Seed Starting Kit

The Simplest Method for Superior Seedlings!

  (16 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.

    This system is so much better than any I have tried. My cauliflower and brocolli had long, healthy roots and not at all root bound. I ordered another so all my transplants can get a healthy head start.

    great system
    Reviewed By: Chuck Fox (Lancaster, Ohio)
    Great system when used intelligently and properly. There is no toxicity in the styrofoam as one reviewer suggested. The proper use is to keep the styrofoam tray floating so as to get the air mixture. Don't let it rest on the bottom of the tray. Another point is that the purpose is to grow roots and not the top growth so it is good when the plugs are saturated with roots and you only have modest leaf growth. When the ground temp gets above 55 and you plant these guys-you will see top growth explode! Living in Ohio, soil temp sometimes does not reach 55 until the last of may or beginning of June. It is advantageous not to have a lot of top growth when you can't Plant. I move the plugs into styrofoam cups with holes punched in the bottom about the first of May and just wait for the soil temp to get to 55. My garden quickly surpasses others who don't use this system and plant early with little roots and a lot of green. THIS SYSTEM PROMOTES ROOT GROWTH!!! Awesome product if you know how to use it.

    I love this seed starting kit. My daughter gave me one kit and I had bought another. I am glad. This spring, I started all my seeds there. They all germinated and grew to nice seedlings, which I transplanted to bigger pots and then unto my garden. All the seedlings looked healthy, with nice roots. Just love this product. I'm going to buy more replacement plugs for next season. Thank you for an excellent product.
