Know before you buy
Simply place the pellets in a tray and add warm water. They will expand to their full size within a few minutes, at which point you can drain any excess water and sow your seeds.
No, the pellets are self-contained and provide the necessary medium for germination. They are designed to support the seedling until it is ready to be transplanted into a larger pot or your garden.
Because the roots grow directly into the peat, you can transplant the entire pellet into the ground without disturbing the root system. This significantly reduces transplant shock and helps your seedlings establish themselves faster.
The 36mm size is ideal for starting most vegetable seeds, herbs, and flowers. Once the plant develops its first set of true leaves or the roots begin to show through the netting, it is time to transplant.
Yes, the netting is designed to hold the peat together while allowing roots to grow through it easily. You should plant the entire pellet, netting and all, directly into your soil.
