The team stepped onto the carpet in Season 8, Episode 20 in the episode that aired April 7, 2017. Seedsheet, the sheet of weed-blocking fabric embedded with dissolvable pouches, pitched in the Home & Lifestyle category, one of 260 home & lifestyle businesses to brave the Tank across all 17 seasons.
The ask was $500,000 for 10% of the company, an implied valuation of $5M.
Robert Herjavec made the deal at $500,000 for 20% equity. That priced the company at $2.5M, a haircut from the $5M the founders walked in asking for, which is how negotiations in the Tank usually go.
Season 8 saw 96 pitches, and 59 of them closed a deal on air. In the Home & Lifestyle category overall, roughly 68% of pitches have landed a shark across the show's history.
The full story
Everything to know about Seedsheet
Seedsheet is a roll-out gardening kit designed to take the guesswork out of growing food. The product is a weed-blocking fabric sheet embedded with dissolvable pods that hold pre-selected, pre-spaced seeds. You unroll the sheet over soil, water it, and the pods break down so the seeds sprout exactly where they should, no planning of spacing or layout required. It was created by Cam MacKugler, who wanted a foolproof way for beginners to grow their own vegetables and herbs.
MacKugler came into Season 8 asking for 500,000 dollars for 10 percent. He demonstrated how simple the unroll-and-water concept was, framing it as a fix for the intimidation that keeps people from starting a garden. The sharks saw the appeal of removing skill from the equation, and Robert Herjavec made the deal, putting up the full 500,000 dollars but for a larger 20 percent stake than the founder originally offered.
The product stood out because it reframed gardening as something close to assembling a kit, which made it easy to demonstrate on camera and easy for shoppers to understand. The pre-seeded, pre-spaced design solved a real beginner pain point, and that clarity helped Seedsheet land both a shark and strong retail interest, including time on QVC.
Where Seedsheet is now
Seedsheet used its visibility well at first, securing media coverage and QVC exposure, and reported climbing sales in the years after the show, reaching into the low millions in revenue. Over time the company shifted its lineup away from small container kits toward larger raised-bed sheets and leaned more heavily on selling directly through its own website.
By the mid-2020s the picture became murkier. Independent review sites and complaint pages reported problems with orders not shipping and difficulty reaching customer support, signs of operational strain. The brand's own site has at times marketed larger sheet kits, so the safest read for 2026 is that the concept lived on through direct sales but the company's reliability had clearly declined. Confirm current status before ordering.
Where to buy Seedsheet
If you want to try Seedsheet, the main channel has been the company's own website, where larger raised-bed style sheets have been listed starting around 130 dollars. Given the reported fulfillment and customer-service complaints in recent years, check that the site is active and processing orders before paying. If it is not, you can recreate the idea with seed tape and a garden grid, which delivers the same pre-spaced planting benefit without depending on the brand's current operating status.
