Jiffy 72 Cell Inserts #258 Review

Jiffy 72 Cell Inserts #258

You are given eight trays with nine cubby holes each, which amounts to 72 total cubby holes to plant your seeds. On the bottom of each tray are slits that allow excess water to drain. For this reason, a tray is needed to catch excess water if you use these indoors. The trays are only functional and have no aesthetic value. The only negative aspect is that the trays are flimsy, which led me to slice a large hole in a tray when I foolishly removed a seedling with a knife.

Gardman Rainbow Garden R687 4-Tier Mini Greenhouse Review

Greenhouse Four-Tier Mini / B000NCTGQE
I bought this greenhouse to start seedlings in the house before transplanting them outside for spring, and also to host a little herb garden in the kitchen area.
Firstly, the measurements listed here are accurate. This is a very large unit, of respectable quality, and very affordable. I have yet to find another unit this size and quality online or in catalogues that doesn't cost twice this much. In fact, this same greenhouse is selling in some places for double this price, plus shipping, so Amazon has quite the bargain here.
Secondly, the greenhouse is incredibly easy to put together. We had it out of the box and set up in less than half an hour, with no onerous tools required. The shelves are a thin metal lattice, to let sunlight filter down to the bottom levels, but the metal is strong and feels very sturdy. The cover has enough lee-way to slip on and off easily, as well as ties to hold it in place, and extends well to the ground, to act as a barrier to curious house cats and naughty puppies.
However, and here's where I docked a star, some extra assembly is really required here. The shelves don't attach into place - they lay on top of the shelving bars, and it is absurdly easy to unbalance a shelf such that the shelf tips over and drops all your plants on the ground, spilling dirt and seeds everywhere. I had this happen and was not too amused. Don't let this put you off your purchase, though, as there is a simple solution: Buy some cheap cable ties (for example, Belkin 7.5IN Multicolored Cable Ties 52 Pieces) and use them to cinch the shelves in place. I used 6 ties per shelf (one in each corner and two in the middle) and the shelves are now completely sturdy and will never shift or move on me. And the cable ties are easy to cut, if you ever need to disassemble your greenhouse during a move.
So, bottom line, definitely buy this greenhouse for the bargain that it is and enjoy it immensely, as I am mine, but do remember to buy the cable ties (or something similar) to ensure that your pots won't fall and break.

Why ship fruits, veggies, flowers and herbs from afar when you can grow them right at home? Of course, getting a jumpstart on the growing season, as well as extending it into the fall, is always a plus. Ideal for pollinating plants, protecting starts, and displaying flora in full sun, this 4-tier mini greenhouse fits in the corner of the garden, on the deck, patio or balcony with ease. Its sturdy, tubular steel frame offers plenty of support for pots and trays. A removable, clear plastic cover with full-length, roll-up zippered front panel retains solar energy to bolster growth while making it easy to install and remove plants. A fleece cover keeps plants alive when temperatures bottom out at -8 degrees F. Polypropylene construction ensures years of reliable use and won’t fade or crack in sun. Assembled in minutes with no tools needed, the purchase includes clear setup instructions.

I found this to work well as a cold frame. As a seed starter (which is in the title of the product), not so great, since it really can heat up in there. It has to be monitored very closely. Even with the flaps rolled up and the shade mesh on it some seeds fried.
