a great product for those without green thumbsDec 25, 2000
By J. Jacobson these are a wonderful starter for those who have no green thumbs, and i would also guess for those who have them.just add water and they expand and allow the seeds to be covered. the greenhouse works great in an apartment..i can have it in the window and not have to worry about any drafts. i am using it to make a small herb garden, and so far everything is growing well. its the first seeds ive ever planted that didnt die within the first week.

Good for starting seedsJan 25, 2009
By O. Long I liked this product a lot. The only problem I had was that when watered it didnt spread evenly so I had to overwater. However, 19 out of my 25 plants sprouted.

peat pots are the way to goMay 30, 2010

I bought this product in a 72 pot size last year. I am a beginning gardener with moderate experience growing, but little experience using my own seedlings. I had GREAT success in my new outside beds using the seeds I germinated with Jiffy peat pots. I could see a huge difference in the quality of my own lettuce, basil and squash that I planted using the pots vrs. the starts I got at a local garden store. My basil leaves were dark luxurious and 4 times the size of the garden store starters.
I tried to start carrots with the pot. I thought perhaps if I tore the netting on the bottom, there would be no problem. I was wrong! I grew weird misshapen carrots! I put them in a chicken soup and they were yummy... just weird looking.
Sooo... then I ran out of peat pots. I used some from a local garden shop that were expensive when you buy them individually and NOT AS GOOD! I got about 40% germination.
I tried to fill the bottom with "seed starter" planting mix and got good germination, but the plants were fragile and only very few lived long enough to make it into my beds this year. I was on this site today to buy the actual Jiffy peat pots to give this another try with the same elements that gave me so much success the first time.
If you want some great inspiration for easy, successful, raised garden beds, search for "Square Foot Gardening" on Amazon. I have garden beds on my driveway! I get a great yield out of a small space.

Best plants ever!Feb 07, 2010
By K. Carriger This is the first year my husband used these starter pots and they produced the best plants ever. We used 100 watt fluorescent bulbs in gooseneck lamps for the light and the plants look so much better than the other set right next to it in regular small pots. Didn't need any heat to start my plants so the plastic tray was not an issue. Highly recommended.

Greenhouse?Oct 14, 2009
By John A.

The pellets are excellent, just be careful not to let your seedlings get root-bound. I would recommend buying the pellets separately and investing in a decent propagation kit with a heating pad instead of this. It's not a mini greenhouse, just some flimsy plastic that wont support the weight of your seedlings. The plastic also creases easily and becomes too pliable when exposed to heat. Unfortunately heat is part of the process, so spring for the better kit with a heat pad.
