Some issues, but nice mix

Posted by Eryn on Mar 23rd 2011

I am using these pellets for starting vegetable seeds indoors. I am not a fan of the usual jiffy pellets (with the mesh around them??), but I thought this was a smart idea. I have an 18-month-old, so having a huge bag of soil around seemed unwise. This bag, for the amount of soil it produces, is small and lightweight. The pellets are VERY dense, and take a looong time to absorb the water. WARM water worked best. The instructions say 1/2 cup water per pellet, but that's way too much. I mixed up ten pellets in 5 cups of water, and this resulted in a big bowl of dirt soup. I added 2 more pellets, and they didn't break up very well, and it was still very watery and gloppy. I ended up having to wring out the mix in my hands until it felt just damp, and transfer it to a new container. The whole ordeal took a long time and was frustrating, but the end result was a nice soil mix and some quick sprouting!
Not bad at all.

I was expecting it to probably be some stupid gimmick that didn't work well and was more trouble than it was worth. I was surprised that they are actually easy and less messy, the package was also really lightweight and fairly small which was nice. I actually had a lot of fun watching the tiny pellets puff up, the only problem I had was that I found that the pellets didn't need quite as much water as it said to use in the intructions.
Less Mess

These pellets are a great soil alternative. They don't contain netting so you can just put them in a pot and add water. It's a lot easier than messing with bags of soil.
