Organic Garden In A Can

Product Description

Back to the Roots is on a mission to Undo Food. In a college class, we learned mushrooms could grow entirely on spent coffee grounds. After watching hours of how-to videos and turning our fraternity kitchen into a big science experiment, we eventually decided to give up our corporate job offers to instead become full-time mushroom farmers. What started as curiosity about urban farming has turned into a passion to Undo Food and reconnect families back to where it comes from.

Features

• "WE RECOMMEND ENSURING THE PLANTS RECEIVE 8 FULL HOURS OF SUNLIGHT (OR GROW BULB LIGHT) EACH DAY. WE ALSO WANT TO ENSURE THAT CUSTOMERS ARE PREVENTING OVER-WATERING AND TRIMMING EXCESS SEEDLINGS WHEN THEY ARE ~1 INCH TALL, TO ALLOW FOR 2-3 OF THE MOST SUCCESSFUL SEEDLINGS TO ESTABLISH INTO THE FINAL FULL PLANTS"
• Ready-to-grow cans make indoor herb gardening fun and easy! Each organic cilantro can includes everything you need to start growing, including: organic, non-GMO seeds, nutrient rich soil, and moisture-balancing biochar — all pre-blended for low-maintenance, organic herbs right on your kitchen or classroom windowsill. Just plant the organic seeds, water, and grow!
• With biochar, it is never been easier to grow herbs indoors. Biochar is the charred remnants of agricultural waste through a process called pyrolysis, a technique mastered by Amazonian tribes centuries ago.

Cilantro WILL NOT GROW and return window JUST passed-bummer

The basil works great-I've done these cans three times-but the cilantro WILL NOT GROW. I just bought two cans of the cilantro as well as basil and once again the basil is growing like crazy but the cilantro has 2 tiny spouts not moving-after weeks. Same sun, same water. I think these guys got some dud cilantro seeds. I wish they would offer a replacement. I think the seeds were bad or maybe cilantro doesn't do well in this can environment like basil does.

Disappointing

I was so excited for this product, and I followed the directions on adding the seeds and where to put the can on the window, but one of the cans barely produced any cilantro and the other one was covered in mold from the moment I opened it...

I opened the can only to find it full of mold. The seeds in the bag were also mold covered. They were unusable. It was the same with the second can. I will not be buying this product again.

Sadly, no cilantro.

I followed directions and mine didn't grow at all. I waited for almost a month before I gave up on the poor thing. I like the concept behind this product, but had poor success rate with both cans. I should have listened to the other reviews!

Would order again

I bought the two pack of cilantro. I was very excited to get them as I LOVE cilantro. I've had the cans for weeks and followed the directions. One can sprouted and is doing good, the other can has done nothing - very disappointed in that one. But I would order it again, there are no guarantees in gardening.

I have not noticed any growth.

Update.

I noticed growth (very little) and you do have to worry about how much water you use. I really wanted it to grow but there is nothing special about this product. You can buy your own seeds and use your own can and your own soil and have the same effects. What i ended up doing was putting tomatoe seeds in the cans because very little success with cillantro.

Just like promised, it started to grow after just one week. But started dying just after the second week :( it seems to be too weak to survive, so sad.

I have a garden, so I'm not a brown thumb.
