This is a fantastic product, but yet someone posts a one star review for the product because they found it cheaper somewhere else. The review is for the product. If the product is excellent, you don't give it one star!! Amazon should just delete those kinds of reviews that aren't relevant to the quality of the product.

What I like about these is the sprouts that come out of them seem stronger and they can continue to grow from this pellet right to the garden. The little plastic solutions are good, but they require transplant or the plants grow right through the bottom and you have to damage the roots to get them out if you leave them too long.

That said, a good plastic base with egg cartons works surprisingly well. The cartons hold water well because they absorb it like a sponge and the roots can't push through the bottom.

You can get these peat pellets in different plastic growing containers ready to go, which I found incredibly useful and the container kits are cheap! The peat pellets hold water for an incredibly long time keeping a moist environment for the plants longer than even my egg carton solution. If you want easy sprouting, this is the way to go.

Nice product good for growing cuttings or starting seeds. Just water and watch these lil pellets swell up before your eyes. So easy to transplant too! Peat moss is good for encouraging root growth and I am having great sucess starting seeds with these.

I had some of these that I bought in case I ever needed them. They were easy to toss in a drawer in the greenhouse and were ready to go when I did need them. They are an effective way to start seeds.

Just don't allow the seeds to bury themselves so far down in the material that they can never find their way to the light of day. That's true no matter what kind of seed-starting material you use, of course.

These pellets are at least 30% larger than the pellets in the kits at the hardware store. Other than that they are exactly the same.
This is a good value. There is enough peat here to really get the plant started while the ones at the hardware store are almost too small for most seeds.

Now, if only the heat mats were a reasonable price.

I looked high and low for these peat pellets on-line and was so happy to find them here. These actually are a great way to start your seedlings; and you can't beat the price.

I do use them for starting seeds indoors and they work well. The one thing I don't like is the mesh. It's supposed to decompose but years later, some still show up. I found a solution, as soon as the roots of the little plant start to show I take off the mesh (carefully). When the plants are ready to plant outside I never have a problem getting the peat to stay together. As to the person complaining about the price, I agree. Walmart now has the small size in 36 count boxes for a lot less per pellet and that's without the shipping. Bulk prices should reflect the fact that you are buying in bulk.

its a great all in one seed starter. Simply add water, then put the seed in the center and you are set!

Great for planting seed starts not like rigid peat cups that do not let the roots grow through them these are great especially for a learning tool for kids :)

These were exactly what we needed. We got some cookie pans with a clear plastic cover and almost 100% of our tomato, pepper and bean seeds started growing within a couple weeks. They are a bit bigger than the traditional ones. Measuring about 2.5 inches tall and 1.5 inches wide. Just make sure to keep them moist as they act like a sponge.

These are the shorter peat pellets but they work great to get seeds started for easy transplanting when the time comes to move the plants out doors.
