I've never saw a need to spend money on RR.
I only used the RR's because i want to transplant seedlings into a drip system. Peat moss usually begins to crumble if you take that net off of them and their being wet constantly. I'm just looking for a method that i can try with RR's that'll work out better than what just happened to me. I dont want to waste anymore seeds because they'll all germed but some got trapped in the RR's and after three days im pretty sure they started dying even though a few are starting to thrive since i've cut away some of the RR. Only one made it alone and im sure people have to be getting better results than this if everyone is reccommending them!
