GARDEN TRENDS Jiffy 5-Inch Seed-Starting Peat Pots (10)

Since 1879, Harris Seeds has been supplying American growers from Rochester, NY. Peat pots are excellent for starting larger plants like vegetable vine crops and large growing annuals, allowing you to grow earlier and better vegetables and flowers. These pots encourage vigorous growth and help reduce and eliminate plant transplant shock.

When it's time to transplant, simply make a hole in your moistened soil that is slightly larger than the pot. As you're putting the plant in the hole, break the peat pot up with your hands. This method ensures the roots are not disturbed, preventing any checking or wilting.

Increasing the pot size as your plants develop is a great way to ensure continued root development and allow growth to continue without moving directly to the largest, end-stage location for your plants. The peat pots are great for starting plants because you can prep a hole in the soil that is just a little bigger than the pot, and break up the peat pot with your hands when you pot-up or move your plants to a garden.

Start your plants or move your plugs into these peat pots to get your plants to the sizes they need to be to survive in the ground or larger pots. The peat pots are excellent for reducing and eliminating plant transplant shock, as there is no checking or wilting when you transplant pot and plant into the garden, since the roots are not disturbed.
