Germinate your seedlings fast and efficiently using this 288 seedling start kit.
In general, this method is ideal for any seed that is extremely small, has poor germination, or would typically require the time-consuming task of pricking out.
288 trays use dramatically less space in your prop house and germination area.
This kit includes the 288 dibbler / popper, and the popping frame. Also included is the seeding cover, to center seeds in each cell.
Two Winstrip marking pencils are part of the kit as well.
