Huge disappointment, May 9, 2009
Submitted by Peapicker from San Francisco Bay Area (read all my reviews) (read all my reviews)
"I started 24 nasturtium seeds in these pellets after expanding them with tap water. From the same seed package I started 24 peat pots that I had filled with potting soil. All 24 of the potting soil seeds came up as anticipated while only ONE seedling emerged from the pellets. I allowed another week to allow for late starters... nothing more happened. As I crumbled the peat pellets into the trash (I didn't want this stuff in my compost) I identified numerous germinated seeds that had not emerged. I then planted those in potting soil and ALL sent up leaves. What is in these pellets? I will not use them again."

Not worth the time or Money, April 22, 2008
Submitted by KCLK from Seattle, WA (read all my reviews) (read all my reviews)
"These turned out not to be worth the time or money. After ordering 2 bags and getting a 3rd one to try to see if that one would work, we found that NONE of them worked as advertised. This was very disappointing. To make a note though, these are NOT made of peat, they are made of coconut coir. We were not happy with these and had to get our money back on this product. Burpee was nice to deal with, but we will not be buying these EVER again!! Please do not waste your time with these."

Makes seed starting a snap., March 25, 2008
Submitted by SoupAddict from Cincinnati, OH (read all my reviews) (read all my reviews)
"I used a lot of these, as well as Burpee's pellets, this winter to get my garden started. They both worked great -- all of my seedlings came up, and they're thriving wonderfully. Although both brands performed equally well from a plant standpoint, I preferred these Jiffy pellets because the netting is a lot easier to work with (the material around Burpee's pellets is thicker and taller and sometimes gets in the way of the seedling, if the seed sprouts off-center. I had to trim several pellets down with scissors.) However, I do prefer the trays that came with the Burpee domed starter kits, so going forward, I'll use the Jiffy pellets with the Burpee trays. It's all good!"
