Well made, plants pop out easily, well made, durable, excellent value, fun colors

The Burpee SuperSeed Seed Starting Tray is a 36-cell reusable tray designed to simplify the seed germination process for vegetables, flowers, and herbs. Ideal for indoor gardening, this tray aims to provide an organized and efficient way to start seedlings. I used it to germinate a variety of seeds, including tomatoes, herbs, and marigolds, to assess its usability, durability, and performance. Pros: ✅ Reusable Design: The sturdy construction ensures the tray can be reused for multiple planting seasons. ✅ Optimized Cell Size: Each cell is spacious enough to support healthy root development for seedlings. ✅ Efficient Watering System: The tray design allows for easy drainage and helps prevent overwatering, promoting successful germination. ✅ Compact and Organized: Perfect for indoor setups, fitting conveniently on windowsills or small gardening shelves. ✅ Clear Lid Included: The included dome lid helps retain moisture and warmth, creating an ideal environment for germination. Cons: ❌ Lid Durability: The plastic lid feels thinner and less sturdy compared to the tray, requiring careful handling. ❌ No Labels Included: A lack of labels or markers for cell identification means you’ll need to organize seedlings manually. Performance and Usability: The Burpee SuperSeed tray performed excellently during testing, providing consistent germination rates across different types of seeds. The drainage holes in each cell were particularly effective in preventing waterlogging, while the clear dome lid helped maintain humidity levels. Cleaning the tray was straightforward, making it a practical reusable solution for gardeners. However, the thin lid requires extra care to avoid cracking. Comparison: Compared to single-use seed trays, the Burpee SuperSeed tray stands out for its durability and eco-friendly design. While some reusable trays in this price range lack clear lids or have smaller cells, this model strikes a good balance between functionality and size. Competitors offering similar features may charge more, making this tray a cost-effective option for home gardeners. Who Is This For?: This seed starter tray is ideal for beginner and experienced gardeners who want a reliable and reusable solution for starting seeds indoors. It’s perfect for those growing vegetables, flowers, or herbs in limited space or preparing seedlings for transplanting into a larger garden. Conclusion: The Burpee SuperSeed Seed Starting Tray is a high-quality, reusable tool that simplifies the germination process and supports healthy seedling growth. While the lid could be sturdier and labels would add convenience, the tray’s overall performance and ease of use make it a valuable addition to any gardener’s toolkit.

Nice set, don’t leave it too long in the sun though, overtime they break down

This is a really neat and practical little tool, especially if you’re doing any kind of planting or early garden setup. It does feel a bit flimsy when you first handle it, so it’s definitely not something I’d rely on for heavy-duty use or hard soil—but for lighter tasks, it works really well. It’s easy to insert into the ground, holds its shape well enough to do the job, and pulls back up without much effort. It is also reusable it is. You can use it, remove it, and reposition as needed without damaging it, which makes it really efficient if you’re working on multiple spots or adjusting your layout. For the price, it’s honestly a great value. It’s not meant to be a forever, heavy-duty tool, but for what it is, it’s useful, easy to work with, and something I’ve already gotten multiple uses out of.

Easy to use, because rubbery base lets you push seedling out easily without damaging the plant. Good size for starting flowers or veggies. Convenient waterproof tray makes watering easy. Clean easily after use with a sponge or gentle brush. We expect to get several years use out of these, unlike brittle plastic seed trays.

I love the Burpee trays of different sizes for seed starting. Not too messy with the bottom tray and if you over-water slightly the cells are elevated keeping your plants from drowning. Its also easy to pop the plants out when transplanting. They have held up for 2 years so far.

Item was damaged upon arrival. Still functional but cracked on the edges. It didn't come in a box to protect it. I need it for the growing season and don't have time to return it and wait for a replacement.

This seed starting tray came quickly and is as advertised. It seems to be well made, but won’t know until we use it. Planted alyssum and herbs seeds in it about 3 weeks ago. So far 17 of 18 pods of alyssum sprouted in1 week and are doing great. Also half of the herbs have sprouted. It is amazing watching how much they can grow in a 24 hour period. It is still chilly here in Michigan so they spend at least the night in our bay window and are put outside on the covered porch when the sun is shining. I water them lightly at least every other day and planted them in Miracle grow planting soil. I take the tray part out for watering and put it back in the holder to help keep the soil damp. The doing it that way when in the house sure helps keep the mess of dirty dripping water down. So far, I am very happy with this little planting system and would buy it again.

They are the easiest to use.

isnt as marketed

I can't tell much more about it. It was broken when delivered and could never use it. I was offered a partial discount that covered half the amount I paid. Very flimsy and doubt it is really dishwasher safe.

They were both broken and cracked
