Why we love it
Get a crop of fresh, hearty produce in a snap, with Reel Gardening in a Box. Reel Gardening kits are made by encasing seeds inside a nutrient-rich, biodegradable paper tape, to take the guesswork out of gardening. The process is quick and easy, plus it requires much less water than ordinary growing seeds.

Bought it as part of a gift for a budding little gardener, but it was a lot smaller than the picture on the site suggests. The seeds are good though.
This is such a clever idea. I have planted my seeds according to the instructions and have noticed a tiny little sprout from one of the spinach packets. I'm holding thumbs the others sprout too!
As someone else mentioned, the box is really, really tiny (like, 3cm x 8cm) but quite honestly, larger packaging is really not necessary. So I quite like that, because it's far less wasteful. The price is really great for what you get. I really hope my veggies grow!
I like the idea of this. I planted some of the seeds in the paper packaging, and others I took out and planted in the soil without paper. I preferred the seeds without the paper, because I like to see my seeds sprout and see their progress :)
Love this product! its fool proof. Its been close to three weeks and my plants are sprouting so i am very happy
Comes in a cute little box and easy to use
