Perfect little planters and they were more cost efficient than other seed starters. Biodegradable a plus

Never again
It was a mistake buying these. They dry out way too fast, and tear too easy when wet. I think I'll throw the rest in the garbage.

    Fungus/mushroom prone
    I bought these to start my marigolds and other garden vegetables before the last frost. They did great as starters but the packaging encourages you to plant them in their peat strip as the roots can grow through them and they should break down over time. DONT DO IT. Only where these are planted we have mushrooms. I am now having to go dig them up and get rid of the peat stuff. See picture.

      Cub Scout project
      Bought three sets for a scout growing project. Each tray has 10 cells. The kids had a fun time sowing seeds and now watching things grow. Careful, they can tear easily especially when wet.

      I love these. They make it so easy and simple to start seeds before I put them in the gardens. I've used over 150 of them this Spring and I'll be back for more in the Fall.

      I should have bought a little larger pots...my plants get rootbound quickly and don't grow as big as I like before I put them outside.

      The starter kits are very simple to use. Now we wait and see.

      I bought these to start seeds. They're the right size and seem well made. The cups are somewhat porous (of course!) so when watering whatever you've planted, be aware of where you put them as some water will seep through.

      They worked really well. Only issue I had was on a few of them they were difficult to separate. This was my first purchase of them but plan to purchase again.

      These are really easy to use. Just fill with soil mix, wet it, and add your seeds. I like the pull-apart approach when planting, so that you don't have to disturb the roots. Just make sure to completely bury the peat in the soil so it can't "wick away" moisture and dry out your seedling. I had been starting seeds in cups, but was troubled with mold buildup. These peat pots let excess moisture evaporate away, and the more-dry environment definitely reduces mold. I don't cover these, to help reduce the wet environment. It makes me water more often, but that really isn't a hardship.

        Nice little peat pots to start my summer seeds (herbs and flowers).

        Does as expected. I used it to start seeds and just plant instead of removing delicate shoots to replant.
