitchen windowsill, surrounded by 4 windows with at least 12 hrs of light, and about 4-6hrs of direct sun. There was enough sun/light coming in. But the seeds that were lower due to given coir level didn't get enough sun thru black plastic, and failed. Once I turned an overhead light on, it helped, and I was able to save some. The ones that made it past the tray's plastic to more light, were fine. So I would either get extra coir to make sure the soil level is to the top of a tray, and the sprouts get enough light. Or verify that there is a direct overhead light/sun getting inside the tray pockets. Or use the coir that comes with it, distribute it so it's level to the top, and not use all the pockets because you won't have enough to fill them all. Or get clear plastic trays. Overall the kit was useful for me being a beginner, but it came with the learning curve, and about half of lost sprouts.
