Real reviews from 32 Vault buyers

Verified buyers of the 32 Vault, quoted word for word.

This is a wonderful set of seeds for gardeners and survivalists. You get 32 different kinds of vegetables in all, and these are heirloom seeds. That is, you can save your own seeds as they will reproduce true to form, unlike hybrids. They are non-GMO.

I was looking for seeds for my hydroponics setup, and I came upon this large variety pack of seeds from HOME GROWN. I have only planted a few of the seeds so far (a couple of the lettuces and cucumber), but they've all germinated and grew into healthy plants in my hydroponics setup.

I got these seeds a little to late in the season to plant outside in my area. However, I did decide to try some under my grow lights and so far, everything I've planted has germinated and sprouted.

Frequently asked questions

Does the seed go bad?

Not on a set date. Seed is alive, and its germination rate drops a little each year, faster in heat and damp. Stored cool, dry and sealed, most of these keep strong germination for about 3 to 6 years from packing; onions about one, peppers, okra and corn about two (Illinois Extension). Older seed can still grow: test 10 seeds first, and sow more thickly if only 7 to 9 sprout. For the strongest seed, keep the pouch sealed in a jar or bag in the fridge, below 45 F, let it warm to room temperature before you open it, and plant the faster-fading crops first.

What's in the Tea & Aromatic Herb pack?

32 herbs for tea, cooking and fragrance, each in its own packet:

Tea herbs: German chamomile, Munstead and Vera lavender, common mint, echinacea (purple coneflower), anise, fennel, white yarrow

Not every plant in the pack is for the teapot. Chinese forget-me-not and California poppy are grown for their flowers, so read each packet before you brew anything.

What's in the Lettuce & Salad Greens pack?

20 lettuce and salad green varieties, 21,600+ seeds in one resealable pouch. It covers romaine, butterhead, crisphead and leaf lettuces, including Buttercrunch, Red Romaine and Prizehead, plus greens like arugula, kale, spinach and Swiss chard. About 12 of them aren't in the vault. Greens are quick and cool-season friendly, so this is the pack to sow first in spring and again in fall.

Why marigolds in a vegetable bundle?

Crackerjack is a tall African marigold with big orange, yellow and gold blooms on sturdy stems, about 15,000 seeds (2.05 oz) per pack. Gardeners plant marigolds at the ends of vegetable rows for color, for cutting and to bring in bees and butterflies; they may also help deter some common garden pests. Sow after your last frost, in full sun.

What comes in each pouch?

Each vault is a waterproof, resealable mylar pouch with every variety in its own paper packet, so you can open one crop at a time and keep the rest sealed. Each packet is labeled with the variety and its packed-for date. Scan the QR code on the pouch for the growing guide.

Can I save seed from what I grow?

Yes. Every variety is open-pollinated, so saved seed grows into plants much like the parent. Beans, peas, tomatoes and peppers are the easiest to start with. Squash and pumpkins cross with each other, so grow one kind if you want to save its seed, and carrots and beets take two seasons to make seed. Seed you save yourself is best planted within a year; the longer figures on this page are for the packed seed in the pouch.

When should I plant?

Cool-season crops like peas, spinach, lettuce and cabbage go in early, while the weather is still cool. Warm-season crops like tomatoes, peppers, squash and corn wait until after your last frost. With both kinds in the pouch, there's something for spring, summer and fall plantings.

Is there a growing guide?

Yes. Scan the QR code on the pouch to open the growing guide.

How do shipping and returns work?

Every bundle on this page ships free, and so does any order of 2 or more items from this page. The 32 Vault on its own pays standard shipping. Every order also comes with our 30-day satisfaction guarantee: if you're not happy with your seeds, contact us within 30 days of delivery for a free replacement or a refund of the product price.

What if the seeds don't come up?

Test a packet when your pouch arrives: put 10 seeds on a damp paper towel, fold it into a plastic bag and keep it somewhere warm. After the usual sprouting time for that crop, count how many have started to grow. If all 10 sprout, plant as normal; if 7 to 9 do, sow a little more thickly (Illinois Extension). If 6 or fewer do, tell us within 30 days of delivery and our 30-day satisfaction guarantee applies. After that, our Spring Germination Promise: if any packet doesn't come up when planted as the packet directs, tell us within 12 months of delivery and we'll send a replacement free.

How do the bundle discounts work?

Prices drop as you add items, compared with buying each item on its own: 3 or 4 items are 10% off, 5 to 7 items are 15% off, and 8 or more are 20% off. Any order of 2 or more items from this page ships free, and the line above the add-ons always shows where you stand. Bundle pricing runs through March 31, 2027.
