-
Peat Pots are a favorite biodegradable way to start
seeds indoors. When it's time to transplant, set pot and all
into the soil, the roots will grow right through the peatpot
walls, permitting replanting without removing the pot. No
shock or setback is suffered, so faster, heavier growth
takes occurs. Peat Pots are made of peat , wood fiber and
soluble fertilizer. The perfect choice for most seedlings.
- Peat Pellets expand
when watered, creating a natural seedling pot made of peat.
The pellets also contain a minor fertilizer charge plus lime
to balance the acidity of peat moss

Rockwool is an Inert, soilless growth medium made of woven, thin
strand-like fibers made from molten volcanic rock and limestone,
which is heated to over 2900 degrees F, spun into fibers, much like
cotton candy is, then formed into slabs, cubes and blocks. Rockwool is one of the worlds most versatile growth mediums,
and favored for use in Hydroponic Gardening.

Rockwool holds a large amount of
water giving you a buffer against power outages and other
equipment failures.
Rockwool retains at least 18 % air
at all times (unless it is sitting directly in water), which
supplies the root zone with plenty of oxygen. This means that it is
practically impossible to over-water rockwool.
From 1" cubes designed for use in
propagation, to 3"x12"x36" slabs capable of holding the root systems
of huge plants, rockwool comes in dozens of shapes and sizes making
it a versatile growing medium. Rockwool also comes "Loose" so you
can fill pots or containers of any size.
