Window Garden Seed Starter Soil Mix - Gardening Starting Soil - Planting Soil for Vegetables, Herbs and Flowers - Ideal Potting Soil, Compressed Discs for Indoor and Outdoor Planting

This is one of my first reviews in a long time, but these things are absolutely worth the review.The product worked extremely well for my purposes and my seedlings never grew as quickly in other mediums (I cut down about 3 days of waiting for taproots thanks to these starters), nor has any other medium been as convenient to use. I also had success with cloning in these starters and once roots were showing all it took was a dusting of Azos, some mycorrhizae, and planting each respective plant into a larger pot.

These were easy to use and my seedlings sprouted really quickly! I soaked them up pretty good and I water them from the bottom every couple of days. If you’re having bad luck, check your seeds. Some seeds need to be soaked or they’re not getting the light or warmth they need. I put all of mine in a flat rectangular gladware tub and placed it under a small light and kept the bottom warm with a heating pad.

Works great! They need help when first expanding with water (a bit of shaping and leveling) then after that, plant your seeds and watch them grow!Pros are ease of use, good compost/soil for seed starting, and water retention.Only con I have is the mesh is fragile and a first time user (like me) may tear that fabric while handling the first couple of them.

Follow directions, my plants grew amazing with these!! And then they were transferred to bigger pots when it was time.

These were easy to use but didn’t work very well. They dried out faster and the soil pieces were coarse and stuck to some of the seedlings, killing them. These germinated seeds slower and only about 40% sprouted at all. The outside of these (the white pouch) was very tough and had to be cut away when they were ready for soil because roots wouldn’t break through on their own. All of this is compared to the Jiffy brand which stayed moist and sprouted faster and about 95%. I used the same seeds and it was all in the same green house. I’ll be sticking to my other brand, Jiffy, in the future. I am growing herbs, vegetables, salad greens and some fruit. Maybe these work better for flowers or something?

These fiber soil pellets are working beautifully and exactly as described. My seedlings love them so far. Easy to use - put them in a tray with water, they expand quickly, poke hole in top and drop in seeds. Easier than filling growing tray sections with loose soil.

Wanted to try this instead of rockwool to start seed germination. It works just fine, and additionally fully degradable and without concern of the handling care needed for rock wool. Also easierfor me to use as i just pull one disc as i need. I use the cleaned used yogurt pots(smallest- like activa brand)and poke a drainage hole for the disc to expand and settle in.

The problem with the pods the soil doesn’t hold the water.I always start all my plants by seed and I thought I would try these. When you water them after it has expanded and I have planted a seed in the pod. The water goes through it and sits on bottom not allowing the seed moisture . It is totally dry 1/2 way up pod and soaking wet at bottom. The size is smaller than expected. I was very disappointed all around. I will stick with the old way. I already spent to much time on this product that did not produce anything.
