Jiffy 30mm Peat pellets. Good for seed starters
April 11, 2021
I ordered these as i have run out of peat pellets from a previously purchased Jiffy set. Figured i don’t need more domes, and simply order more pellets and re-use.
First impression: looks the same as the one in my previous set, expands the same. Only need to feel it as it expands if it requires a little bit more water to fully expand. Pictures supplied from how it looked arriving, while i was rehydrating a few pellets etc.
It’s still too wet for me to put seeds in so i will update again once seeds are in, and if my seeds sprouted okay.
Note: Bag it came in is not resealable once opened. You can always put unused pellets in a ziploc bag.

Not really practical

This is exactly as advertised. Expensive per pellet and the pellets are too small, you have to be really quick and calculated for transplanting which takes fun out of gardening and can make it stressful. When the starting pots are big it gives you so much time to fudge around if you're busy with life. None of the seeds were root bound because of the air pruning affect so pretty cool. I won't buy these again but I would think certain people would love them. Rooting hormone is a big plus.

Only a few seeds started

I used this product to start some seeds for the garden. Out of 72, only about eight germinated and two of those died very quickly. I had used a similar product but from a different brand earlier in the year to start more of the same seeds, and I had almost all of them start. I do not have a green thumb, so perhaps I did something wrong the second time. But as far as I can tell, the only difference was the brand of seed starter.

A convenient,no mess way to start seeds!

Thank you for your prompt service.
I am in love with these peat pots! I’ve gardened for years and never tried them before.
They’re so convenient,you don’t have the mess associated with pouring potting soil into tiny pots,and they cost less than buying starter pots and dirt! Each hardened puck grows into a netted pot of peat about 7x its size,when you add water. They’re a huge timesaver and a genius invention!

Good deal

These are the larger pellets. If you have the trays at home for the smaller ones, these won’t fit in the circles. But they’re great. I just set up 6 with flower seeds in my window they expanded as expected and other than a higher percentage of larger sticks than I expected, they are amazing for seed starting indoors and then throwing in a pot or right in the ground.

Medium-Size

These were great for my needs - any species will fit in these. The Jiffy 7's that come pre-loaded in a tray are very small plugs. These are about the same height, but wider. 60-70 of them will fill a standard tray, depending if you line them up in neat rows or cram as many in as you can. The only improvement I can suggest is the net is NOT biodegradable.

Not a good purchase

Looks like jiffy 7 I bought before but not the same! I planted my seeds as usual, hardly any grew, and the ones that grew died once it reached about 1 1/2 to 2 inch high. . Something wrong with materiel used in the making of those. I have used jiffy 7 for years with great result, this time to my surprise, it turned out really bad.

Arrived early,

They look great. I have ordered this product before and will again when needed. They are exactly the right size that I need. It is really hard to find this size in most stores. Most of the ones you find in store are 48mm up to 50mm, way to large to fit in most of my tray's. I would recommend this product.

Ok for starting seeds
March 26, 2022
Although these say Jiffy I’m not sure they are the brand name ones. They seem muddier than the ones I normally use and seem to be holding too much water. Only 11 out of 36 that I planted have come up so far. I have replanted to see if more will come up. Could be the seeds I used or other factors as well tho.

excellent product for starter seeds
April 15, 2023
These jiffy peat pellets were amazing and much cheaper for a fraction of a cost than the ones I get from the store. It worked well for my seeds. On the day it arrived, I started planting my seeds and now they are half inch tall. I will buy it again next year. It was delivered earlier than expected.
