| These compressed peat disks are one of the best ways to start from seed and transplant safely into the garden with no root disturbance. Just as importantly, they're a lot of fun! Many gardeners got their start as children with One-Steps (also called Jiffy-7s), watching in fascination as the disk expanded 5 times its height with the addition of water! Great for annuals, perennials, and vegetables, One-Steps minimize the root shock that often occurs with transplanting seedlings from indoors to the garden. The entire peat disk is planted, and the roots grow naturally through the bottom and into the soil! One-Steps also prevent strangulation by encouraging roots to develop downwards and outwards instead of in a circular pattern that often ends by cutting off the parent root base! To use, simply set the disks in a tray and drop a few seeds on each. Provide light and moisture until the plants are ready for transplant. You'll love the big, healthy seedlings these 1 3/4-inch-tall disks grow, and transplanting will be a snap! Great for vegetables such as tomatoes, peppers, and cucumbers that need an early start, plus all flowering annuals and perennials! |
