I wanted to share my experience with the AvoSeedo "boat" :-) First, I have to say it was the perfect gadget to get my kids into gardening and away from the TV. I also bought some additional once as Christmas present for the kids in my family. All 3 of my pits sprouted within 2 months and after transferring them into a pot they are already growing like crazy. Now I know that it will take a long while and an additional tree to get a chance on actually getting fruit from it, but the plant itself is beautiful and I was reading on the AvoSeedo page how to dwarf an avocado tree. I have some pictures attached. This was also the first time that my pit has not getting moldy as it did when I used toothpicks or just through them into soil. I can really recommend the AvoSeedo especially if you have kids or you are just lazy and don't want to supervise the water level on a daily basis. Hope that helps :-)
