Point 1. There is no point at all in using boiling water.. Absolutely no reason that is needed at all. Point 2: In most countries Peat Pellets are now Coco Coir pellets and no longer contain any peat.
Thanks for the info. It helps others. Please visit my seed and garden shop at www.therustedgarden.com for all you seeds, seed starting supplies, oils and more. Thanks!
This is my first year using them, I got almost 100% germination. I got the 72 pellet tray and the 12. Put them on a heat mat in front of a window that gets sun 10 hours a day. It did great with corn, green beans, peas, a bunch of oregano, and an assortment of flowers. Also did a similar thing with actual peat pots and used sandwich bags to cover them.
I use these all the time and I have great results with all of my tomatoes and my green and red peppers won't use anything else to start my seeds thanks for showing the review hope others will learn just as much as I do
Thanks. That will help others, knowing they work well for you. Please visit my seed and garden shop at www.therustedgarden.com for all you seeds, seed starting supplies, oils and more. Thanks!

Thank you for the video! First year for me in Ontario Canada with the peat pellets, newbie veggie gardener. Started last year with 2 containers for a few peppers and beans, (bought from nursery), they did well, now I have a raised bed for this year. I had a terrible year last year with fungus gnats which I think I inadvertently brought indoors with my plants. I used Miracle Grow soil and didn't know they're notorious for this. I'd put houseplants outside and re-potted them thinking I was doing a good thing, when I brought them back in for winter! Little did I know! So after researching I found these pellets. The boiling water is a good idea. I probably will try the larger ones next time round. It's only for me, so I don't need many. 👍
Any outdoor bagged stuff most likely has fungus gnat eggs. I always make a sterile mix using boiling water and a starting mix. Good luck!

@@THERUSTEDGARDEN thank you, I just wanted to add that last night I did the boiling water on the small peat pucks by Jiffy, I only did 6 for now. When I added the water the water turned dark immediately from the peat and they almost fell apart! The outside 'netting' isn't plastic or netting as I imagined, it's kinda fragile. Maybe I added too much water, but I fished them out as soon as they inflated and had to scrape up the peat from container after draining water, adding it back into each puck! Learning curve!
I never had good luck with the pellets...now I realize why....never thought to use boiling water to set them up and sterilize them. Gonna have to try them again, using this technique! Thanks for this!!
They need to be watered more too. So keep an eye on it. Please visit my seed and garden shop at www.therustedgarden.com for all you seeds, seed starting supplies, oils and more. Thanks!
But DONT overwater, they soak up a lot and get soggy and then the seed/seedling will rot. You really have to keep a close eye on these pellets from my experience. God bless!
This is the first time I'm starting from pellets. I am glad I revisited this video! Thanks for leaving it up and good luck on your next book. I look forward to it! Thanks for autographing your first book for me :D
I love these. My taproots each grow through the netting without issue, but I also still cut the netting away. I imagine you’re supposed to anyway, it’s only there to hold the peat together before planting.

I’m in zone 6b, I have all my hot peppers germinating In wet paper towels in baggies and in propagation tray, on top of a heat mat , I moved the seeds that germinated into jiffy peat pellets and have them in another propagation tray on top of a heat mat , they sprouted but haven’t yet sprouted in my peat pellets 😭😭😭😭😭 I am doing 24 types of peppers and have 100 hot pepper plants I think I killed lol. I am HOPING since I started germinating them March 10 and it’s now April 1, that maybe by April 30 they will some plant exposed. I’ve got about 40 tomato plants which are doing great in peat pellets … -------- I love your channel !!!!!!!!!!
Before I plant mine I put a piece of masking tape along the side and write with a sharpie what is in the cells but for me, I typically have a full row of the same or at least 2 of the same per row. You can draw a line also if you are splitting the row you get the idea.

I was just told by lady in the shop for (maybe it was just for peppers) that warm soil is more important for germination than light and that close intense light is perfect once it germinates. CONFIRM DENY? Thanks! Just planting pepper seeds today. Watch dozens of your videos!
Well light is always important as without it they plants get leggy. Plants should germinate into light with 24 hours. But warmth is what speeds up germination and that is true. A house at 65 degrees is perfect for germination. Warmer is even better for peppers.

I start my cucumbers and squash in the small pellets every year. I put 2 seeds in each small pellet. You’ll have to up-pot within 2 weeks into a larger container. I start my seeds in front of my patio window, so that’s why I use these pellets. Trays take up a lot more space, and I find the small pellets to be very efficient in starting as many plants as possibly in a very small space compared to trays.

Great videos and explanations! I have a question when the seed cells become dry do you water the tops or do you put water in the bottom tray. Thanks again
I fill the tray from the bottom. Please visit my seed and garden shop www.therustedgarden.com for all your seeds, seed starting needs, neem & peppermint oil and more. Thanks!
@mikenkarie good question! I believe you only water them when the soil on the top of the peat pots is dry. If you touch the soil and it sticks to your finger, then it still has moisture in it. I wouldn’t let them sit in water all the time. Once they absorb enough water that the tops of the soil is wet you can empty it if there is still a lot in there, but unless you’re using way too much water, they should just absorb all of it. Another way to tell if they are dry, is that the soil color will be lighter than when it is wet. And also heavier wet than dry.
Can I leave them outside 24/7 as long as the temps are in the 40’s at night ? I’ve left them in direct sun and outside at night since Saturday. Only their 3rd night tonight. I’ll bring them inside if I need to . Thank you for this video! It’s been hard to find any discussion about using these outside. 😊
I can never make these work. I seem to have a hard time making them not get leggy. Watching this video as one last attempt to figure out how to use these (potentially) amazing kits!

Hi Gary. I have followed your instructions. My light looks similar to yours (mine has 2 30W cool white fluorescent bulbs) My seedling leaves are light green and the veins in the leaves of some are yellow. Could this light be too hot when 2" above seedlings?
Can anyone tell me if a 36 " t5 which is 39 watts and 6400k (whatever that is) is no good or good enough or perfect for germination and beginning just like what is in this video. To Garry the maker of this video thank you so much for all your video's you do. They are helping me tons as I have never did this sort of thing. Now in my retirement I had to get doing something, last year I purchased mostly store bought plants and it cost me a fortune. Sooooooo here I am having fun with hundreds of seeds I've bought. Happy growing to everyone this year and God bless.

Could not find the large pellets at Wal Mart so I started my tomatoes, peppers and herbs in the small containers. They are growing but I guess I will have to move them to cups in time. Di I make a mistake not using the large pellets.
Are you starting seeds now or just illustrating how? I know before your move we'r were in the same grow zone 7b im not sur what your in now. If you're staying seeds now after about a month of growth what's your game plan do u have a greenhouse you put them in?
General rule, if planting outdoor. 8- 10 weeks, start indoor seedlings, before estimated last frost. Introduce plant to outdoors, in at night, out in day for a week. Green House, with controlled light and temperature, anytime. For me, I'm starting on spring flowers and Herbs. Some have long germination time. But sap season getting started, Temperatures, above freezing daytime, and below freezing at night. Put 4 taps in black walnut trees yesterday. There dripping nicely.
These were just for the video. You find the date you have the conditions in your area for outdoor planting and count backwards. Please visit my seed and garden shop at www.therustedgarden.com for all you seeds, seed starting supplies, oils and more. Thanks!
If I'm aiming to get my plants out by June 1st here in Canada. Can I start these pucks 8 weeks before that date and leave my seedlings in these for that whole time? I've been using 16 oz solo cup the last few years to start my tomatoes and peppers and after 8 weeks they need to go in something bigger or go into the ground (and those solo cups have a lot more room then those 50 mm pucks). I used the smaller pucks last years to start my squash and zucchini and I started those 3 weeks before June 1st and they were more then ready to go into the ground. I honestly can't see those larger pucks sustaining anything longer then 5 weeks. You were talking about starting pepper plants 12 weeks before planting! Even using the larger pucks, surely those would need some potting up? Thanks for the video and I look forward to your thoughts.
I dont think these would be better than 16 ounces solo cups. Try tomatoes 6 weeks before planting date for the solo cups. The 2 weeks wont make much of the difference. Peppers can stay at 8 weeks. If you have room and need larger plants... peppers 10-12 weeks help.
Thanks so much for taking the time and effort to reply but.... that doesn't quite answer my question. If I use one of those small pucks (36mm) to start my zucchini and squash, how long can I let them grown in there before they need to be potted up or planted out? I'm guessing three weeks maximum. And if I use the larger pucks (50mm) for my pepper plants (these pucks are the best for getting peppers to germinated) I can't seeing letting them stay for more then 4 and half weeks without planting out. It's a great video on this subject but you didn't give us any time lines. In other words, you can't do a video on these pucks and mention starting your peppers 12 weeks in advance of last frost date and not tell people how long the seedling can actually stay in the pod. I think we can all agree that it isn't 12 weeks but then how long is it? Ok, I look forward to hearing back from you. Thanks again. @@THERUSTEDGARDEN

Hi Gary, I'm growing peppers using the same brand of kit, living in zone 10 and starting indoors. I'm trying to fight a sort of white mold/hairy white fungus on the tops. I just got a heating mat today and I've started to leave the lid off. I'm just under one week elapsed. Any advice? Thanks! EDIT: Also have begun using an LED grow lamp today as well. Previously I had indirect sunlight.
Lamps are key. Let the tops of them dry as much as you can between watering. And if you just started.... on a day over freezing light some direct sun outdoors cleanse the tops. 30 minutes of sun help manage fungus but only if it is early at germination. Please visit my seed and garden shop www.therustedgarden.com for your seeds, seed starting supplies, package seed deals, oils and my new LOGO'd journals and harvest bags. THANKS! I have coffee mugs too but shipping is SO MUCH for them. Working on that.
I just planted seeds in my pellets but the directions said to keep the tray out of direct sunlight? I’m confused,does that mean until they start to sprout up from the pellets then they can get direct sunlight from a window or outside? Thanks
I dont know what it would say that to be honest. Once planted they need direct light or sun or they grow very poorly. The Rusted Garden Vegetable Seeds & Home Garden Supplies: www.therustedgarden.com Earn 15% and become a TRG Affiliate for our seed & garden shop Sign Up Here: bit.ly/4aarkDD

Great tips. On my 9th day with a jiffy kit, I don’t use grow lights, and I am hoping to see some seedlings soon. This is my first time growing so this is my baseline attempt. Sounds like I will be grabbing some grow lights here soon lol. We shall see

@Gary Pilarchik so you would recommend putting a young seedling in the sun? Just wondering, as this is my 2nd year gardening and last year (my first year) I was told not to do that and to always keep seedlings in the windowsill because they are too fragile for outdoors quite yet. I live in north Texas zone 8A. We are having sunny 50’s-60’s in the afternoon here. I will be starting my seeds this week indoors. I do have a grow light but it’s nothing fancy and I think I will just move them in and out in their dome.

What does it mean when you say thin them to a single plant? I’m new to this! Also, do you have any tips for the white webs that I seem to get daily over some of my pods? Is that fungus?
Some ppl sow more than one seed in a cell/pod. When someone does this, they are just increasing the chance of something germinating. If they all germinate in that cell, that's great but chances are they're going to compete for root space/nutrients. So after germinating, you would need to thin or get rid of the other germinated seedlings that look weak or not as nice. It hurts to get thin, but it's in your plant's best interest 😭
I have a question, currently I am going to plant Bell Peppers. But, in the video you had said that the bigger ones are better for peppers and cucumbers which are the two that I am doing. So, I only have the small ones but can I put my bell pepper seed into those and just transplant the small peat pellets into a big pot? or do I have to put them into the small peat pellets and then transplant them into a smaller pot like the ones that have a set of 6? Please let me know.
You can. Just dont let them stay in there too long past their prime. You can go from small ones directly to the garden. If it is warm out, cukes can be direct sown.

Thank you. I have had green and white mold before and I was very concerned. I was wondering about the netting. In the future, I will remove the netting before transplanting or potting up.
Hi! I’m a beginner and used these to grow some sprouts, and I’m experiencing a bit of the white and green moss too... did yours grow regardless? I’m worried that they’ll die and that I should restart

Hey Gary, been awhile, can I do this with grow lamps, a heating pad and the lid to germinate or do you suggest I remove the lid? I've found the specialized heating pad speeds germination. 'd remove the lid once germinated of course. Would there be any benefit to moving them outside in the day when I already use quality grow lamps? Thanks much
I never use the lid. Too much humidity and mold and fungus growth. If you remove it that is fine but I never found it did much.

@@THERUSTEDGARDEN Hey Gary, nobody ever talks about this, After your pods get going, do you move them into larger pots, say the 1 gallon size? Too soon to put them in the earth, too big for the tray. Thank you my friend

Gary, good morning. I've got these large peat pods growing beautifully. Tomatoes/peppers mainly. There are two plants in each pod. One in each corner. I'd like to split these large pods into two plants , and keep each. Are there any special considerations when doing this? I figure I will gently remove the netting and genyly roll the dirt out to separate the root systems. Can you offer advice or maybe do a 2 min video? Thanks brother. Big fan of your channel. Also in Md. Have a great day.
Thanks. I am not growing in them but you idea works. For tomatoes if the are well spaced, you can cut the pod down the middle. Good luck.

What do you think about using peat in my seed trays? it's much cheaper than starting/potting mix and should basically be the same as using the pellets right?
It is very close. Most starting mix is peat and vermiculite. Ive made my own using those products. I never did straight peat. But in theory you are right.
