I don't understand it , the same seed , soil , and growing conditions and the plastic cells far outdo the little strips of 8 peat pots . I like the concept , just slit it and bury it without disturbing the roots too much . But the whole thing doesn't work unless the seedlings actually grow . I planted 4 kinds of peppers in these , multiple seeds per cell because I know they're old and the germ rate is likely low - did the same with some other peppers and the tomatoes in the plastic cells . The peat pots had exactly 2 seeds germinate of probably 64 or more seeds . The plastic were over-run , and in fact all the seedlings now in peat were germinated in plastic . Even allowing for the stress of being moved , they just ain't gettin' it . They have nice color , look good , just aren't growing as fast . I'm wondering if I need some supplemental N or something - maybe a light shot of Miracle Grow , since it's high in N at 24/8/16 . I just don't know what to do at this point , but I'd like to save these seedlings . They're extras to me , but I planned to give them to a neighbor (the one with the rabbits) . He works for a living and doesn't have the time I do to devote to this stuff . I have a barrel I grow cherry tomatoes in.Â* Every year a weed decides it is a nice place to grow and it is.Â* Not an issue because the solid is really loose easy to pull weeds out of. Well this years foolish weed, when I pulled him out, up comes the weed and an intact peat pot. Chuckle Oh ya, and I haven't used peat pots in it for about three years |
