Last season, my first pepper growing season, I used Jiffy pellets for my seed starting. Results were good. This season I decided to get fancy and use a seed starting mix in my Burpee mini-greenhouse. Results were the same.
Why can't you just use straight peat moss in those Burpee seed cells, and forget the seed starting mixes altogether? I mean, if Jiffy pellets work fine, shouldn't loose peat moss work just as well in my Burpee greenhouse? The only issue I can foresee might be when removing the seedlings from the cells, i.e., the peat moss might crumble. Anyone tried using straight peat moss this way?
