There are a multitude of germination plant, often in the form of trays that stack. Disadvantage, they take up much space and are instead cheaps! This product is very simple to use, very effective (all my seeds germinate without problems), quite nice (this is relative!) And cheap. I possess three enabling me to get my all assortments throughout the week. Really perfect. Tip: when rinsing your seeds, consider recovering the water for your plants is greener than throwing it in the sink.
