Description / Park's Original Bio Dome Seed-Starting System
If you're new to using the Bio Dome, let us sing the praises of this, our most POPULAR PRODUCT OF ALL TIME. Customers love it, and even experienced seed starters like us, who have been dropping marigold seeds into the soil since pre-school, have come to make the Bio Dome the ONLY SEED STARTING SYSTEM WE NEED. Here's why:
Climate Control: you can remove the clear vent as the plants grow, but at first, especially if you're starting seeds in late winter, it's a real boost of warmth and humidity. And the two adjustable vents at the top make sure that your plants get good air circulation at all times.
Incredible Rooting Medium: in each hole of the polystyrene planting tray is what we call a "bio sponge," a pre-formed plug of sterile medium with a hole already drilled in the top. The bio sponge is simply the best way we've ever found to reliably germinate and grow on seeds. We plant 1—ONLY ONE—seed in each bio sponge, even for difficult-to-germ varieties, and they nearly always sprout. (The only seeds you don't want to grow in the Bio Dome are those of root vegetables like carrots, beets, and radishes—they need more space to grow their tuber than the bio sponge allows.) In all our years, we've just never had results like this from any other seed-starting medium, and we've tried them all twice. The bio sponge offers the perfect blend of aeration and moisture to help seeds of all kinds grow and cuttings to root.
Bottom Watering: you water the base of this tray, NOT the bio sponges themselves. Put enough lukewarm water into the base so that the polystyrene tray floats. The bio sponges will wick up just the water they need. And as your plants grow, their roots will go down and out, instead of spiraling or fanning out near the surface as you often see with top-watered seedlings. It's impossible to over-water the Bio Dome.
Root Strength: These seedlings form LOTS of roots and grow them straight down and out, so that when it comes time to transplant the seedling, you can see roots sticking out all over the sides and bottom of the bio sponge.
Ease of Transplant: none of this business of transplanting the plug into a pot and then transplanting the plant out of the pot and into the soil. When you start your seeds in the Bio Dome, they can be transplanted straight into their final home. The bio sponge holds together, but the roots fan out easily beyond the sponge and into the garden or container soil.
Refills of the bio sponges and the polystyrene block are available so you can use your Bio Dome for years to come. Starting the Bio Dome is mess-free, easy, and so economical. Whether you want to start your entire garden indoors at winter's end or you just have to root your favorite geranium at season's end, rely on the Bio Dome. You'll be glad you did—we stake our good name on it.
Green base measures: 14 7/8'' long x 9 1/2'' wide x 2 1/4'' high
Clear top measures: 14 7/8'' long x 9 1/2'' wide x 4 1/2'' high

BioDome 94 people found this helpfulI purchased this BioDome several weeks ago when it was on a special. I’m glad I didn’t pay full price for it. I have had a terrible experience. It took forever for the seeds to germinate and they are still tiny. I contacted Park Deed to see if I could return the item and was told they don’t accept returns if the item has been used. I’m not sure how you’re supposed to know if an item works u til you use it. I will be reconsidering any future purchases from Park Seed. I have bought so many seeds over the past few years…but I’m very disappointed in their customer policies.

Plugs Bad Idea 60 people found this helpfulGood first, I like the dome, I'm using it for other starter plants but without the plugs. The bad, the plugs, as others have mentioned, will not breakdown. The roots of seedlings have difficulty forming which harms the young plant and results in stunted growth or death of the plant. The plugs are kept damp to help the rooting process, however the plant roots barely push through the (foam/rubber??) plugs. I do not recommend the plugs, however the dome and dome tray, yes.
Response from store
Thank you for sharing your experience with the Park Bio Dome and sponges. We’re glad to hear you’ve found the dome and tray useful for starting plants, even without the plugs.
We’re sorry to hear the plugs didn’t work out for you and appreciate your feedback. We’ll be passing your comments along to our product team for review.
Your input means a lot to us, and we’re always looking for ways to make our products better. Thanks again for letting us know how we can improve! -
Didn't work well for me. 20 people found this helpfulI tried starting my flower seeds in the Bio Dome for the last two growing seasons with very little success. I thought last year's failure was due to my inexperience but yet I had great success with starting my other seeds in cell packs using seed starting mix. I tried the Bio Dome again this year hoping that I would have better success now that I had a bit more experience growing seedlings. Unfortunately most of the 40 plants I started failed to germinate or thrive. They were too wet and grew algae on top of the sponges. Roots for some of the plants grew long but when I tried transplanting them into the garden, it was difficult to bury the sponges without burying the crown of the plants. I'm unclear as to what I'm doing wrong, but not going to risk failure again and the loss of anymore very expensive flower seeds.

all seeds sprouted. 17 people found this helpfulworks ok.doesn't require lots of work.you have to rotate it daily.you take the tops off pretty soon(3 weeks).i supplement with lights.i needed a way to get efficient germination.parks seed aren't cheap.i've been buying parks seed for about forty years.i need more really big beafsteak tomatos.i'm pleased.

Best product out there 13 people found this helpfulThe biodome has superior germination, plants develop great roots, and it's perfect for my 7a tricky growing season (short, but very hot). I can never get my pumpkins, peppers and longer growing season plants to harvest because the freeze comes before they can fully mature. This year I have really strong and robust seedlings to go outside as soon as the last frost danger has passed! With 90+% germination rate and easy transplanting with the sponges, this system is a no-brainer! I have 100's of seedlings ready to go thanks to me double dome and single dome. I'm so looking forward to harvest this year.

Bio-dome 11 people found this helpfulI wondered how seeds could germinate without being covered, but they germinated very quickly!

100% Germination Achieved 15 people found this helpfulThis system has been 100% successful. I planted exactly 60 tomato seeds and got exactly 60 tomato plants. I have never achieved this level of success. FOOL PROOF. Note: I did use heating pads and timed light in a well heated room.
-
Game changer 15 people found this helpfulI used the same lighting for my seedlings as always, but the one change was using this seed starting solution. The results have been amazing. Almost 100% germination. Fast growth with really strong root systems. After transplanting my first batch of tomato seedlings to larger pots, I now have sturdy, stocky, thick stemmed plants that look better than anything I’ve found in a nursery. Amazing results.
-
Bio Dome Makes Seed Starting Simple 12 people found this helpfulI have used the Bio Dome before so I ordered another one so that I can try to start my own annual flowers. As we all know purchasing them from nurseries is quite expensive. Wax begonias are one of the few flowers that deer have yet to feast on so I mainly purchased this 60 cell dome for them. I also put in some sweet alyssum and ageratum seeds. All of these seeds are quite small and take a long time to germinate. I did not anticipate the pelleted alyssum seeds to germinate after only three days! Time will tell about the others. The Bio Dome makes the whole process easy. No mess and no guessing on how much seed starter to use. I was very pleased with the Dome I used two years ago and when the time is right my vegetable seeds will go into that one.
-
Great purchase 7 people found this helpfulSaw this as I was long for wave petunia seeds and thought I’d give it a try. Previously when I planted seeds I’d use seed starter soil in peat pots and only got about 25 to 50% success rate with petunias. I planted this year’s using bio dome and all seeds have sprouted in a week. I did use a heat mat too. Only complaint is a week after purchase, it went half price. Will buy another one for my son.
-
Excellent! 8 people found this helpfulVery sturdy, solidly made and likely to last for years. Ideal for my needs. I'm starting very small seeds (African Violets and Gloxinias) which can get easily lost in other seed starting equipment. This seed starter gives me nearly 100% germination and provides more than enough growing space for them. (They are very small seeds though. A larger version would be better for larger seeds.)
-
Worth ten stars! 7 people found this helpfulHoley moley. I opened my Biodome and inserted 18 Park Seed cucumber seeds not even 48 hours ago. Ten have already germinated! I douse a grow light and electric warming mat.
-
Bio domes 11 people found this helpfulUsed them for years and always had healthy seedlings, while they work great, the quality of the plugs have gone down hill, broken plugs, some are difficult to find the hole. They use to be nice shape not crumbling. And yes as the quality goes down the price goes up,plus shipping. Think this is the last year I’ll be using them.
-
Wonderful! 4 people found this helpfulMy seedling are growing beautifully! I’m very happy with my Bio Dome. It’s working so much better than I expected!
-
Great Starter! 5 people found this helpfulI bought this as my first attempt at growing my vegetables for the spring/summer from seed. Super easy and so far I've got lettuce, eggplant and peppers germinating! Just waiting for them to be ready to start to harden in a few weeks.
-
Dream come true 5 people found this helpfulBought the biodome specifically for sprouting hot peppers. Been growing hot peppers 30+ years and have used every method out there for germination and this beats everything. I am honestly stunned with the results. Using the BioDome I had 100% germination. Super hot peppers starting at habanero and going up germinated 100%. Including new this year chocolate bhutlah seeds - every seed germinated! 10 different Aji chilies all germinated. All planted with only two seeds per cell. Very impressed. So much so I just purchased the 120 sell biodome and will be using this system exclusively for germinating. Thank you for such an awesome product!
-
Bio dome and seed 3 people found this helpfulProduct easy to set up not sure if “success” story yet. Haven’t started seeds early before so this is an experiment for me. So far seedlings are leggy.
-
Best seed starter ever! 7 people found this helpfulI just ordered my 2nd set (2 - 40 cell dome kits). The bio-dome system works fantastic. Seeds germinate and grow easily, and are easy to transplant into the yard. I ordered my first set of bio domes about 10 years ago. Each season since then I have grown seedlings. The sun has weathered the plastic covers over the years so that finally both tops cracked and one recently broke into pieces. Hence the replacements. I was pleased that the first set lasted so long. You will be happy with the bio dome system. Be sure to order extra plugs so you will have them for the 2nd round of plantings.
-
Great seed starter!!! 6 people found this helpfulAmazing. I've started seeds any way you can imagine. This kit is great. I've already started and transplanted my first round and started a whole new tray! If you have an addiction to plants...this will NOT make it better!
-
Works & excellent customer service 6 people found this helpfulWorks great as all my seeds sprouted so easily, 5 stars for that. This item is way overpriced at $39.95 as the quality of construction doesn't justify the high price. It should be priced at around $19.95. My item arrived with many scratches on the side of the clear dome and very wet grow sponges when they should've been dry. I messaged Park seed and they responded quickly and told me they would send out with no cost new dry sponges which was very nice of them. My main complaint is that they also should've sent a new dome also since my arrived with many scratches. I am disappointed in that they didn't do the right thing to please a new customer and therefore I will be hesitant to order any other products from them in the future.

Huge Sticker on side of Dome 7 people found this helpfulWe have been using the 40 count bio domes for many years for germinating our daylily seeds. This past shipment had huge stickers advertising Park Seed on the side of the dome. We do not want something blocking the light from getting to the new seedlings so tried to remove the sticker with goo gone. It totally ruined the entire brand new dome fogging up the clear plastic. Very disappointed to see this sticker on the new domes we are purchasing to let light through, not block it.
-
disappointed 4 people found this helpfulStarting seeds early is important in my short growing season, so after careful consideration I decided it would be worthwhile to splurge on a BioDome for the seeds most important to my gardening plans. I planted new seed of several varieties in the BioDome, following instructions. By the time I realized the germination rate across all varieties was going to be less than 50%, I had lost the time advantage of starting the seeds early. I also used a couple of flimsy but less-expensive popular brands of starting trays - one with expanding peat plugs and one with a seed-starting mix - and had almost 100% germination. I don't know why this BioDome didn't work for me, but it was an expensive experiment and I am very disappointed.
-
Good but Be Warned 6 people found this helpfulThese are amazing for good germination. I have excellent germination rates with them and I'm happy with the clean design and simplification for seed starting. However, when you have small, slender root stems these growing plugs will retard growth after germination. I now remove most of the plug gently when potting up my starts in soil. If I don't they will take weeks longer to grow and flower. I wish they told me this - as a newer gardener I thought it was the seeds/ plants that needed all that time. This year I have a much better experience removing some or most of the plug, being careful of the roots that I can see
-
the best purchase 2 people found this helpfulI swear by this. It's the easiest way to start seedlings. No use of potting soil. Heavy grade plastic that isn't flimsy and doesn't break.
-
Very disappointed 6 people found this helpfulI purchased this seed starting system, set it up according to instruction on a warming mat with a proper grow light overhead, used the fertilizer that came with it and everything did awful. I just threw my dead tomatoes away this morning and I felt really bad doing it. My peppers are turning all yellow and I'm not sure I can salvage them. I went to a local greenhouse and purchased healthy plants from them. I am throwing this entire system into the trash and I warn people, do not buy this. The styrofoam section where the sponges sit is all green and nasty looking. I do not recommend and really wish I could get a refund for this awful system. I always took pride in being able to say that I grew my plants from seeds when I would share my bounty but I can't say that this year.
-
Didn't work for me 7 people found this helpfulAbout two thirds of the (Park) seeds germinated, but were weak and leggy. When transplanted the seedings died.
-
Just Started Seed Starter 2 people found this helpfulLikes: Most seeds germinated I finally start seeds early (e.g. Feb or even Jan) I can transplant the whole plant to new pot or ground Vents allow differences in humidity Dislikes: Not a lot of height for tall growing seeds Small seeds struggle to germinate compared to large seeds (reason for 4 instead of 5 stars)
-
You changed your "Plugs" 5 people found this helpfulI have bought plugs from Park Seed for 5 years. Always got a 95% germination success using the park seed dome system. This year I bought plugs as usual, Plugs were broken in the bag. Plugs feel apart and when the seeds started to sprout the plant had fungus or mold on them. I was only getting a 30% success on my germination. Very sad. I excepted you to ship the same plugs as in the past. Why did you change plugs??? I need to find a new system ASAP
-
Bio-dome 40 20 people found this helpfulJust day 5 after I started 15 pepper plants and 10 have germinated. Also planted 10 Lemon cucumbers, they've all germinated well. Planted another 10 Jalapeno and 10 Sweet Peppers two days ago, this my first bio-dome system works very well. It's on my workbench in shop under 4' LED, on a 12 hour timer. I put a 14" x 18" Pet Warmer pad underneath, which I believe is helping. I highly recommend these bio-dome systems to anyone looking to start there seeds early.

Plants in Stasis 22 people found this helpfulI've used the Bio Dome system for 3 years, and up until this year I'd have recommended it to anyone. This year, I can't recommend it. I grow tomatoes for a nonprofit organization's plant sale, which is their major fund-raiser, so it's important that the plants look really good by the time of the sale. In 2020 and 2021, the tomatoes looked great right from the start. This year, the tomatoes germinated beautifully, then went into stasis, not even developing true leaf primordia for nearly 3 weeks. Once they started growing, they did fine, but losing those 3 weeks means they won't reach the size they should by the sale. This happened with 2 varieties of tomatoes (which I'd previously successfully grown in Bio Domes) and 2 sowing dates, so it was repeated. I also started both varieties both times in peat pellets -- plus an additional time to make up for the "hibernating" plants -- and they developed completely normally, so there was nothing wrong with the seed or my growing conditions. All seeds were grown under controlled conditions of light and temperature. There's something in the sponges this year that causes the seedlings to stall out. While this might not be a problem for someone growing plants for themselves, it's definitely something I can't risk in the future. This year's sponges also were not of the quality of past years. They were flimsy, squashed so the holes weren't obvious -- and soaking didn't help that -- tore easily, and some were in pieces in the package. I loved the system before -- I definitely don't love it now.

Two Weeks In 15 people found this helpfulThis is perfect for people just starting out working from seeds, or people who want to cut out some of the work. I spent maybe an hour soaking the plugs and dropping the seeds into the holes. In just days I got my first sprouts and so far, they all look happy. I don't mind having to transfer them into a bigger cups to later sow into the ground. I use a grow light with 5:1 red and blue light. Soon I'll be able to put them into direct sunlight!
-
Not a magic bullet 7 people found this helpfulEasy to plant and grow seedlings, however, the plugs themselves never break down. In addition, my plastic dome chipped when I set it down on my deck. I found that to be disappointing.
-
The real deal 9 people found this helpfulI bought the 18 cell biodome in my first effort to grow my garden from seed. In prior years I had bought my plants from one of the big box stores. I started my pepper plants and all 18 cells had at least one pepper germinated within 7 days. At the nearly 3 week mark all the plants look very healthy and I’m a little disappointed to have to thin the sponges that have multiple peppers growing. My tomatoes germinated in 4 days, much to my surprise. I would highly recommend the biodome to anyone looking to start seeds.
-
Biodome 9 people found this helpfulI am very pleased with the price, ease of use, and how it is working so far. My seedlings are working almost 100% compared to last year this is a much better return on my investment. Seeds are expensive but this system has so far worked great. Very happy with the results.
-
Nice Unit 7 people found this helpfulI've just planted my first seeds in the Bio Dome. it seems well made and appears durable enough to go for many years. I'll know more in a few months but am happy as of now.
-
Great product but... 18 people found this helpfulI love the product and it is easy to start the seeds, which germinate very well in the bio domes. I have both the single 60 cell and the double 120 cell domes. If a preference were to be had, I'd only use the singles. The doubles seem to not germinate as well and as plants grow, they get too crowded, fighting for light even though I have the lights close to them as they grow. I'm trying the 40 cells in those this year and 18 cell for my tomatoes as the tomatoes grow much too quickly for the 60 cells. I have had issues with white mildew that grows on the sponges which not even increasing air circulation with fans seems to help stop it. Ended up using a copper fungicide regularly when it happens to keep it under control last year. Lastly, the sponges are a fantastic idea but they do not disintegrate in the garden even after the plant has produced and died. I find myself digging them out and burning them when re-mulching the garden in the following spring. If I had a wish, I would wish the sponges were biodegradable.... wondering if anyone else has a better solution to the sponges as this was quite the investment. I'd like to find a less expensive and biodegradable solution to fill the holes in the future.
-
SUPER 0 people found this helpfulReceived fast and timely manner. Good pod size, should get a good root system. Thanks
-
not what I hoped 7 people found this helpfulPackaged nicely, and I was very excited at the propects of strong early seedlings. I did get just that, but I used a heat mat and LED light too so I'm sure that helped immensely. My disappointment is the sponges don't break down as expected after planting out and I still find them in beds. Won't use them again. Instead I used the dome part to raise Monarch butterflies. I'll use Jiffy Peat pellets in their little greenhouse on my mat and under the light for future seed starting.
-
Mixed review 10 people found this helpfulAlthough I’m continuing to use the the greenhouse setup, I’ve discontinued using the starter plugs. They end up getting pulled out of the ground by critters easily when I transfer them to the garden. The plugs don’t seem to be breaking down. A year later they’re still sitting on top of my soil where they were pulled out.
-
Well built 1 people found this helpfulSeems to be quiet functional, waiting on seeds
-
Great Product 6 people found this helpfulI've been using this product for several years with very good results. There is no mess, and my seeds germinate quickly than with other systems I've tried. I wish the sponges were biodegradable. I hope this can be altered in the future because that is important to me, and it's why I gave it 4 stars instead of 5. The cost of the sponges isn't an issue for me because I would spend that much on seed starting mix, but that is messier.
-
I love these 4 people found this helpfulI'm a bit confused on the sun yellowing comment. I've had my original 60 ct for at least a decade. I have purchased more over the years and have had my "new" ones since 2016 or so. I don't use them for zucchini, cuc, corn or other easy to start stuff. I look for new varieties of tomato etc this years "Trust" is $5 for 5 seeds... I have a heat mat and fluorescent lights great germination. Plants grow stout and strong. I have used my clear covers over tomatoes in the garden for unexpected frosts. I have floated one with lettuce etc in my aquarium for a mini aquaponic set up. I can fill the reservoirs and be gone a week or more without my babies dying. I have put my tomatoes in the top of the aquarium, when I didn't get them planted out (where I have a drip system on a timer, serious garden addict here) before leaving on a trip for 3 weeks... Everything made it!
-
Not Messy 2 people found this helpfulI have both original biodome and double biodome. I have used many different growing methods. Jiffy Pete pellets. Potting mix. They are the least messy
-
Top cracked 3 people found this helpfulI got the Bio Dome Seed-Starting System about 2 months ago. The top is so sensitive. With barely any pressure on it, the top cracked straight down the center. Disappointing
-
Amazing product! 0 people found this helpfulLast year i started trying to grow my own seeds as opposed to fully grown plants. I had limited success because i used a cheap method. This year I decided to buy the Bio Domes and they have worked out amazingly! My germination rate has been extremely high and the seedlings have great root systems that extend all the way down the growth sponge. I am looking forward to future years of great growing from seed with these!
-
Very good product 2 people found this helpfulI used the 40 cell one to start tomatoes, eggplant, peppers and some basil. Worked beautifully. So nice bit to have to deal with any type of soil. All I’ll use from now on.
-
Annoyed With Shipping 5 people found this helpfulI purchased several for gifts, after receiving the one for my own gardening. In order to save shipping space, I suppose, the kits were taken apart and sandwiched together, with the paperwork missing, so I have to go online and print the info out for each kit gifted. Not to mention my annoyance with the gazillions of tiny styrofoam balls that got caught inside the parts. I had to wash everything, tray, cover, bag of plugs, etc. to get the sticky tiny white balls off before gifting. Now, how to get that mess off the floor and furniture in the house? The kits are pretty nice, all in all, but don't order more than one at a time. You will be sorry.
-
Not Perfect 6 people found this helpfulThe theory is great. The application not so much. My seeds start fast in the spongy cylinders. That's a plus. Finding the spongy cylinders looking nearly new in my garden two years later - a definite negative. They apparently are not biodegradable. They also seem to be a magnet for my tiller tines, because I have to pull them off the tines frequently the following year!! Improvements seem necessary.
-
great product, easy to used, only problem the clear cover turn yellow . 3 people found this helpfulbought in 2016, still works even with the Yellow cover, sun damage makes the plastic brittle, will be ordering a new 60, maybe a thicker cover or one of the new plastic material. something to think about, but 4 years of used, not bad. I give it 4 stars only because of the plastic cover, they are cracking now, the other parts of the Dome is holding up fine. thank for having this product
-
Cheap looking 4 people found this helpfulThis looks like it came straight out of China! It came with all those styrofoam nuggets for packaging!! I hate those. You would think that a company that is all about planting seeds would come up with a more eco-friendly packaging. Also, a piece of the dome was broken off. I had sent Parks an email regarding the fertilizer(was it organic) and never got a response.
-
WOW!!!! I'm impressed!!! 8 people found this helpfulI bought my 40-cell biodome because of the height of the top, but feeling a little skeptical about the build-up of it. After all, it was just a place to start my seeds, right? Well, when I received my new biodome two days ago, was I ever surprised and impressed!!! The packaging was fantastic and my biodome arrived in perfect condition, as did the seeds I'd ordered along with it. I planted cosmos and poppies, thinking that I wouldn't see any sprouts for at least a week. Well, not even 48 hours after planting my seeds in my new biodome, I've got flowers sprouting in my kitchen! And, here in Northern Michigan just days before Christmas, that's saying something!!!!! I'm getting a grow lamp this week so I can grow my flowers indoors, and when other people are thinking about planting their seeds to set outdoors, I'll be enjoying blooming cosmos and poppies in my den, all thanks to this wonderful biodome! I just wish it came large enough to attach to my house so I could have a full-sized greenhouse!
-
Too much hype. 27 people found this helpfulDo the seed grow? Yes. But after years using the large cells, I kept finding that unless you break them apart (and risk damaging the roots) the large sponges will stay intact on the ground for years, long after the plants are compost. I have tried them with all kinds of vegetable from artichokes to zucchini and it's always the same. Why did I use them for years? The domes are a large investments (mostly because of the price of the sponges). Now, I roll some pieces of paper towel or newspaper, insert them in the holes and fill them with soil. The smaller sizes some times will break apart, but being that I'm into organics finding sponges intact makes me question exactly what they are made off.
-
So easy. 2 people found this helpfulThis thing is working like a charm. So confident and easy. Will be ordering more sponges. Maybe another dome as well.

18 cell bio dome 5 people found this helpfulBought three total so I could grow my own transplants and was very excited with my success. Grew tomatoes, chard, lettuce, onions(60 cell dome), and an assortment of herbs. My germination rate was unreal! Very easy to grow and very easy to transplant-strong and vigorous plants. Follow the directions and enjoy.
-
So easy - so neat and so clean! 7 people found this helpfulLast night I planted seeds in my new bio dome seed starters! I just loved how easy and neat it was! No mess to clean up. Cut my work and prep time to a third! Very excited to order the planting medium to start seeds for fall crops since this is reusable!
