36mm Peat Pellets - 100 Count

Earlier this year I bought a Jiffy 72 pod greenhouse and started a mini garden with the kids. We have a second grow season in FL and wanted to go again but Jiffy pods were all out all over the place or marked up in pricing. These pods fit perfectly into the green house and I prefer them already over the actual Jiffy pods. These expand much faster than the Jiffy pods and are much easier/better to take apart. The Jiffy pods are a cloth like material that has a tendency to pull off root runners when removing the material. These use more of a mesh material that allowed the running roots to remain attached and slide right through the mesh when it was removed. Same seed varieties in different pods also performed better in these vs the Jiffy putting out more roots and growing taller in the same time frame.

So convenient! Came in a thick ziplock bag. No wasted packaging. These perfect little peat tablets that suck up water and instantly expand. The netting around them is easy to tear. I planted 2 packages of seeds in minutes. When they sprout I will update. Just tear the netting off at transplant time. No mess. No gloves. No shovels.No filling individual pods. Just one large tray..add water. Stick the seed in. Done. Edit...I planted on May 24th. I had them in a tray outside with a cover and a burlap scrap over the top to keep it from getting too much sun while I was gone. These updated pics are 3 DAYS layer, the 27th of May. Not only are they sprouting but the tap root is already out the bottom on some! I have NEVER seen seeds sprout so quickly!

Works really well, holds moisture almost too well, but the shell is made of plastic. For an organic gardener this is really cringe.

The netting on these pellets didn't pull apart upon saturation, as has happened this year with the leading brand, of which I also bought several hundred pellets. The netting on the leading brand has square holes in it, where the netting comes together, causing them to often pull apart as the pellet expands. Wanted a smaller size, mainly for flowers. Bought these. I was pleased with outcome. have used them thus far to "up pot" snapdragon infants grown in a plastic blueberry container and to seed about a hundred perennial seeds (echinacea, rudbeckia/black-eyed Susans, foxgloves, yarrow, and many others plus another 100+ annual seeds (geraniums, gomphrena, coleus, asters-- things that need more time before first front date...) . Will soon buy larger size to start more veggie starts. I never write reviews; I felt compelled to do so this year. I'm sick of the netting on the side seam of the name brand bursting open, upon expansion. Buy these and you won't have to worry about that happening. Also, I don't use any plastic underlayment or domes. I germinate the pellets in an old plastic swifter container, with a plastic lid (wet mop pads are sold in these containers). I check the boxes every day. Upon germination, I place pellets in a small Garland seed tray, e.g., the one with holes in the bottom. Then I place that tray in a heavy duty 1020 tray. 3 small Garland trays fit into a 1020 tray. This method makes bottom watering a snap. The pellets also don't get as saturated as they do sitting on the plastic underlayment traditionally sold for them. Cuts down on algae formation and diseases, particularly dampening off.

I put them in a bowl of water and let them swell up When it dries I take off the netting, crush them up like potting soil. I plant my seeds that way Works much better.

These make sowing seeds very easy and fun. but....germination rates are in question right now. hope things sprout. so far not so good. buy these for ease of use but be wary.

These pellets are amazing and cheap. I have a 100% success rate germinating cannabis seeds in them. Simply soak the pellets in water, squeeze out excess water, place seed directly below surface, and place on a heating mat. They will be popped within 48hrs. Make sure the pellets stay moist but not too wet.

High quality peat pellets to start my garden seeds. Much better than other brands I’ve used!
