Convinenet if you grow a lot with limited manpower.
March 13, 2023
Pellets may not be the most economic solution to growing seedlings, but these pellets are extremely convenient and can be life saving if you don't have the manpower or the room to use other methods. Using warm water also speeds up soaking and can help save time even more.
I've ordered this 2 or 3 times so far and the product quality is generally very good. Out of 1000, maybe a handful might turn out faulty and unusable (ex. ripped fabric). Overall I find this product to be very reliable if you need pellets in bulk.
The fabric pockets don't dissolve easily so you can let seedlings grow in these for a couple months or more and have no issues. The downside is that the said fabric pouch does not seem to disintegrate that quickly in soil either. Also seem to take a few months to rot away in a composter too. I haven't had any issues because of it, but out of caution I rip the pouches a bit when I transplant my seedlings.
I would highly recommend these if you are growing lots of seedlings by yourself with a limited space.

These pellets were bigger than expected.
March 29, 2022
I ordered 2 boxes because, even after shipping, they are cheaper per unit than buying retail. They are a little bigger than I expected, but they still fit 6 across in the seed starter kit I purchased previously. I’ve included a picture to show the difference between the pellets that came with my seed tray (smaller)and these. Please note I ripped the tops of the fabric, they came perfectly intact. Package arrived on time and well wrapped.

Pellets fit larger tray size
March 14, 2021
I did not realize these pellets comes in two slightly different and I have the trays for the smaller size but that was my mistake and I am very happy with the product and they arrived before the expected date . In future I will buy the trays that fit the larger pellets

Bigger than expected

They are good. But after sowing this years harvest... I am going to go straight to soil. I guess there is very little nutrients in peat.. and large tap roots don't do well in the mesh. Oh well. Shouldn't have purchased so much! I'll use these up and not do peat again!

Larger pod for starting seeds.
March 11, 2023
Larger pod than the standard pod sold in 36 pack containers. Got about 800 seedlings off to a good start last year. Suggest soaking with a solution of hydrogen peroxide, when rehydrating, to kill off any moulds lurking.
Good price.

Best price per piece by far
June 27, 2020
That's a lot of peat pods. If you can justify needing 1000 pieces, price per piece blows away retailers like Home Depot. Up to 30 cents or more per pod. Keep them dry and I'm sure they don't go bad.

They dont fit in the Jiffy greehouse bottoms.
March 11, 2020
I bought these as replacements for pods But they dont fit in the holes of the mini Jiffy GreenHouse from Canadian Tire. I need smaller one, but I can't find they in the 1000 box.

Amazingly fast delivery!

Arrived in less than 48 hrs. With prime was the cheapest option available. I use these every year and purchase a box of 1000 every 2-3 years- they are a super way to start seeds!

Bigger than expected

I bought these to refill the greenhouse tray I bought last year. They are much too big to fit into the moulded part of the tray. So I just put them straight into the flat tray.

Best size for my application

best price I could find. Fast delivery. I have used many different Peat Pellets but always find myself going back to the Jiffy 7 as they seem to work the best for me.
