I use Coconut Coir pellets OFTEN! When I volunteer at a local school, hauling a bag of pellets is so much easier than dirt and all of the supplies.
Here are my tips for using Coconut Coir Pellets.

Using Coconut Coir Pellets for Seed Starting
|
|
These little pellets are AMAZING!
Step 1: Take out your Coconut Coir Pellets. I like to use a large tray
Step 2: Add water to tray and Coconut Coir Pellets. Using warm water might help them "grow" faster.
Step 3: Add seeds to the hole and gently cover or "squish" coconut coir.
Step 4: Place in a warm sunny place and keep moist. This is where the real growing happens!
Once the roots start to stick out of the pellet it is time
to transplant. I chose to transplant into a container for now while I
care for these peppers. While they continue to grow I will prepare my
garden bed.

About Coconut Coir Pellets:
The very best pellet for seed starting!
Add water, and the Coconut Pellets
quickly swell to become a perfect self contained pot with its own
perfect medium for starting seeds. Seeds are nurtured within the
pellet to germinate faster into young seedlings. Roots emerge easily
through the porous walls of the pellet as a result of the enhanced air
circulation created by the unique design and characteristics.
The Coconut Coir Pellet
- complete with the started plant inside - goes directly into the
ground. As a result, no transplant shock occurs, and the plant has
full vigor to mature faster. All the young, tender roots remain
totally intact.
NEW Coconut Coir Pellets are more eco-friendly!

Happy Planting,
Growing your own food is a great idea and the healthiest and safest way to live. I love the coconut pellet for starters. I will share.
ReplyDeleteMy husband just bought some of these or something like them to grow some Carolina Reaper pepper seeds he ordered from someone. We grow a variety of peppers every year and I also have a small herb garden and grew a lot of romaine lettuce this year, too.
ReplyDeleteWhen I worked at a greenhouse a customer asked about something and we didn't know what he was referring to... I think it was something like these! Hadn't before heard of them.
