5 Stars great for kids
I got one of these for my grandson and he has really enjoyed it. He’s 11 years old and we hope he’ll be a farmer like his grandpa. He’s a smart kid and enjoys growing from seed.
5 Stars Very complete kits and very nice
These kits are perfect for seed starting. Get them at the same price as Wal-mart seed starting kits, and these include all the black inserts ALONG WITH a bag of seed starting mix inside! Very nice!
5 Stars Don’t waste your time on the Burpee kit! This is the best!
I decided to grow my own garden plants this year, so I purchased this kit at Walmart. (It’s funny, I thought it was named “Jiffy” because that’s on top of the package.) Anyway, I am eminently pleased with this set, and here’s why:
1. It’s easy to use. Just add the warm water and wait until the little peat bags have expanded. Two words of advice about this:
a. Make sure the peat bags are in the cells properly, laying flat. If not, it gets a bit messy, but it’s not the end of the world. Just try to straighten it out later.
b. Don’t use hot tap water. When you use warm or hot water from the tap it leaches the lead out of the seals in your plumbing. So use water that has been heated by another source. Why grow organic cucumbers if you add lead to the starting mixture?
2. You can reuse it. The peat bags lift easily out of the cells (well, you might have to untangle some roots, but that’s gardening). Jiffy, or whoever they are, sell the peat bags separately.
3. It’s easy to water. You can gently remove one of the peat bags and pour the water into that cell, than lift up the edges of the greenhouse so as to allow the water to flow all around every peat bag.
4. It’s cheaper than the Burpee (which does not have advantage #2 and #3). Burpee does offer little seed markers, but I have not yet found a writing utensil that can make a mark on them, which sort of defeats the purpose.
I also, sorry, Amazon, recommend you buy this set locally. It’s much cheaper than purchasing it online. But if you can’t get it locally - hey, it’s a great little kit and still not too expensive!
