I was happy with these roots

I haven't even had these long but I planted them in oak tree leaf mold mixed with strawberry fields potting soil and they are growing well and I already have 2 flowers. I have about 20 planted in a tote. I was happy with these roots.

Today is 3/21/18 This morning when I went to check my babies, I have about 10 strawberries growing now and one shoot has no lie 5 flowers. I have never grown strawberries before but now I have gone crazy. I have Evie, Ozark, Quinalt, 2 sets of white Carolina Pine berry new box came today and will plant as soon I get home and Earliglow.

Ozarks are a Beast though So much growth and so many berries in such a short amount of time.

I recently took up gardening as a hobby and figured these would be a great help. I used these to plant jalapenos, ghost peppers, yellow bell peppers, zinnia flowers, thai chili peppers, and roma tomatoes. Overall, I had plants grow from seed in 90% of the pellets. For the pellets that did not germinate the seeds, I reused them by planting other seeds and the seeds did eventually grow. When I transplanted the pellets, to bigger pots, I removed the nets because I have read stories online of the nets restricting the roots. After a few months, my vegetable plants are of respectable size and are producing healthy vegetables. I give this product five stars because of its ease of use.

I like this product.  I grew sweet potatoes in them, and now I have carrots growing in them. For the sweet potatoes, they came out much cleaner and  no punctures from digging them up.  It was easy to get the sweet potatoes out, I jut spread plastic down and dumped the bag, got the potatoes out and put the soil back. I will grow sweet potatoes in them again.  This is the first round of carrots.

I purchased these because I didn't plant enough tomatillo seedlings in my own little greenhouse this year and wanted a few more. I've had good luck with tomatillos in the past and really enjoy making salsa.

The plants I ordered arrived in a timely fashion--well before expected. That was a pleasant surprise. Though the leaves were a bit rumpled, the plants were carefully packaged and the soil still damp. My only complaint with them is that they are clearly root bound, which makes me wonder what conditions they were grown in and whether they're stunted or not (which happens sometimes). However, last year's tomatillos, which I purchased from a local farmer (I'd purchase the seed and he'd grown the plants in his greenhouse), were in worse shape when I got them and they grew to six feet tall and produced a huge crop.

Updated review: I'm once again learning that I'm better off to grow my own and make-do with less when transplants from my own greenhouse don't seem vigorous enough. I was wrong. My plants just needed a little more time. These plants brought fusarium wilt into my garden, something I've never seen before (and I've been gardening for better than 20 years) and is not common here. I should have taken the leggy condition they arrived in as a sign that these people are not as careful as they should be. It spread to a couple of the tomato plants as well, though they seem more resistant than expected. My own tomatillos (from the greenhouse this year) remained resistant until just now but are also succumbing to it. Strangely two volunteers from last year are showing no signs of it. Naturally, my crop is taking a beating.

I am just sick over this because it means digging the dirt out of the beds I've been growing them in and refilling it so I can rotate tomatoes through it next year. I will not be purchasing from this business again.

I bought these a couple of months ago and they've flourished.  They were packed really well.  Just make sure to gently repot these in the first month so they have room to grow

The roots arrived on time and were nicely packed with planting instructions.  I have only gotten two sprouts so far but that may be a weather / season issue.

I got the plants in decent shape. A few of the leaves had holes in them but other than that I was rather pleased.

These were very viable seeds. Every single one I planted sprouted. And the greens and blossoms were full and nice. I really appreciated the solid root. Iv'e used all the plants from root to blossom for food or medicinal. This years batch of dandelion blossom jelly was so good my nephew tried to eat it with a spoon lol! Really happy with this purchase.

I've never ordered bare roots strawberries before, so I wasn't entirely sure what to expect.  The roots arrive dormant and require a good soaking to revive them.  They come in a small box - packaged well, but the bare roots look really brown and sad and the leaf sprouts are pale white from lack of sun.  This is totally normal and as intended.  They're just waiting for water and sun to revive them!  I planted the roots after soaking for an hour, and every one of them is thriving.  The pale sprouts turned dark green and unfurled within a day or two.  It'll be a while before they're ready to produce, but they're off to a great start!

i can see how the air to the roots better..and how it's easier to move.because it doesn't hold water..so it's lighter.. but seems like the water just runs through.. without penetration.. is my soil too light a mix.. perhaps.. the plants seem to be doing fine.. I'ts just new to me.. and the bottoms are not so stationary, they kind of round out on the bottoms.. this is my first season with them.. I need to give them a longer trial before I can really say yes I'll buy more...or not.

They are growing happily in my herb and greens bed, along with another variety that I also ordered at Amazon. Family is happy, we can't wait for our traditional Polish sorrel soup.
I sowed the seeds after last year's summer heat, they germinated OK, survived the winter and look good now. I'm going to shade them in case they suffer from excessive heat during summer.
SUMMER UPDATE
Harvested it already 3 times, doing great. Very, very pleased.

These came fairly fast and I loved the quality of the plants it grew.

I planted 9 of the 12 herbs on the 25th of March.  They started coming up within 2 days.  It is now the 2nd of April and every one of them have come up and look healthy.  I see now that I'm going to have more starts than I need.  I have several herb pots (like strawberry pots) to plant for gifts and I still have many seeds left to start later in the season to replant as I use them up.  Pretty happy with these.

the plants I got were in good shape and adjusted well to my house without issue.  I am a 2 weeks in and will update if anything changes.

I have fond childhood memories of watching my grandfather care for seedlings in his basement prior to planting his garden for the year.  He started most of his garden from seed, and he did it in little peat pellets like this.  Perhaps because of those memories, when I decided to attempt to grow plants on my back porch this year (sadly, I don't have a yard), I thought I would start them from seed in these pellets, as well.

These are very easy to use -- just add water to the trays and watch them expand.  It took less than 15 minutes, although I left the room for a bit, so I couldn't give you a precise time.  It did take quite a lot of water, although I wasn't measuring (might have been a gallon or more per tray).  These are somewhat heavy once they're hydrated, so put the trays where you want them before you add the water.  The plastic trays will hold the water if sitting on a flat surface, but they are kind of flimsy to carry.

Then all you do is pull apart the netting on top and put the seeds in; whether you put the seeds on the surface or slightly below the surface will depend on the seeds (should have information on the seed packets about this).

I planted a variety of vegetable and herb seeds in these.  I haven't seen any mold or gnats.  Nearly everything sprouted within a week (I soaked the seeds in water overnight first).  I've had to remove the plastic tops because some of my sprouts are tall enough already to reach the plastic tops.  I have not had to water these yet (you are supposed to wait until they are a lighter brown color -- they're quite dark when fully hydrated) although I suspect that will come soon, now that the clear plastic tops are off.

When I transplant the seedlings to pots, I'll rip the netting on the bottom to make sure the roots can get through.  What I like about transplanting these is that you can just set the whole peat pot into your potting soil, no need to try to remove it or dig the plant out of a plastic container.

At any rate, I am very happy with this purchase and would definitely buy these again.

Edit 3/5/14: I still haven't had to water these, even with the tops off -- they hang onto water very well.  My seedlings are looking great, so these must be providing suitable levels of nutrients.
