Love it!

What I like about the kit is that the plastic trays and dome are made of a very sturdy material, not like the flimsy trays I have used in the past. It was difficult to move full trays when they were not rigid. These trays are quite rigid and I think will make moving them much easier. They also seem like they will hold up longer with normal usage.

It was convenient to get everything I needed for a small seed starting in one package and I didn't have to search around for all the parts. It has the mesh bottom insert that seems to be necessary for use with soil blocking, so that was a big plus to me.

I am going to try the soil blocking, so I'm excited to try the blocker. Just getting everything set up now. However, the blocker seems to be in good working order even though I haven't actually used it yet.

One thing I think would improve the website is mentioning in the item description that the plastic is much sturdier than ones mostly seen in the stores. I wasn't quite sure that it was the sturdier version, but I decided to take a chance. Just making that clearer in the description would have been helpful. (i.e. "these trays and domes aren't the flimsy version you find in most stores!") I am sure people more used to using greenhouse products know that, but people new to that might not.
