Renu Terra Large Seed Format Mats - Deeper Root Growth for Spinach, Baby Greens, Microgreens - for Indoor Gardening - Growing Pads for Hydroponic Gardening - Fits 5x5 & 1020 Tray - 5" x 5" - 40pack

After reading reviews looking for a quality growing medium for microgreens was a daunting task. Many mats that looked good in photos I come to find out that most stink(literally). Petroleum distillates and latex binders to hold the mat together. I like everything about these mats. They smell very fresh and natural w/a slight sweet smell. They hold water pretty well. Seeds don't come cheap and if I do the best for the seeds my reward is a healthy harvest. Thankyou. Greybeard

I'm quite happy with these Re-Nuble Renu Terra seed mats. The package comes with 40 5"x5" mats, which is probably enough to last a sprouting newbie like me a very long time. The mats themselves are easily trimmable with scissors. I used three mats with one cut in half to fit into my 11"x8" sprouting trays. With these mats I can sprout smaller seed that would normally fall through the grid on the trays. They are definitely a step up from trying to use paper towels. I had no issues with smell or drying out on my first attempt at sprouting, the mats did exactly as they were supposed to. If I can get the hang of growing microgreens I would definitely purchase more of these in the future.

What I mean by Less attention is the texture of Re-Nuble Renu Terra Seed Format Mats are pours material they hold water even in sunlight (heat). The 5th picture is day 2 and the last picture was day 4. The process I just used an ordinary cooking tray laid the mats out after soaking the large seeds for a day. T then sprinkle the seeds on the mat and apply filter water directly on tray and watch the mats soak up the water. I cover the tray with aluminum foil for two day when I uncovered and the mats were still wet and mostly soaked. I water them slightly (the tray not the mats), to be on the cautious side (which I did not have to). Bottom line, I did not have to water at all nor did I have to be attentive to the process. Clean up will be a breeze and especially with the greens themselves. Very fast shipping

Unfortunately, this item is not as efficient and good as we expected. The link they provided with instructions doesn't work correctly.

I grew up gardening and I am excited to try my hand at indoor growing. These mats are perfect for micro greens which I am adding to my diet for health reasons. The mats are small which is great for growing a personal harvest. I love that they are soil free and hopefully means we don't have to worry about many of the food-borne illnesses fresh veg is known for due to bad water and run-off into soil. The mats arrived ready for use and the online instructions are great. Children would enjoy growing the baby veggies too.
