Burpee 72-Cell Self-Watering Greenhouse Kit, Indoor Growing System, Comes with 72 pellets

So I'm new to all aspects gardening. I read the instructions, scanned the thingy to watch the video, and started pouring the water. A bunch of the little soil disks had flipped around in cells but I didn't think it would make a difference. Once you pour the water in the soil turns to mush right? Absolutely not. They expanded horizontally and were jammed into the bottom of each cell so tight that I had to pick away at them with a small sharp knife. It took well over an hour and I got dirt everywhere. So yea…please make sure that the soil disks are upright in each cell. While this might seem like common sense to most people I'm sure enthusiastic gardeners with ADD/ADHD will save themselves a lot of grief lol. BUT…once it was all sorted out it worked great. Many of my seeds germinated over night. I planted zinnias, asters, marigolds, baby blue eucalyptus, and some dahlias and they are all doing great.

great starter kit for veggies

Tried this out just to compare it to my jiffy seed starting kit. I absolutely love this set. Easiest to remove for transplant of all the trays I have tried. Will buy these from now on!

Been buying this brand for many years and have never been unsatisfied

The way the instructions on the packaging show the assembly does NOT work. The how to video from Burpee is no longer available. We made it work, but not the way it was supposed to. Just like a normal seed tray. Definitely not worth the extra money!

I was really excited about trying to grow flowers from seed. I bought seeds from Burpee as well as the self-watering tray and followed the directions to the letter. Only handful sprouted and then later died. Not what I would expect from Burpee. Buyer beware.

New to seed starting. This seemed like a cant fail way to do it. Disappointed. Flimsy materials. It might last through next season. Hard to regulate soil temp because so high above heat mat. I think it made the cells too wet.

Plastic trays and matts did sprout my seeds, but very sporadic success depending on type of plant. the dirt blocks that come with it don't work. have to Buy your own dirt.

My order of over $60 was a complete failure. Nothing came up. I followed the instructions to the letter. The pellets never resolved or filled the planting cup. Very disappointed.

as soon as i added water little flies began hatching , my house is now full of these this pests
