The Simply Good Box by Home Greens - The Simplest Way to Grow Amazing Microgreens

Everything is first class. Nicely put together. Just started, but impressed with how everything looks. I went to Hippocrates Institute where they stress how growing food like this is like tasty medicine for great health. So good for you!Wish they had included soil since all I have is potting soil and read that it's not good for these seeds. So when you order, go out and get some soil so you'll be ready for it when it arrives. I got this from a gardener's web site, "The best soil mix for seedstarting is not really soil at all. It's a growing medium comprised of sphagnum peat moss and small amounts of vermiculite and/or perlite. This blend helps ensure a consistently moist environment to encourage good germination. It is also light enough to provide lots of wiggle room for tiny roots. Just as importantly, it has been sterilized to eliminate bacteria and fungus which can cause problems such as — damping off, — a disease that kills seedlings."I got soil at Home Depot and the next day my boxes had super tiny bugs. I think they need to include soil in with this so we know the best soil and one that doesn't get bugs.

My box arrived quickly and in perfect shape. It included Simple Soil which is not listed as a component of the box. Many reviewers mentioned needing to buy soil separately, which I did. Now I do not need it. Hopefully I will find another use for the coir. More importantly, the seeds I received are 11/2 years past their “sell by” date! Hoping for good results and will update with a success story (or lack thereof).UPDATE: May19...Everything grew beautifully! From seed to salad bowl in 6 days! I soaked the sunflower seeds for a little while and they sprouted just as quickly as the radishes. Now I am doing peas and beets..

My plants have started sprouting! It took 2 days. Just wish they could have added a small bag of potting soil so you can start straight away. They give you ALOT of seeds so I was a little bit too liberal when planting but I've got a good 2 or 3 more lots of seeds to plant after this.

I just planted in this box, and my radish and sunflower sprouts are coming up already, in two days! I used regular potting soil with miracle grow. The box is a very sturdy cardboard, and is double thick...one box inside the other. Appears that it will last a long time.

I’ve tried really hard to make this work. But unfortunately I can’t get the sprouts to grow enough that I could harvest them

I was very impress with the package. It has everything one needs to get started; however, you will need to go buy some more soil because its not enough that's comes in the package. And just as say on the package your seed will grow very fast, you will be truly happy with the box.

Only one harvest so far. Sunflowers took 3 weeks to sprout so somewhat dissatisfied

This is the Christmas gift I am most excited to give. My sister-in-law is hard to buy for but she loves small salads and anything organic. Micro greens are delicious and I know she will love this. I want one too but I can't trust my cats not to mess with it. I might give it a try anyway.
