EarlyGrow 93807 24" x 15" x 12.75" Domed Propagator with 2 Height Extenders, Green

After several seasons of using those flimsy seedling trays with the shallow lids, I came across this product on Amazon. It was quite expensive, but definitely meets my requirements. 1) A stiff bottom tray that will not break or bend with a load of water laden peat moss pellets. 2) A domed lid that provides enough clearance to allow tomato plants to grow tall over a period of 6-8 weeks. 3) A domed lid that was manufactured with strong plastic and does not easily come off in breezy conditions. 4) Vents on the domed lid to allow heat to escape during the morning until I wake and remove the top. 5) Allow me to bring the tomato seedlings outside to harden during the day when temperatures are above 0c. It also gives the plant a chance to grow stronger before being transplanted into the garden. Reduces chance of frost at night and they have a better chance of surviving slug attacks. So far I've been very happy with the product. It is well designed though I do wonder how well the plastic bolt/nuts will last. I would have preferred that the height extensions be a single plastic instead of 4 separate pieces that require assembly. If the bolts/nuts do break, I can certainly replace them with brass ones from the hardware store. I had no issues with the lid not fitting correctly to the tray unlike other posters. I can see this occurring if the side extensions were not bolted together and aligned properly. The openings where the bolts go through are actually slits to provide a bit of play. If I can find larger peat moss pellets > 42mm pucks I will be able to start tomato seedlings 8+ weeks indoors giving me an even bigger head start on the growing season.

Very smart in comparison to my other trays! Well built and a useful height once extended, i expect this will last for many years.

2021 - Bought 2 of these. Easy to put together by 1 person. All parts required in the package (including plastic screwdriver). The plastic is pretty solid, i can put items on top to save space. Reusable and easy to disassemble for storage. Fit from one panel to the next does not seem to have gaps. I bought another one a few weeks after. I used first set with 3 extensions, 2nd set 1 extension for the freshly sprouted plants. Hard top allows me to put anything on top to save space on my kitchen table. Very happy with both purchases.Feb 2022 - bought a 3rd one to prepare to sprout some of mu seeds for upcoming season. Was disappointed a bit on the 3rd order as the green came broken. I’m not removing a star but would like more quality control in future orders. It looked like the crack was not due to shipping but likely already there prior to shipment. Looking at the plastic it came in, there were no additional pieces of plastic that would indicate break during shipment. So it’s either at the time of manufacturing, or boxing, or it was before leaving the warehouse. Pic posted. The dome propagator is big and cumbersome to have to return, rebox and send back. I spoke to Amazon customer service and proposed a small partial credit for broken bin as all other parts were intact besides and usable. Where the crack was situated, it was not a lost cause. Armed with duct tape, glue gun, and patience, i was still able to fix the cracked corner to make it usable, and still provide the seal expected of a domed propagator. I could also opt to throw away the bin (if I wanted) and only use the cover and extenders but why waste the bin if fixable? Although my glue gun work aint pretty in the slightest, but who cares. It’s for plants and will just get more wear and tear later. For the most part, the integrity is still there, and I was able to play with my mini glue gun. I do wish better quality control will be implemented in the future. This is a good product overall. Receiving broken items will make other buyers steer clear of purchasing as 1 bad experience will do it for 1st time buyers. Fortunately, I have received 2 previous ones with no hitch, so I find the quality of the 3rd order was an “oddity”.

Perfect for fresh cuttings all the way to young plants. I have 3 of these and threw out all my cheap domes/trays. Works for seep propagation, clone rooting, small plants, isolating new plants before introducing to your other plants, stack the walls and use for an IPM spraying area. So many uses! Sturdy, hard plastic that does not bend or squish, air tight with clips holding each section together.

It is thick clear plastic, should last me years. I like the seated lip design, as it gives a little more protection to the plants inside from external threats. The clips though effective especially if the container doesn't move much could be of better quality as I can see them easily being bumped off in transport or near high traffic areas. Also as I mentioned in the title though, the price is a bit steep. It just is at the moment. But as with all things a few well thought out upgrades general and crop specific. I have a couple in mind I can guarantee no one has thought of yet hint hint... a competitor could easily take over the market if they ever picture what I envision. yada yada yada haha all in all I still give it a 5 stars across the board for pioneering a great product.
