Grow your own garden plants from seed in a compact space with our Garden Starter Kit. Includes a sturdy aluminum stand, full-spectrum lights, self-watering tray, easy-to-plant Cowpots and our exclusive organic seedstarting mix. The garden is just 25-1/2" L x 14" W x 47" H, so it takes up very little floor space — just over 2 square feet. It's easy to store, too — just roll it into a closet. Your seedlings will thrive in the glow of the bright, energy-efficient T-5 lights — much brighter than "shop lights" — and the fixtures easily adjust up and down to accommodate plant growth. The self-watering tray provides just the right moisture to seedlings, avoiding over- and under-watering for stress-free plant growth. And when it’s time to head out to the garden, you can plant your seedlings pots and all; the biodegradable Cowpots supply nutrients to the plants as they break down in the soil.

- Hard To Put Together
Best Uses

Comments about Compact 2-Tier Garden Starter Kit:
Although it took forever to put this thing together I would be okay with that except it is not designed well. The chain that holds the lights has to be threaded through a hole that doesn't easily come out the other end. They suggest you tie the chain to a twist tie but then it is too big to go through the hole they designed. All in all it was a total waste of money. I won't be able to really use the lights well unless I can rest them on something that sits above the plants. So sorry I bought this.
Pros
- Can't Wait To Use It
- Effective
- Went Together Easily
Cons
- Power Cords Tilt Lamps
Best Uses
- Seedstarting
Comments about Compact 2-Tier Garden Starter Kit:
Even though the power cords tilt the lamps, that really won't be an issue once it's in use. Can either weight the lamps to counteract the weight of the cords or drape/tape the cords onto the frame.
Since my house doesn't get the proper amount of sun in any of the windows this product will be perfect.

Comments about Compact 2-Tier Garden Starter Kit:
I wanted to have fresh herbs in the winter, and start my garden plants spring through summer. I would have preferred the 5 tier, but $$$ ruled. I wish the light fixture was a little sturdier. The plug does fall out occasionally as well as the chain that adjust the light. Minor inconvenience.

- Difficult To Assemble
Best Uses
Comments about Compact 2-Tier Garden Starter Kit:
As many reviewers have said, the assembly is not easy. Two of us worked together and thought we were carefully following the instructions, but turned out there was a critical piece of missing information. After being stumped for about 15 minutes about what could be wrong, we called the customer service line [...] Total assembly time was bout 2.25 hours. And now that it is set up, it is working great; the seedlings are coming along nicely. My only con about the operating product is that I completely filled the shelf space with veggies, and the ones on the outside don't really get as much light as they should--it would be better to have the lights set a bit wider. Overall, loving it!

Comments about Compact 2-Tier Garden Starter Kit:
It took Three of us about 1.5 hours to put this together. It was like a game. The instructions were ok, but it was a project. If it had been me by myself, I would have given up and sent it back. Once up and running, i used the kit and planted the provided pots with the great provided potting soil, and set the baby up. I am very pleased with the operational use. There were NO INSTRUCTIONs past assembly, which would have been nice (ie: How far to keep the lights above the seedlings, when to plant, to cover the pots with saran wrap, etc...)- that would have been nice but I guess they think we know what we are doing. Glad I have it, and glad I have great friends who helped, looking forwrd to an awesome garden!

Comments about Compact 2-Tier Garden Starter Kit:
Nice stand, but the instructions are horrible. The drawings don't show the holes and don't accurately describe the assembly process. Had to take it apart to correct, even though I tried to line up the holes as shown on the drawing. A for the product, F for the instructions!

Use lights to grow an abundance of stocky, green seedlings or pamper indoor flowering plants. The right lights will keep them blooming almost year-round. -
When you grow seedlings under our lights, you won't see the usual signs of light starvation. Instead, you'll notice straight, stocky seedlings with well-developed leaves and root systems.
