Bought because it claimed to have everything I needed to start my seeds. Well, it did and my seeds are up and looking good. Great for someone who does not have the time to run around and get each item. Also, it is reusable and plenty of potting mix to last a long time!

Comments about Beginner Seedstarter Kit:

Kits was easy to transport to my garden area on sunny days and the seeds sprouted so fast I was shocked. The news paper "pot" maker worked great! I planted different herb & vegetable seeds in every opening and have plants growing in all but two. Take them out to my garden on sunny days and place them under kitchen counter light at night. We are amazed & can hardly wait until chance of freeze is over so they can be planted in our garden.

Comments about Beginner Seedstarter Kit:

I bought this package deal to see how a novice gardner might do with it. So far after 5 days, I have 2 sprouts coming up! I have 11 different kinds of veggie/fruit seeds I'm working with. Since I have very little gardening experience, I was hoping these would be full proof and so far, it appears they are. Will post back after plants progess to give an update.These do seem a bit flimsy to me, especially for the price. But if you are careful with them they can easily be re-used. I am hoping they produce strong enough plants that can be transplanted outside after the frost is gone.Will move onto flowers next. I'm so excited these are so easy to use and don't require any thought or skill. Simply put it together, fill the base with water, add the seeding mix provided, drop in a seed, cover with more dirt and put the lid on and let sit. It doesn't get any easier than that!

First Impressions
By Country CluckVerified Purchaser from Portland, OR on 1/27/2010
Pros:
Easy To Store, Easy To Use, Lightweight
Describe Yourself:
Midrange Shopper
Bottom Line:
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Comments about Beginner Seedstarter Kit:

At first glance my husband was a bit disapointed to be honest. He thought they were made of plastic when he bought them. After putting them together and starting seeds this weekend he was really impressed as was I. They are actualy quite durable and not at all flimsy. They should last for years as long as you are not overly rough with them. I am really impressed especially since my cabbage seeds have sprouted after 3 days. Definetly would buy again.
