WHAT WE THINK:

Entertains you with basil, cilantro, parsley or mint that takes as little as 2-3 weeks to begin producing. It is also the perfect gift for the gardening enthusiast who has everything. The reason these herbs grow so well is that they are grown in water and organic light! It's all the nutrients they need in a small footprint. No dirt or soil needed along with no hassle of adding water daily. All you need to do is add water every few days and you're on your way to fresh herbs for cooking or making your own teas and tinctures.  
 
Did we mention how aesthetically pleasing the ceramic pots look?  

WHAT CUSTOMERS THINK:

“I was pleasantly surprised at how awesome the Deluxe Herb Kit is when it arrived at my door. It came with four pretty blue marbled ceramic pots, bamboo drip trays, cute wooden markers, and everything you need to get started (dirt, plant food and seeds). The directions are clear and easy to follow. Even the packaging was pretty and everything was nestled in durable foam to prevent breakage. I'm so excited to watch the seedlings pop up!”

WHAT WE THINK:

This kit is a friendly reminder that not all foods are grown in a grocery store. Back to the Roots is a company that is on an initiative to get kids and grown-ups growing and learning how to be self-sufficient, and this garden kit proves it. The Grow Kit contains inoculated organic grain that grows into gourmet oyster mushrooms, which can be used for cooking or eaten as they grow. 
 
All you need to do is open, spray daily with the included mister, and in 10 days you'll be harvesting your own mushrooms right out of the box. The top of the kit allows you to view the progress of the growing process and it comes with instructions for use, troubleshooting tips, and tips on how best to harvest your crop at its peak of maturity. 

WHAT CUSTOMERS THINK:

“I've bought and used a few of these kits and had success each time. I personally like to grow both side at once. This requires soaking for 6-8 hours, then turning over and soaking another 6-8. Spraying twice a day is more of a minimum, I sprayed several times a day to keep the growing area moist. The mushrooms will grow on the edges of the mycellium where you scrape it. So scrape small spots but make a lot of them. Leave about 50/50 scraped vs. un-scraped. If you want to grow one side at a time, you need to wait a few weeks before you grow the other side. Put the kit somewhere cool and dark while the mycellium heals. Then soak again and start the process over."
 
I make mushroom tacos with my harvests, but I use a seasoning mix I make myself instead of the recipe on the mushroom kit. Topped with fresh cilantro and corn salsa... they're delicious!”

WHAT CUSTOMERS THINK:

“Okay. I have never gardened before. The only time I ever planted anything was a science project in elementary school. I bought this kit as something to keep myself productive with this summer. Within 4 days of planting the seeds, the Brussel sprouts started sprouting. The next day, the chard started sprouting. The day after that, the carrots, then the zucchini, then the tomatoes. The kit does NOT give you directions on how many seeds to plant in your starter pot. Only plant 5-6 seeds. All 20 seeds will be too much. The directions also state to keep some of the plants in a polyethylene bag. Idk what that even is so I put my starter pots in this container to create a green house affect and it is working amazingly! I water my plants a little bit each day. So far everything is growing beautifully as pictured above. Once the sprouts are fuller, I plan on transplanting them into a much larger pot filled with pot soil. ” 

PROS

The only thing I would have liked is clarification on how many seeds should go into a starter pot

“Instructions were clear and easy to follow. It was a little tricky getting the water temp and soil right (you have to read carefully - you can also call customer service- they are great!) That part takes time, but was so worth it. In less than a week, all 5 of my plants have sprouted. I need to transplant them outside to really grow... but they are literally getting taller by the day. This was great to do w/ my daughter... she's 8 and loved helping. Would recommend!”
