FAQs
Seedsheet is a weed-blocking fabric embedded with seed pods. The pods dissolve when you water them, releasing the seeds inside so they can grow.
Because the seeds are already embedded in the sheet, there's no need to plant anything. Just place Seedsheet on top of freshly tilled soil, and secure it to the ground with the included stakes. And because the sheet is made of weed-blocking fabric, there are no weeds to pull.
Your perfectly designed, organic, weed-free garden can be set up and ready to grow in just a few minutes.
Seedsheet works virtually anywhere in the country, just about any time of year. We've chosen seeds that are fast-growing, prolific, and almost completely climate independent, meaning they can be grown in Maine, California, and everywhere in between.
Yes! Our dissolvable seed pods contain the very best premium heirloom, organic and non-GMO seeds.
No. Simply place the Seedsheet on top of loose, prepared soil in your garden. There's no need to plant seeds or bury anything.
No. When you water your Seedsheet, the pods will dissolve, releasing the seeds inside. For more information, follow the simple directions included with your garden.
No. Our specially designed weed-blocking fabric lets water through, but not the weeds. There's no need to use nasty chemicals, or spend hours bending over pulling weeds.
Nope! We use sustainable farming principles so you don’t need to add harmful chemicals to your food. Seedsheets feature companion planting, where mutually beneficial plants naturally help each other attract pollinators, thwart pests, and improve soil. The weed-blocking fabric prevents sunlight from allowing weeds to germinate and photosynthesize, as well as provides a physical barrier to block their growth, so you don’t have to use any scary chemicals! Eat with confidence!
Seedsheets can be placed directly onto a tilled soil (we suggest amending with compost). However, for best growth, we do recommend that you grow in a raised bed with a minimum 8-12 inches soil depth. Raised beds have numerous benefits like improved soil drainage, increased soil warming, less weeds, and ease on the back!
Seedsheets are 8 ft. x 4 ft. when assembled, but can be easily trimmed with scissors to fit any size garden plot. This season, we listened to customer feedback and upgraded our design so Seedsheets now come in strips - one for each plant row, so you can organize your garden however you want!
Yes! Seedsheets are made of a special medium-weight fabric which can be easily trimmed with scissors to fit any sized garden. Just don't cut the seed pods!
Seedsheets are designed to be grown outdoors, but you can also grow them in a greenhouse as long as there's good soil and good light!
Seedsheets will last for at least 2 yearsin their packaging, so you can buy now and plant whenever is most convenient for you. They also make fantastic gifts for your favorite foodies! After 2 years in the packaging, the germination rates for the seeds will start to gradually decrease, however because we "plant" multiple seeds in each pod to ensure germination, you will likely still have success well beyond the best-by date.
The dissolvable seed pouches are made out of a Certified-Edible PolyVinyl Alcohol film. This material is most commonly used in gel casings for pills. So yes, you can safely eat our dissolvable seed pods, but there's manure in there, so we wouldn't recommend it ;)
Our Seedsheets are made from an earth friendly recyclable, non-woven, weed-blocking fabric. It is a specially-designed flexible, breathable, and perforated BPA-free fabric, not a black plastic sheet. Water is able to drip through the material, and perforations help airflow to prevent soil mold and root rot. At the end of your garden's life you can recycle the weed-blocking fabric, or save to reuse next season!
This year we upgraded our design based on customer feedback and split the sheet into strips for each plant row so you can arrange your garden however you want! The upgraded design also enables succession planting, so as one section of your garden is ready for harvest, you can replace it with another sheet for multiple harvests throughout the season. It’s more expensive for us to produce the product this way, but our customers wanted it, so we did it!
Seedsheets have seed pods sealed directly into the weed blocking fabric. So each Seedsheet will only grow plants onece. At the end of your harvest, you can either recycle your Seedsheet, or you can re-use the remaining earth-friendly fabric as a weed barrier in other parts of your garden.
Unfortunately, due to the custom nature of our products, we cannot accept returns. However, we want you to enjoy gardening as much as we do, so we do offer aGreenthumb Guarantee and will happily replace any seed pods that fail to grow free of charge, even if its not our fault! Just contact us usingthe form on this page. We have your back!
For the time being, Seedsheets are only sold with seeds included.
