16 customers mention4 positive12 negative

Customers are dissatisfied with the size of the seed starter kit. They mention that the cells are too small, the seeding trays have poor fit, and the lid did not fit. The kit is easy to use, but it takes up space and is compressed by width and not height. It can be a bit unwieldy.

Customers are dissatisfied with the lid of the seed and plant container. They mention that it doesn't sit on the top well, it wouldn't close over the trays, and it flops from side to side.

"...the lid doesn’t sit on the top well. It falls down, falls off, and is a royal pain, but it works when you place it just right and don’t touch it...." Read more

"...I tried the self watering feature however the lid did not close...." Read more

"...The lid just flops from side to side and doesn't lock or click into place. Otherwise haven't watered in a week and my seeds are up!" Read more

"...with the self watering mat in place and planter trays the lid does not fit over the edges of the planter trays and does not meet up with the bottom..." Read more

You still have to water!
4 Stars
You still have to water!
If it's the self-watering feature you're after, I'm not sure it's worth paying more for. That said, the trays are as you would expect them to be.Set-up is pretty simple and doesn't require anything special. Place the water membrane on the riser, seed cells on top of the membrane (make sure the plugs are flat side down), add warm water, sow seeds, and your done.* Do not assume you don't need to check your starts for water. I've watered many more times than I should have needed to based upon packaging.Pros:Arrived on timePackaged securelyCons:Self- watering feature isn't something I'd pay extra for again.

5.0 out of 5 stars Easy to use, produces quick results!
Reviewed in the United States on April 8, 2019
I was shocked how well this system worked. I had mild difficultly when watering the pellets getting them to open up so I could stir the dirt to plant, but truly just slight difficulty. I followed The directions exactly, planted the seeds, and covered with the plastic lid. Those photos are 12 days after planting! I kept the tray in a semi-sunny window seat (I live In Ohio so it’s only sunny half the time if we are lucky) so again, very impressed!

Worked great 😎. I had no issues with the coir pellets (I used warm water as per instructions) and my seeds started sprouting a few days later. I like that they include 2 paper grids so you can write down which plants are in which cell. I will definitely keep the kit and purchase the coir pellets again next year.
