Gurney's Seed Starting Kit

Gurney's Seed Starting Kit

The Simplest Method for Superior Seedlings!

  (20 customer reviews)



Gurney's complete Seed Starting Kit allows you to quickly, easily and successfully start all kinds of seeds. Each kit contains everything you need for fast germination and vital root growth.

Grow Plugs are the easiest & best seed starting method we've ever found!
  • Soil-less Grow Plugs are made of natural, biodegradable materials so that each plug can be directly transplanted into the garden greatly reducing transplant shock.
  • Pre-formed holes in each plug allow for easy planting of each seed, with no need to fuss with messy potting soil, or covering your seeds.
  • Our Grow Plugs contain beneficial bacteria to aid in maximum seed germination and consistently out-perform alternative growing media in trials.

    Ideal growing environment promotes healthy root development-which equals healthy, happy plants!
  • The lightweight Styrofoam Growing Tray wraps each Grow Plug in warmth and floats them in the water-filled Reservoir Tray, allowing each seedling to take in the proper amount of water for its needs.
  • Optimum water-to-air ratio aids in healthy root development and prevents common water molds and diseases.
  • Humidity Dome holds in warmth and moisture to ensure early, uniform germination of seeds. As young seedlings grow, they benefit from the light filtered through the transparent lid.
  • NEW! Seedling Boost Fertilizer ensures healthy cell wall development and compact growth. Contains the perfect blend of calcium, magnesium and nitrogen for seedlings.

    Each Seed Starting Kit Includes: 1 Water Reservoir Tray, Grow Plugs, 1 Humidity Dome (not pictured), 1 Seedling Boost Fertilizer and 1 Growing Tray.

    I follwed the instructions exactly, including heated grow mat and everything. Seeds started sprouting pretty quickly, then started damping off just as quickly. One glace tells me that the potting medium is far too sloppy wet. And YeS, I followed the instructions!

    Great price for the kit

    Great product, already sprouting seeds for my garden. I was floating around online, while I loved the price of the kit I am not so thrilled about the price of the refill kit. This is the only reason for giving the 4 and not a 5.

    Best Seed Starting Kit
    Reviewed By: Carrie T. (Scranton, PA)
    I have, for years, tried the traditional peat starter kits sold in stores, with almost no luck at all. Without fail, my seedlings would go dry or end up sitting in too hot of a sunny spot and bake. This year, I said no more! I ordered two of these starter kits, plus two small ones, and set up a grow light table. I am having the best seed start ever! Over 100 plants! All different kinds! The only seeds that don't seem to like this system so far have been peas/beans (I live up north and wanted to get a head start) - its too much moisture for them, and pumpkin/gourds. Everything else has sprouted wonderfully, and I have quite a list - tomatoes, peppers, sunflowers, marigolds, zinnias, cantaloupe, various herbs from dill to parsely, cucumbers, squash, eggplant, chard, cauliflower! As other reviewers mention, the root systems (and most of my plants are only two weeks old) are impressively long. In a couple of weeks, some of the bigger plants will need to be moved to bigger inside pots, but this has to be the best seed starting experience I've ever had. I will most definitely be ordering replacement plugs next spring! If you are serious about gardening, but maybe not the best green thumb (or just want it to be easier), order these!
