Yeah Shov I've had that experience as well.
Remember that even though peat is an organic substance, that doesn;t mean it breaks down quickly!
You know how they find peat bog mummies with thier skin and clothing still perfectly preserved centuries later? Peat is pretty resistant to decay!
stinkyattic Reviewed by stinkyattic on . Who uses Jiffy Pots? I just read stinky's thread about the disadvantages of peat pellets. Now I am concerned about whether my seedlings will be able to penetrate the jiffy pots that they are growing in currently. I haven't put the jiffy pots into a larger pot yet. Anyone have experience starting seedlings out in jiffy pots? Your professional opinion? Rating: 5
