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. Height of lights can be easily adjusted as plants grow.
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 Compact Tabletop Garden Starter Kit:
I've always wanted to start seeds indoors but previous efforts yielded leggy seedlings. With this tabletop kit, the seedlings are robust and beautiful!!

Comments about Compact Tabletop Garden Starter Kit:
The light output is fantastic, but there are a few design shortcomings that others have mentioned and I have some ideas for easy fixes that work well for me! Use black duck tape to force the electrical cord to the point where it will NOT cause the relector to dip by taping the cord to the vertical post. Next, I found that if I similarly tape the on/off switch in the same manner, it is MUCH easier to use. Another complaint is the joining cable for the 2 bulbs. This cable is designed to go to the OUTSIDE of the vertical post. Try to fit it on the opposite side if it doesn't work. One side is definitely better than the other! It works great with a timer, too.

Easy to assemble tabletop growlight fits perfectly on a small table. Miniature and semi-miniature african violets seem to be thriving (have had set up about three weeks). A very good way to brighten a dark corner. Looking forward to getting a second unit for either small orchids and/or starting seedlings for next year's garden. Nothing negative to report at this time. Quite happy with this product.

I am new to growing so I am using for indoor seed starting. Made the mistake the first time & did not get seedlings in light quick enough. This time I did not make the same mistake & the difference really shows.

Comments about Compact Tabletop Garden Starter Kit:
I can't believe I put this grower together quickly. I use heirloom seeds and this is the best for starting my plants on a small kitchen counter. It was so easy to maintain and fun to watch each day when I came home from work.

Comments about Compact Tabletop Garden Starter Kit:
I enjoy watching the plants grow from seed and it is good to get a jump start on spring. My tomato seed grew quickly into nice plants. We now have them in the garden. I also plan to grow lettuce and herbs under the lights to use next winter.

Comments about Compact Tabletop Garden Starter Kit:
I am able to grow things that I cannot find for sale in my area. I can grow 4 plants instead of having to buy 6 in a flat.I can grow plants that require a longer growing season than Northern New England traditionally allows us. Plus I can actually watch things grow in March when it seems that winter will never go away!!!!

The system for keeping the plants watered is excellent. It is easy to fill and maintains a constant level of moisture without overwatering. I would definitely recommend this to a friend.

Comments about Compact Tabletop Garden Starter Kit:
In the past I have always had to fill any sunny windowsill with pots, but with this propagator I am able to put it in a rather dark corner and know that the plants are getting enough light. I had no great problems putting it together even though I'm not a handywoman. And it is such a thrill to see the wavery little shoots emerging. I would have appreciated a little more growing information in the instructions.

Comments about Compact Tabletop Garden Starter Kit:
I bought one of these last year and used it to start herb, flower, and vegetable seeds before the growing season. I wanted more space, so this year I bought another one, and now I also grow greens and herbs year-round. I also start tender bulbs with this kit. The water tray has sufficient capacity that I can go away for up to a week and everything is sufficiently watered. I have the plugs on a timer, so I easily control the amount of light the plants get. This product is outstanding.
