Plug popping perfection!!!
Where has this been all my life? We love this handy dandy contraption. So easy to use and no damage to your plugs.

Fantastic as always!
It was incredibly simple and easy to use. The quality is awesome, as usual… I use over 400 microgreen trays and their condition is far superior to all other companies!
