Mr Fothergill's 24725 Microgreens Growing Kit and 3 Packets of Seeds - Green

Very far service easy to use set up it seems to be working well

It’s probably us - but we’ve not had great success with this sprouter. A person probably needs the right amount of water and the right amount of light and probably the right seeds too. I bought it coz I needed to spend a few more pounds to get a free delivery. Will pass it on to someone who knows how to use it.

Looks great and good price…. But then very little germinates. Only the radish seeds and those are sparse. Had a tray of peas for pea shoots on a tray next to it and they are growing like mad. Is it the seed quality I wonder? I’m going to try seeds other than the ones supplied and see

Hmmm. Not sure I 'believe' in microherb growing. Seems a bit faffy and a waste of seeds that could grow into something big and bushy. Not enough flavour to make up for it.

Small compact simple to use and very cost effective,you get the seeds to . If you want to try hydroponics it’s a great way to start. I will buy more later.

I usually grow microgreens in compost but had run out of the latter so decided to give this soil-free kit a try. It's easy - you simply fill the tray with water, put the seeds on top on wet paper towel and keep the seeds moist. Within a few days they started sprouting and I now have a full tray of what looks like cress. I have two more packets to use after which I can keep using the plastic tray either with soil or without. This would be a nice gift for a primary school aged child as it teaches them responsibility - the seeds have to be wettened two or three times a day until the roots form and grow down into the tray full of water. You are ideally supposed to use a spray for this but I didn't have one so just dripped water from an eggcup instead. It would also suit an elderly person as studies show that caring for a plant, or similar, helps a senior citizen to feel needed and, incredibly, extends life.

Really easy to grow on windowsill. Fast growing. Very tasty, great in salads or as a garnish. Fast delivery. Great quality product

Unfortunately my tray was cracked when it arrived. I popped some sticky tape over the crack and used it successfully. I grew pea shoots and micro basil very successful as my first trial. I considered buying the tiered but was put off by the poor reviews. I will buy another one of these trays.
