Tools and Hardware Reviews of Buzzy Hanging Strawberry Basket
Customer Review: Make your own topsy-turvy planter
Summary: 1 Stars
You can make your own upside down basket way cheaper than this. Just get a hanging basket, punch out a hole in the bottom, take your plant that you have purchased from a garden shop, usually for about 3 or 4 dollars for abut 6 of them, put the plant through the hole with it hanging out of the bottom of the planter, take a sponge, cut it in half, put it in the bottom of the inside of the planter, and put the roots of the plant through the cut in the sponge. This holds the plant in place. Turn the planter over, taking care not to crush the plant, and fill the planter with soil. Then go and hang the planter from some sort of structure that is in the proper light. I saw these instructions on our local morning news show, and the next day I went out and made three of them with tomato plants, and plan to do some more of them with strawberry plants, and some others. The tomato plants are doing well so far, they look really healthy. Sometimes starting with seeds is good, but starting with bedding plants is way faster!Customer Review: Very disappointing results!

I followed the instructions very carefully (and I am experienced at gardening too!) and have had very dismal results. Only two seeds (of 8) germinated, and the plants just don't grow!! They are watered, fertilized, receive plenty of sun, and they just stay the same small stunted seedlings of about 1 inch in height. Growth is aganoizingly slow, and I started these baskets in mid-March and it's now the end of May!!
I also purchased two kits for hanging baskets of flowers, and they have been almost as disppointing. I expected that after 2 1/2 months I would have full flowering baskets, but they are also small and stunted. The extra seeds that were left over, I planted in a seed tray using my own soil. They are doing very well. Obviously this is a problem with the soil provided in the kits.
Never purchase from them again!
Customer Review: Invisible Strawberry Hanging Basket
Summary: 1 Stars
As experienced gardeners, we carefully set up our Buzzy grow kit, and faithfully misted the planted seeds and growing medium. We were especially faithful because this was a gift from our children, and we wanted them to be able to see their gift when they came to visit. What a colossal waste of time and effort. No seed germinated, and we hung the planter in ideal location and tended it every day.
After a month, we planted Morninglory seeds, and they soon jumped up and look great.
This gift might work for some, but we rather think it's a sham marketing ploy.
Probably purchased as a gift in many instances - where the recipients are too embarrassed to make it known what a failure the thing is.
This is, in our considered opinion, a complete sham!
Customer Review: Awful!
Summary: 1 Stars
I purchased this kit from LTD Commodities. It is terrible! The "moss" is a dehydrated block which becomes a big, soggy, falling-apart mess after you rehydrate it per the instructions. And the seeds are nearly microscopic and FEW. Are they made of gold or something that they only give you 5-6 teensy weensy strawberry seeds? Good grief! Don't waste your time.Customer Review: NOT a good product.

I purchased this item with DISMAL results. I followed the instructions to the letter and nothing grew. After a month, I emailed the company, as they said they would guarantee it 100% and replace the seeds. Not only did they not replace the seeds, they never responded to the emails. I suggest steering well clear of the Buzzy Co.
