"Yes" or "No" peat cups and pots for seedlings? to define easily

  • Dec 24, 2019

Every gardener wants to grow a rich harvest, and everyone knows that this rich harvest begins with a good seedling. Therefore, in February-March window sills are decorated with a variety of pots and jars of mayonnaise, boxes and bags of milk. The most advanced gardeners buy special bags for seedlings. All this moves it to one side of the window, then the other.

We also do not stay on the sidelines and actively disembark eggplants, tomatoes, using mayonnaise jars, which are then stored in house, in the garage, slightly cluttered space, and diligently spoiling the look of the room (that's a good thing that we have there is no electricity and there are not guests walk).

And last year I decided on March 8 to give mom a special peat pots - and like a good gift, and lie without nothing will. I must say, a gift liked. This year we bought a bigger container.

Benefits peat pots

What like? It is not necessary then to suffer a transplant. Shoved the pot to the designated hole, sprinkle ground, and the plant is excellent feeling, and the earth lightly fertilized and not every underground creature regales delicate roots.

The only "but" (Neighbors prompted), the pot before planting is better to deprive the bottom or a little break. Bad peat or additive in the form of cardboard can rot for a long time and grown up a vegetable does not receive the normal root system if it will be limited to the perimeter of the pot.

In addition to the convenience of landing in the ground, to the benefits of the pot are the properties of peat: it is well refers to moisture, it passes a large amount of air to the roots contain any useful acid substances. Prevents rotting of the roots.

Unlike plastic bottles and bags, peat pots will not clog our planet and contribute to its beautification and, as it is fashionable to say - are environmentally friendly product that fertilizes the garden without chemicals.

The advantage will be, and the absence of potted weed seeds and all sorts of dirty larvae, such as manure.

Disadvantages peat pots

The first is the need for the annual replenishment of the fund. For large plantations such a purchase can be quite painful to hit the pocket. Exit - to give the pots for the holidays (we have it on March 8 and birthday). That was not so insulting to receive such a present, I have put in each pot or seeds, or delicious candy, or some small gift. It turns beautiful and functional.

It is believed that the pots occupy a lot of space, we do not feel the difference between the mayonnaise jar and peat pots is not so important., And shake it up but do not need their feet when landing in the soil the plant does not experience the shock of the change of habitat.

In general, I recommend everyone to try at least once, and then decide whether you will be to act as plant or return to the usual jars, sachets. Put huskies (click thumbs-up), and generously share a note with your friends on social networks. ➦ ➦ ➦ ➦ ➦ ➦ ➦
