Yes, I continue to use the soil blocks- and love it. But I saw Burpee self watering trays and thought I would try them. Might be perfect for starting tomatoes.
I found the units clumsy to open; you have to layer the pieces, set the little discs upright in each container. and put water up to the rim in the bottom.
well, that was messy. the discs did not fully expand in some cells. Added potting mix.Added seeds. Put on tops ( not tight-another minus in my book) filled out the papers to show you what you planted ( and THEN what do you do? not attached to anything!)
Spilled more water taking them back to the grow light.
all I can say is- even using potting soil/compost after this....not the lousy burpee peat mix- this really is not much of a helper for seed planting.
Buy a 2 inch soil blocker instead.,
