The Jiffy Seed Starting Windowsill Greenhouse with 10 Biodegradable 42mm Peat Pellets is a popular indoor gardening kit that allows you to start up to 50 plants indoors. This bundle includes five greenhouses, each with 10 peat pellets, for a total of 50 pellets. Let’s take a closer look at the pros and cons of this product:
Pros
Efficient Seed Germination
The peat pellets in this kit are designed to provide the optimal growing environment for seeds to germinate. The peat allows for proper aeration and water retention, helping to get your seeds to sprout quickly and healthily.
Easy Transplanting
Once your seedlings are established, the peat pellets make for easy transplanting into their next growing medium. The pellets can be directly planted in the ground or potted, protecting the delicate root system.
Responsibly Sourced Peat
The peat pellets in this kit are made from Canadian sphagnum peat, which is a renewable and responsibly harvested resource.
Cons
Mesh Barrier Issues
Some users have reported that certain plants, like basil and jalapeños, have trouble growing through the mesh netting on the peat pellets. This can lead to stunted or droopy growth.
Shipping Damage
The large and heavy packaging of this kit can sometimes get damaged in transit, leading to the peat pellets being knocked out of their beds and the lids getting dirty. This does not seem to affect the performance, but it can be frustrating.
Incorrect Product Dimensions
The listed product dimensions are inaccurate, with the actual size being slightly larger than advertised.
