Burpee 36 Cell Self Watering Greenhouse Kit

If you follow the directions properly (available on website and easy to find) the results are amazing!!! Our seeds packet noted 40+++ days, within 5 short days = sprouting already!!! And healthy tall sprouts. We took the lid off bc the plants needed more room, no big deal. Still water in tray, soil is not overly moist but not yet dried out. I can’t understand the bad reviews…except that maybe instructions for starting seeds was not followed. We are pleasantly surprised and amazed by results. Highly recommend. Instructions available on Burpee website.

It grew a bunch of sprouts that I didn't plant. I put some golden poppy seeds in it but only 2 days later it sprouted some mystery sprouts.

Lid doesn’t fit at all. Pucks dried out almost immediately. Total waste of money and seeds. Do yourself a favor and buy a better brand somewhere else.

I love this product. It worked like a charm. I wish I had gotten the bigger tray. I see a lot of complaints about the lid. These trays are designed for inside germination so the lid doesn’t snap on. It just rests on the tray, still allowing the seeds to breathe. For the pellets, you have to pour the water slow so that they don’t flip on the sides, preventing it from “growing” and filling up the well. The self watering mat is also perfect. You can’t fill up the tray with water. Just fill to maybe 1/2 an inch and monitor every few days for replenishment. I’ll definitely be using these again in the future.

There were no directions as to how much water to add to the pucks. The self-watering tray did not distribute the water evenly. 20 hours after planting (dome placed on), the soil starting smelling like ammonia (lack of oxygen). The lid itself doesn't snap on, very flimsy. Hoping the seeds will still germinate (leaving the dome off).

I didn’t open the package until June when I started seeding the late summer crops. 1/3 of the trays were distorted, which would make it very difficult to remove seedings later. They looked like they were melted. Our temperature is still between 60-70 in late June. I seriously don’t know how this happened. This problem was the same for the two kits I ordered. The product is flimsy made of very cheap plastic. You get what you pay for couldnt hit any harder. With the money spend, I can still get two heavy duty smaller kits without the pads and supports that aren’t really necessary to begin with. If the quality is better, it would be a great product. I m just hoping it will survive least the remaining year.

The kid does not snap on to the lower portion. It just sets on top. In order to put outside, I had to weight the lid down to keep it from blowing away. Since it’s pretty flimsy, it doesn’t hold up to weight. I bought this in sale and even at a reduced price, it’s not worth the money.

Kit has been working excellent! Low maintenance and I’ve already gotten more seeds growing than I would have without it. Been only a week since I’ve planted my seeds too!

Worked great. All but 1 seedling came through. Overall, would definitely purchase again.

This growing system is absolutely fantastic! I was a little skeptical at first, but the self watering works like a charm!! Some of my plants came up in just two day. By one week every plant was growing really well! The self watering feature is amazing. Be sure to fill out your map so you can track you plant growth. Will definitely buy this again. (I paired this with the Burpee Adjustable Grow Light (purchased separately))
