Product Description
Guaranteed to grow bigger and better seedlings every time. Developed by the experts at Burpee, our new, all-in-one kit has everything you need to start growing seeds just like the professionals. Patent pending. Easy to set up and requires less maintenance and watering than other systems. Our Ultimate Growing System features state-of-the-art design that guarantees your seed starting success: - Transparent cover retains heat and moisture to get your seeds up and growing fast. Advanced capillary mat draws water from the bottom tray reservoir and feeds it to each cell evenly. Every cell has a bottom opening that pulls nourishing water to your seedlings. Roots don't stick to mat as in other systems. Burpees Super-Soil Cubes retain more water than ordinary peat and feed more nutrients to your sprouting seeds. Bottom tray holds plenty of water so your seeds stay healthy and you don't have to water as often. Big 72-cell tray makes it easy to start all your seeds in one unit. Reusable - lasts for years!
Each complete kit includes:
Watering tray
72-cell plant tray
Self-watering mat
72 Burpee Super-Soil Cubes
Bonus 12 plant markers

 not useful enough for purchace June 13, 2010
Donald Revell (montana)
cheap construction allowing one time use only medium low germination rates. standing watter breeds seed born pests and dieseases!
good but not recommended May 27, 2010

The growing process was great but once you take them out you either damage the roots or all the soil comes apart and doesn't matter how damp it is.
 Been there, done that May 14, 2010

Having gone through a complete cycle:
I successfully grew many plants - tomatoes, peppers and flowers.
I built my own lighting system which was better and cheaper. All parts are available on-line.
I had no problem with fungi. When a fungus infection appeared, I allowed more air into the system.
The plastic parts are flimsy. Forget about multi-year use.
What I recommend:
build your own lighting system. Don't forget that the height has to be adjusted.
use peat pots in a plastic tray instead of the flimsy plastic tray provided by Burpee.
use potting soil instead of the pellets provided by Burpee.
use a wet towel in the bottom of the tray to keep the peat pots moist.
after the plants start to grow, take them outside on warm days to get better light.
If you're not able to take care of your seedlings, buy plants from your local nursery instead of trying to grow plants from seed. BUT, if you have the time and the patience, growing from seed - getting the varieties you want, is worth the time and effort.
 Very disappointed May 3, 2010

While the seeds germinated, they took longer than other systems and fewer took root. However, the big downside is getting the seedlings out. What's the point if you destroy everything before transplanting?
cheap plastic-collapsed the 2nd day April 13, 2010

I thought this was a wonderful idea, but the plastic was so cheap that it collapsed the 2nd day after I planted my seeds. I would not ever buy this item again. Very dissapointing for a Burpee item-you would expect higher quailty from them.
