The pots are the only good thing about this product. The soil will not grow the seeds enclosed, the seeds would not grow in different soil. Just plan on buying new seeds and soil if you decide to go with this product. I followed the instructions, I had nothing grow. The second time i tried it i had about 10 little chive plants grow and that was it. I even changed the soil i used to grow the same seeds. I have since reused the pots with different herb garden products purchased and they seem to be working. Thats the only thing that is though!
