Sadly, because the actual dimensions of this product were unclear. I had to return it as it wouldn’t fit in the space I have. Happily, the product was easily returned and all my money speedily refunded to my credit card. I’m sad that I couldn’t use this product as I was so excited to get my gardening started indoors.

I am doing an experiment to see which brand is better for seed starting and this is by far the best and easiest so far. Not to mention the growing medium is very light allowing sprouts to push through it much easier than other brands. Very idiot proof.

I used both Jiffy and Burpee. Burpee wins hands down. The Jiffy keeps the roots confined and tight. Once planted in the garden Jiffy didn’t grow but Burpee went wild!

I decided to sprout my own garden plants this year, so I went to Walmart and bought 2 of the Jiffy seed starting kits. I filled them up very quicking (even though they each start 72 plants)and on a subsequent visit to Home Depot,saw the Burpee kits. “Well, well,” I thought, “this must be MUCH better than the Jiffy!. First off, it’s made by Burpee, the reputable seed company. Secondly, it’s a bit more expensive than the Jiffy. Thirdly, it’s got these cute little markers so you can tell what is planted where.”
Fellow Amazon consumer, I was wrong, wrong WRONG! Don’t get me wrong – if you want to start seeds and can’t find the Jiffy model, or if you’ve already bought the Burpee, you’ll still be able to grow little plants. But here are the advantages the Jiffy model has over the Burpee: 1. Jiffy uses little peat pellets that grow into bags of peat. You DO have to be careful that they are positioned correctly when you add the water the first time, but they work beautifully and can be removed easily from the little greenhouse. This means that you can reuse the greenhouse again and again by simply purchasing refill peat bag pellets. 2. The pellet design, and the design of the inserts for the Jiffy make watering MUCH easier. You can even water the entire little greenhouse by removing one little bag carefully and pouring the water into one cell. The Burpee, however, must be watered very carefully so as not to disturb your little seedlings, and you have to water in many places to moisten every cell. 3. The Jiffy is cheaper. I DO advise buying either greenhouse-lette locally, they are almost %50 cheaper than ordering on line.
As for the cute little seed markers? I can’t find anything that will write on them! I’ve tried permanent markers, pencils, ballpoints, regular markers, colored pencils, crayons and have even tried to melt the crayons! Nothing works! I have to tear off the top of the seed bag and hang it on the marker, which is inconvenient if you haven’t used all the seeds in the bag. Also, the paper falls off easily. Ah well.
