Great product I've had so far easy to pop out and replant good thinkness and stability and send starting also.

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.

The Burpee SuperSeed Windowsill Seed Starting Tray | 8 XL Cell exceeded my expectations and made starting seeds indoors incredibly easy. The extra-large cells provide plenty of room for seedlings to develop strong roots before transplanting, which really helps plants grow healthier and faster. I especially love the thoughtful design — it fits perfectly on a windowsill without taking up too much space, and the drainage system keeps the soil moist without becoming waterlogged. The tray feels sturdy and reusable, unlike cheaper seed starters that crack after one season. Germination rates noticeably improved after switching to this tray because the seedlings had better airflow and consistent moisture. It’s perfect for herbs, vegetables, and flowers alike. Whether you’re a beginner gardener or someone who starts seeds every season, this tray makes the process simple, clean, and efficient. Overall, this is a high-quality seed starting system that delivers excellent results. I would absolutely buy it again and highly recommend it to anyone looking to grow strong, healthy seedlings at home.

I decided to try one of the XL windowsill models. I am concerned about potential breakage. I would also prefer that the grooves in the bottom of the outer tray were deeper (to hold any excess water). All-in-all, it's worth a trial.

I made the mistake of buying the paper based starting tray that was harder to control the moisture. I didn't know bottom soaking is better without washing the seeds out and avoid overwatering. The build quality is excellent! Sure, the bottom tray is on the thinner side so you probably don't want to drop this on the ground but otherwise, I used four 36-cell tray to start germinating annuals and perennials I can plant this year. After putting seeding starting mix (not regular potting soil), I filled the bottom tray about 1/4" or so with water and let it sit for about 10-15 minutes until the top looked damp. Then dumped the remaining water out so no mold grows under or have the cells in wet condition. Another issue I had with the paper trays if the top was too damp. We'll see how things germinate but because it's rigid but it's also easy to take out with the flexible silicone bottom, the seeds should start well and allow for the plant to grow rapidly.

I started a full tray of beans and tomatoes. The beans transplanted easily into my raised bed. The cherry patio tomatoes are about to be ready to transplant. Plants pop out of the silicone wells easily for transplanting. To maintain moisture in the tray I covered it with plastic wrap. Almost all of my seeds germinated. The best part is that this tray can be used many times making it a better value than cheap single use trays.

Don’t get me wrong. I know absolutely nothing about gardening. But this tray seemed like a great way to start one. And so far, it’s been going well. Granted I only just put some dirt and seeds in it. But the container itself is nice and sturdy. I think the silicone bottoms will help when it’s time to transfer them out to a bigger pot. Only time will tell. But so far, I like this tray!

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.

They are the easiest to use.

isnt as marketed

Decent product. Had it have a dome cover, since it is for seedlings- would have been perfect. A bit pricey...

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
