Why do skilled gardeners like to grow their vegetables from seed? The incredible selection, for one thing — it’s a treat to discover and taste new varieties of your favorites. Seeds are inexpensive, and home-tended seedlings are often healthier than store-bought ones. What gardeners enjoy most is the satisfaction of tending a garden from the first tiny seedling to delicious harvest.
Our Garden Starter System was designed for simplicity, so that even beginning gardeners will be successful. It grows twelve large seedlings at a time — enough to start a plentiful kitchen garden. Biodegradable Cowpots hold plants until they’re mature enough to go into the garden, while a self-watering tray provides just the right moisture to seedlings, avoiding over- and under-watering. Seedlings will thrive in the glow of the energy-efficient, full spectrum T-5 Grow Light, so bright that plants can’t tell it from sunlight.
We also include 12 quarts of our exclusive Organic Seedstarting Mix, fortified with compost to grow stocky, well-rooted seedlings. In short, this kit includes everything you need to succeed. If you’ve ever considered starting plants from seed — or if you’ve tried before without luck — give our easy system a try

Comments about Garden Starter Kit:
Just got it. Assembly was easy - good instructions and well engineered. I immediately planted lettuce because it is getting hot here in the Phoenix area and our garden lettuce is bolting. I am hoping to grow all my summer lettuce indoors. And I plan to start vegetables and flowers - will update this as time goes by.
It looks nice, too.

Comments about Garden Starter Kit:
I bought this for my daughter who is just beginning to garden using seeds started inside ...she loves it! She has started 8 flats of seeds using a rotating method and she is ready to plant her first garden in her new home. The assembly directions were easily read and the plant stand with light is perfect. I think I will order one for myself!

Comments about Garden Starter Kit:
Could use instructions on using the capillary mat - I did figure it out after a bit. This unit was more expensive than one I had seen at a garden center, but, in my mind, worth the extra as it quite a bit more sturdy and attractive.
Pros
- Easy To Use
Cons
- Difficult To Assemble
Best Uses
- Indoors
- Late winter seed starting
Comments about Garden Starter Kit:
My luck has not always been great when starting plants from seeds, but with this kit, EVERYTHING sprouted! The seedlings love the light, and I have more parsley, swiss chard, and fennel than I know what to do with. Setting up the light and getting the hood to hang level takes a little patience, but is not difficult. A great item, I'm sure I will buy more in future. Execllent for all houseplants, especially if your home doesn't get good or sufficient daylight.
Pros
- Easy To Use
- Lightweight
Cons
- More directions helpful

Comments about Garden Starter Kit:
Early days, but seeds are coming up and it fits on my kitchen counter. I used smaller pots to start and will take the best starts to transplant to larger pots. I have no complaints so far.

Comments about Garden Starter Kit:
I tried to start flower seeds in a kit I purchased in the garden center of a discount store. The seeds sprouted, grew very thin, fell over and died. I have started flower seeds with the items provided in the starter kit, placed them under the light and the plants are beautiful, thickening up, getting the right amount of moisture automatically and i'm happy. I'll be able to plant plants and enjoy the beautiful blossoms before I would have if I just planted the seeds.
The only negative thing I can say about the grow light is that it is a little flimsy and the frame the lights are on slides about a bit. I have almost dumped the whole shebang a time or two just trying to turn the tray about. Other than that, I am enjoying the product.
Pros
- Easy to assemble
- Easy To Use
- Works great
Cons
Best Uses

Comments about Garden Starter Kit:
I have used this lighting system to start my tomatoes and my plants all look strong and healthy. It is very easy to use and I bought a timer separately so that I don't have to remember to turn lights on and off. The watering system works great and I only have to add water every few days. I have also grown lettuce and arugula under these lights and it grew fantastically well also. May seem like an expensive product but I'm sure it will pay for itself over time since I will never again have to buy salad greens from a store as I'll have my own fresh, organic supply growing indoors all year round!
Pros
- Lightweight
Cons
- Flimsy
Best Uses
- Seed starter indoors
Comments about Garden Starter Kit:
I just put my starter kit together...the connector does not fit around the bar as instructed, there are no directions for the felt bottom/or capillary kit....I hope the seeds do well once planted.
