    Comments about 3-Tier SunLite® Garden:

    We have only had this for a little over a month, but so far it has been great. We have started all of our seeds for our garden with it and have had great success so far. This winter we plan on growing herbs and possibly some lettuce in it.

    Besides coming late, the product has been wonderful. The seedlings are almost too big already (good thing that the planting season is upon us)! Really like the product. Hope it lasts for many years.

    Comments about 3-Tier SunLite® Garden:

    I was hesitant to purchase the 3 tier Sun lite garden due to the high cost. Well, am I glad I followed through. It is the best value for the money. It has made all the difference in my seed starting experience. Easy to assemble and the casters make it easy to move. My plants are doing wonderful, no more spindley shoots! A must have for early seed starters. I might buy another!

    Comments about 3-Tier SunLite® Garden:

    I'm using this to grow seedlings in our New England spring. I've lusted after this particular design for 3 years now, and finally splurged. It's beautifully designed, and my favorite feature is the way the lights can be raised and lowered with ease. The only negative is that putting the first (shorter) bolts in place is very hard to do...required some Yankee ingenuity to actually get them seated to screw in. All the rest made sense and seemed well engineered.

     
    "serious seed starters should consider"
    By neighborhoodfarmerVerified Purchaser from portland maine on 3/3/2009
    Pros:
    Assembly instructions ok, On wheels, Vertical space used
    Cons:
    Not made in usa, Wider fixtures to reflect
    Best Uses:
    Seed starting

    Comments about 3-Tier SunLite® Garden:

    This was an expensive item for me to purchase. At the end of seed starting season I can probably give more indepth feedback. I am particularly interested in how much my electricity bill increases. I like that it is on wheels and uses vertical space. I think the brims of the fixture should be wider to broadcast the light to the sides and ends more efficiently.

    Comments about 3-Tier SunLite® Garden:

    Assembly directions could be improved. There is no reference to big/litle bolt holes, nor which side of verticles is inside/outside - importsnt that dimpled holes be on outside e.g.

    Comments about 3-Tier SunLite® Garden:

    I use my Sunlite Garden to start my seeds so that I can enjoy the growing season even longer. I have had the system for approximately 4 years and love it so much I bought a second this year. When the cold weather has me down in January and February I start gathering supplies to plant my seeds. Then by the last frost they are ready to plant outside and I have had several extra months of fun!

    Comments about 3-Tier SunLite® Garden:

    This Garden is the best looking, most stable growing aid I have ever seen. It works beautifully. It took a little time to assemble it, but the effort was well rewarded. It holds more plants than any others I have seen. The lights are very easy to adjust, a clever design. I love it.

    Comments about 3-Tier SunLite® Garden:

    This is the first year that I have used grow lights. This total package grow system shortens growing time, seeds germinate much quicker, grow healthier, and do not develop "leggy seedlings". I added heating pads only because I had them in a cool basement. The trays are large and each tray easily accomodates two 72 cup grow trays. It was a lot of fun to see how quickly everything germinated and watch them all grow so beautifully. Once you get it together its hard to move if you have it on carpet--you need two people to do the job. I used a auto-timer for controlled timed lighting and a fan to aeriate the seedlings, this helped prevent mold that sometimes kills young seedlings at the base of the stem. I would definitely recommend this light system. I had so many cucumber and tomato seedlings I had to give some away. My vegetable seedlings were as big or bigger than the ones sold at [@] at the beginning of the season. I was able to set the seedlings in the ground earlier than usual because I didn't have to wait for [@] and other garden shops to stock their plants/vegetables. I started my seedlings in early March (I live in South Jersey). ENjoy this product!!!
