I’d like to use peat pots rather than plastic cups for my seedling. These are the 4” x 4” pots. Anyone have any experience with them?

Peat pots work just fine, though you need to keep an eye on the moisture as they dry out quicker. Also, when planting them into the ground, either remove the top portion of the pot, or make sure you plant it deep and cover it up because the dry top portion of the pot will act as a wick, wicking away moisture from the roots.

I am 100% in LOVE with those Jiffy Peat Pellets. I must've sold 100,000 of them through the years, though never used them myself. I used them a few years back, and I just love them!

One of today's topics is going to be different ways so start plants on the cheap. I have to shovel some snow first though, LOL! :)
