Title: Great idea, don't bother with the included soil
Review: I was so excited when i brought this home and was in love until it was time to take the first plant out.The germination rates were great, the watering system worked flawlessly...but the plants are nearly IMPOSSIBLE to remove without making a gigantic mess and killing most of them.On the off chance that i could get the entire ball out pushing from the bottom, the 'dirt' completely crumbles away from the roots and leaves a very sad little plant behind - all of which, even with very careful planting, died promptly.After pulling them out, it didn't seem as though the root system was well established at all (compared to vermiculite rooting).I gave this product a 2 because the self watering is wonderful, and I'm trying to set up a home system to water larger trays of vermiculite starters.
