44 Lbs of Azomite - Organic Trace Mineral Soil Additive Fertilizer - 67 Trace Minerals: Selenium, Vanadium, Chromium Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I use this in conjunction with Bloodmeal and Bonemeal and the combination makes my vegetables taste better than store bought stuff. Azomite is also good for rescueing depleted soils and diseased plants. My pine trees came back for chemical induced Pine Blight. My old neighbor liked to have ChemLawn TruGreen spray her entire yard and the blow off messed up all my trees. She no longer lives there and my new neighbors don't use that company.

A to Z Minerals- A Complete Organic Fertilizer A Source of Minerals & Trace Elements Azomite is the name of a special rock in Utah. Early this century geological prospector Rollin Anderson found deposits of montmorillonite clay in a valley south of Salt Lake City. U.S. Bureau of Mines analysis showed the clay is similar to Chilean/Peruvian caliche rocks from which much of the world's nitrate was mined. Anderson ground montmorillonite as fine as possible, then put it in his garden. Results were amazing and nearly immediate. Minerals in Azomite are necessary to optimal metabolism in living things. Ground to dust, minerals are small enough to pass through cell walls of organisms.

Hydrofarm Seedling Heat Mat Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)We are home gardeners and have tried many ways to provide bottom-heat for vegetable seed germination -- atop my always-on docked laptop was the most effective but the space was tiny. We bought a 20" x 20" heat mat and now have the right tool for the job. We set it up on a card table and found that it was not providing sufficient heat to the soil in the trays above. After an overnight on the mat, the soil surface was less than 10 degrees above ambient temperature. The room where the seeds are was 60 degrees overnight, and the soil surface in the trays was 68 degrees -- certainly not good enough for eggplant germination. I used an infrared thermometer (Raytek Minitemp MT6 here on Amazon) to check all temps. The exposed mat surface (no tray on top) was 82 degrees. I felt the surface on the underside of the card able and it was definitely warm, indicating heat loss downward. I wanted all of the heat to go up into the soil, so I cut a piece of rigid-foam insulation just slightly larger than the heat mat (22" x 22") and put it under the mat. Within 15 minutes the exposed surface of the mat was at 97 degrees and when I moved a tray to measure the temp of the mat beneath a tray, it was at 115 degrees. 2 hours later, the soil surface temperature was at 85 degrees. I am now confident the soil will get enough heat for proper germination, and I will begin using the heat mat thermostat to regulate soil temps based on the particular seeds we're starting (search the Web for "vegetable seed germination temperatures" to find one of the many reference charts available). We can also regulate temperature by covering or uncovering the trays to change the rate of evaporative cooling. We are well aware that covered soil is more prone to damping off/seedling death, which we now control with a spray of strong-brewed chamomile tea.

Jiffy 5131 Strips 'N Tray 32-Plant Seed Starter Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)My experience with this product so far has not been ideal. I bought this at a home improvement store and it did come with a plastic cover (hydrodome)unlike this particular version. However, I would recomend not having one of those lids with this product because of the following concern. If the peat pots are packed into the bottom plastic part as designed they grow blue mold all over the pots because the peat pots + moisture + no air circulation is a great recipe for mold. It does not seem that this mold is interfering with the plant growing at all, but for people who are allergic to mold this is not ideal. I took the pots out of the tray, turned the tray upside down, set the pots on top of it and ran a fan on them and the mold went away. It returns whenever the pots are wet. The second concern I have is the pots suck all of the water out of the soil. I guess the positive side of this is you never have to worry that your plants are going to damp off because it doesn't stay wet enough, but on the flip side watering twice a day to keep the soil from being bone dry is a little much. Also, just a note: when planting the peat pots make sure to cut off the top part of the pot and bury the pot below the soils surface or the plants will dry out and die. Also, it might be a good idea to cut vertically down the pots at planting to prevent the plants from becoming root bound since the pots don't decompose as fast as advertised. The one advantage to these pots is that I will be able to start plants indoors that are hard to transplant, that is if I can keep them alive through their constant drought and mold issues.

(More customer reviews)You get a thin plastic tray and thin clear plastic top. Inside is a pressed piece of some kind of paper similar to an egg carton with a hole in the bottom of each one. Mine came with no peat strips. I could make this thing with a two peices of tupperware and an ice cube tray with holes in the bottom of each cube. It kinda sucks.

Hydrofarm Jump Start T5 Grow Light System Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Just received and assembled this product today. I'm not sure why others have posted about poor quality and flimsy construction of this product. I am very satisfied with the construction and sturdiness. This product is exactly what I expected for the price, product description, and pictures.
I did notice that there are 3 very similar hydrofarm 4 foot grow systems listed on amazon, with a $15 price-range difference. This is the most expensive of the three. The only difference I can tell from the written description is that this product is described as having a premium light fixture. The pictures look the same. One of the other 4 foot hydrofarm systems received a few positive reviews.
Assembly required a philips head screwdriver, pair of pliers, and about 5 minutes of my time. One screw is used to connect each of the two vertical supports to the base cross-bars. Due to the shape and construction of the parts, this fit is tight and secure. Then each of the vertical side bars slips into the top piece (metal button is pressed and then releases into a hole on the top piece). Then you attach the light fixture itself, by hooking nylon string with s hooks attached to the top to either end of the light fixture. Pliers are used to close s hooks. The light is raised and lowered with the nylon string, very similar to a heavy venetian blind. It would be nice if the nylon string were a tad thicker, but it is sufficient for the job.
Overall, I am very happy with this product and would recommend it.

Jiffy 5718 Professional Greenhouse 50-Plant Starter Kit Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I bought the Jiffy 72-plant starter from Walmart at a very low price. It consists of a thin black plastic tray, a transparent plastic cover and another piece of thin black plastic sheet with holes for the peat pellets. The peat pellets are included too. All one has to do is to add water and wait for the peat to expand. (The pellets have fabric wrappings around them to keep them in the right shape, although one of them is broken and the peat overflows into a shapeless mess.) Then seeds can be planted in them. The cover goes on to keep the moisture in. It is important to take the cover off as soon as the seeds sprout roots or stems, for fungus may grow otherwise.
Overall, the whole thing is very cheaply made, but it does work and the (Walmart) price cannot be beat. I have two other starter sets from Gardeners.com. They are made of equally flimsy plastic but in a more sophisticated design (similar to Burpee Ultimate Seed Starting System) with Styrofoam holders that allow the use of ordinary potting soil. They cost 4 times as much, however, and hold only 1/3 as many seedlings. For budget seed growing, Jiffy remains the best bet.

Hydrofarm CK64050 Germination Station with Heat Mat Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This item is essentially a plastic base and clear top (very flimsy) with a heating pad that the base sits on. It's adequate for starting plants from seed, but my main complaint is that for what you get, it's way too expensive. I believe a fair price for this item would be around $20, NOT $40. If you do decide to purchase a germination station like this one, buy the one with the taller top - it doesn't take long before the new plants start running into the 2" tall lid.
