#PlantersChoice Bonsai Starter Kit Review (Tomoson)

Disclaimer: This post contains Amazon Affiliate Links.

I received Planter's Choice Bonsai Starter Kit, in exchange for honest review from Tomoson. The kit comes with biodegradable pots, expanding soil pods, seeds, identification tags, trimmers, and instructions.

I wanted to grow a bonsai because it is low maintenance, even if I don't have a green thumb. Bonsais are great for indoor and outdoor gardening, which is perfect because I barely use my patio.

You have to soak the seeds and soil, according to the instructions. When soaking the soil, if you have highly active, nosy, children, keep the soil away from them. I left the soil in the bathroom. Kalen got a hold of it. My soil went from pallets to crumbly soil, which I still used.

The kit comes with 4 types of seeds. The seeds include Rocky Mountain Bristlecone Pine, Black Poui, Norway Spruce, and Flame Tree. Each seed comes in its own container, with the type of each tree printed on top.

Each seed also has an identifying tag, to stick in the soil. I found it easier to soak the seeds, before removing them from the container. This way I can soak, plant, and tag easily.

The kit was easy to use. I just followed the instructions. I don't have any growth yet to show, but hopefully one day.

You can purchase the kit on Amazon using the link above. The kit is prime-eligible.

LifeWell Garden Hand Trowel Review (Tomoson)

Disclaimer: This post contains Amazon Affiliate Links.


I received the Extremely Durable Garden Hand Trowel. in exchange for honest review from Tomoson. I don't work outside much, but when I do, I have to deal with the long handled shovel, rake, and hoe, which are all taller than me and sometimes hard to work with at times.

The trowel was great for small jobs like digging holes or pulling up weeds, without bringing out the big hedge clippers. The handle is also lighter and easier to handle.

You can purchase the hand trowel on Amazon, using the link above. The trowel is prime-eligible.

Ramini Brands Seed Starter Trays Review (Tomoson)

Disclaimer: This post contains Amazon Affiliate Links.



I received the Ramini Brands® Germination Tray - Bonus Tips on Planting Seeds - Seed Starter Pots - Plant Cuttings, in exchange for honest review from Tomoson. I received 3 trays.

I used the seed starter trays to start growing wild flowers, morning glories, and vegetables. Within a few days, my flowers have started sprouting. The product was easy to use. Just add soil, seeds, and water. I have not had any issues with using the product since receiving it. The trays have not cracked or had any damage either. The trays are also reusable after you transfer your plants into a bigger pot.

I chose to plant Morning Glories and Annual Cut Flowers, I got from Home Depot, last week. I also planted one tray with bell peppers and tomatoes. I got some veggie seeds for review a while back and held on to these. The flowers have started sprouting within a few days, while the veggies had no movement. 

I used the potting soil my mother had outside. I added the potting soil to the pots first, then a few seeds per pot, then more potting soil, and finally bottled water.

You can purchase a set of three, using the link above. The trays are reasonably priced and prime eligible.

Emma learns to sprout book review

This post contains Amazon Affiliate links.




I read Kids Book : Emma Learns to Sprout ( children's book about nutrition ) ( Picture Book for Preschool ) ( Ages 3-8 ). I bought the book on a free book day on Amazon. In the book, Emma learned about sprouting. Sprouting is taking seeds from foods and growing them until the seed is bigger.

Emma and her mother sprout lentils and go through the process until the beans are ready to eat.

The book was a quick read. I thought the book would be geared more towards my nephew, who is a vegetarian. His mother is vegan. My sister does grow her own plants, so sprouting would be good for her.

The book also has nice pictures.

You can purchase the book on Amazon in Kindle format only.
