Erin Peat Pots
What is the general feeling on these?
I am using some for the first time, and they are drying out like crazy. I have to water every day at the moment. Is this right ? I was wondering about packing them in newspaper to help retain some of the moisture. Any thoughts. Phil |

Erin Peat Pots
I experimented this year with peat pots, growing foxgloves and ornamental
kale from seeds. I potted half the seedlings into peat pots and the other half into normal small plastic pots. The plants grown in plastic pots are twice as big and healthy as those grown in the peat pots. I struggled to keep the peat pots moist, and resorted to submerging each whole peat pot into another pot of soil, but had no success. I won't be using peat pots again.

Erin Peat Pots
I am using some for the first time, and they are drying out like
crazy. I have to water every day at the moment. Is this right ? I used them this year to great effect. However, I packed them into the trays so much that they were effectively 'square', leaving no space between the pot walls. With this, they kept the moisture easily. - h |
