Seed Raising Kit – Upcycled Professional Materials

Start Growing Like the Pros

The Seed Raising Kit is your chance to grow seedlings at home the same way professional nurseries do.

Lovingly hand-curated by gardening YouTuber and reporter Christie Cooper, together with the team at Quality Plants & Seedlings (QPS), this kit is part of an ongoing collaboration to make professional growing techniques more accessible to home gardeners. Ongoing collaboration to support Christie’s social enterprise Growing Healthier Futures is at the heart of this partnership, ensuring your purchase contributes to a greater purpose. Christie has been working closely with QPS—filming in the nursery, trialling different methods, and sharing her authentic experiences with her audience—to ensure the kit is both practical and inspiring.

By combining Christie’s passion for home gardening with QPS’s decades of commercial seedling expertise, this kit gives you the best of both worlds: a professional system designed for everyday gardeners.

Premium Soil Mix – with a Surprise

At the heart of the kit is 1L of professional seed raising soil mix, collected from our seeding machine overflow piles. This is the exact blend used by QPS to grow seedlings for farms across Australia—soil quality you simply can’t buy in stores.

And there’s a fun twist: because the overflow mix often collects stray herb, flower, and veggie seeds, you’ll enjoy the surprise of volunteer plants sprouting alongside your seedlings.

Designed for Sustainability

Every element has been created to be eco-friendly and reusable:

• Upcycled nursery trays cut down from professional stock, giving them a second life.

• Two recycled PP5 drip trays: one with holes for air pruning roots, and one without for catching drips.

• 20 transplant pots for your young plants once they’re ready for the next stage.

• 3 bottle-top watering attachments to turn any drink bottle into a recycled mini-watering can.

This kit is built to last season after season—helping you reduce waste while growing more from seed.

Growing Tips

For the healthiest seedlings, once they reach about 5 cm tall, feed them twice weekly with diluted QPS Pro A & Pro B fertiliser. This provides the balanced nutrition their roots need to thrive.
