Johnsons MicroGreens Growing Tray Starter Kit

This is described as lidded, but there is no lid - at least mine didn't have one, but I don't think it really needs a lid. The clear plastic tray goes underneath the seed trays to hold water and for the roots to grow into. Otherwise very pleased with it, it's just what I needed, and I may order some more. I've only tried the rocket seeds so far, but I've had no problem with them. They have nearly all germinated, close to 100% I'd say.

I thought this would be quite nice to have something a bit different, and it reminded me a bit of growing water cress on blotting paper at school. I've grown salads in trays before but with soil. Well I tried two of them one partly sprouted and the other one did nothing so I have just thrown the seeds away. I won't be trying again.

The first issue that I had with this was that the sellotape that was used to hold the pieces together before use was nigh on impossible to remove - and when I did manage to separate the parts, there was still stickiness on the base, which i can't remove. I then followed the instructions to the letter for growing but although the seeds (mainly) germinated, they got to about 1.5 cm and then didn't get any taller - not really big enough to harvest and use. Think I'd be better off buying a pack of mustard and cress from the supermarket!
