  • Great Item
The Burpee Self-Watering Seed Starter Tray with 72 cells is an excellent choice for gardening enthusiasts. The self-watering feature is incredibly convenient, ensuring that seeds receive consistent moisture without constant monitoring. The 72 cells are perfectly sized for starting a large variety of plants, making it ideal for both beginner and experienced gardeners. The tray is well-constructed and durable, with clear, easy-to-use instructions. I’ve noticed faster germination and healthier seedlings since using this tray. It’s a fantastic tool for efficient seed starting and highly recommended for anyone looking to streamline their planting process. ... show more

  • seems I was wrong and the system is fine and I ordered another pair.
The lid does cause the humidity to increase and the system is fine...good choice...I earlier had a negative comment.

  • Works great, but not durable at all
I had great results using this product - the seeds germinated heathier and faster than with any other seed started, and I credit that to the ingenuous self-watering system. However, the plastic material is extremely thin and fragile - just being exposed to the outside temperature (not in the direct sun) it deformed and became non-reusable. I had to buy a regular plastic planter to replace the original one so I can reuse it, and it's working well. Another thing to consider when buying: They have smaller planters - with 36 and I believe 18 cells, which I should have chosen since I'll never plant seeds at once. ... show more

  • Easy way to start seeds indoors
I try to start seeds inside every year, but this is the first year using this system. I needed something easier than I have used in the past. It was an easy set up, but I would pay attention to which way the pellets are laying when you add the water. If they are laying sideways instead of up and down, the expand too much and press against the walls of their cell. I had to keep flipping them in the correct direction. With adding the water to the pellets, evening out the top of the dirt, adding seeds and placing the clear cover on the unit, set up probably took about 25 minutes per tray. Now that they have been under lights for a few days, the self watering seems to be working very well and I already have seedlings popping through. ... show more

  • Does the trick
I loved how many cells this tray has and that it is easy to set up and get started. One thing i didnt like is that many of the soil pods were sideways in the cells and when wet they were hard to break up. Standing them all up before watering will fix this! Also being plastic cells makes it hard to pop out your seedling plants but overall it got the job done. ... show more

  • So many seedlings grew!
I had great success with this. I scattered a package of black eyed susan seeds on the right side, and purple coneflower seeds on the left. Then I realized that black eyed susan are supposed to be cold-stratified, so I removed all of the seeds I could see, put them in the fridge, and put yarrow seeds in the cells instead. Much to my surprise, 50+ black eyed susan seeds sprouted even without the cold stratification! The purple cornflower were slower, but I ended up with about 10 of those and about 13 yarrow. The only con I encountered was that it is quite difficult to get the seedlings out of the cells when transplanting. They don’t “pop” out as described, and the starting mix crumbles everywhere. My finger often got stuck in the little holes trying to remove seedlings which hurt. ... show more

  • A success!
I had a lot of success with this kit. I’ve read some of the other poor reviews, and it is quite clear that many people who raged this poorly did not read the directions. “Lid didn’t fit”?: the directions say the lid is meant to gently rest onto of the trays, NOT snap on. “Dirt got stuck sideways”: directions say to make sure the flat sides of the pellets are down. If you follow the directions, keep 1/4-1” water in the tray, water mat black side up, you’ll have a lot of success! My flower seeds sprouted in FOUR DAYS. (I’m growing cosmos, dahlias, abs bachelor buttons, so I can’t speak to veggie seeds). This kit is super convenient, and the reason I chose it was because I will be going out of town for a few days before I plant outside and I was trying to find a way to make sure the seeds get watered. Problem solved! ... show more

  • Self-watering mat didn't work properly
I purchased another one of these the past spring ('24) and I was absolutely disappointed in it's performance. It never kept the seedlings watered. Ever. It was a completely waste of my time and money. I thought it was working until the seeds sprouted and I removed the humidity cover. The drying out began within 24 hours of removing that cover and try as I might, I never could get the mat to perform. I believe the mat I received this past spring was either very old, or it was a returned kit that someone used and then quickly sent back. If dirt gets on the self-watering mat it causes blockages in the "capillaries" which shuts down the flow of H2O. I'm not certain what happened with the mat but this year's mat never worked, at all. My seedlings went weak and the resulting plants were not able to mature properly in the garden. You aren't supposed to pour water onto the seedlings, nor pour water onto the mat, because it says you can damage the mat. Well, what is a person supposed to do when the mat is defective from the start? I couldn't return it because the date had passed or I would have asked Amazon to replace it. I purchased two of these in winter '23 and they performed perfectly. I had excellent starters which become tall, healthy plants when set into the garden. This year was a disaster. ... show more
