Product Description
Grow chillies with the experts - South Devon Chilli Farm - all you need to grow at least 20 chilli plant seedlings in separate compost cells ready for potting-on.
Each kit comes with three packets of our best selling chilli varieties and full instructions - all presented in a full-gloss gift box.
Unlike other chilli growing kits, this kit includes a reusable propagator to keep the compost cells warm which encourage rapid germination and seedling development.
The propagator can be used again and again - just buy more 38mm Jiffy-7 pellets and there are enough seeds with this kit to grow 60 chilli seedlings.
Once the seedlings are well established, the Jiffy-7 pellet is simple potted-on without need to disturb the roots.
To encourage health development of the seedlings, the kit also contains 'Chilli Focus' liquid plant food; a precise formulation for the optimal performance of chillies in pots.
A video of this kit being demonstrated can be found on YouTube - search for South Devon Chilli Farm.

Having tried a few chilli growing kits previously we were really impressed with this one. We planted the seeds very early (end January) which I think was key to our success. All the seeds we planted germinated and we had a few months of tasty, good-sized chillies from our plants before the winter. I would recommend this kit - a lovely gift for a beginner too.
This was given to me as a present because it's well known that I love my chillis! Initial impressions were good - the presentation box looks great and is very sturdy and I couldn't wait to get started!
The kit contains everything you need: a propagator and lid; 20 peat-free compost plugs; plant labels and a pencil; plant feed; instructions and 20 seeds each of Jalapeno, Ring of Fire and Peruvian Purple, (I'm guessing the seed selection might change from time to time as that was on a sticker). The compost plugs are amazingly easy to use - just pop them into the perfectly sized spaces in the propagator, water them, and they swell up immensely ready for the seeds. I initially used 10 of the plugs and planted 2 seeds per plug, (instructions state that you can plant one or two per plug), and I only had 2 that did not germinate which seems like a pretty good success rate. Now, several months on I have 18 very strong and healthy looking chilli plants and I'm sure that I'm going to have more chillis that I know what to do with before too long! I'm watering them with the chilli focus plant food that was supplied, and it really does seem to produce extremely vigorous plants. Each of the individual components, including more compost plugs, can be purchased, (details were inside the kit).
This kit is really good value for money in my opinion, and will last me for at least two years. Add to that the fact that it seems to be really good quality and produces fantastic results...a great gift for yourself or any chilli lover! Highly recommended.

Chillli Kit arrived within a few days of ordering - very well packaged, looks great & well worth the money. This kit has been bought as part of a present, so I cannot comment as to whether the growing results are good or not.
