EVERYTHING YOU WANTED TO KNOW ABOUT JIFFY SEED STARTER/GREENHOUSE

What happens here

For cases where seeds didn't fall completely into the planting hole, use a nail or similar tool to gently push them down and cover them with peat moss. The presenter briefly demonstrates the use of Jiffy-Pots (peat pots), which are made of compressed peat moss and can be directly planted into the ground as roots will penetrate through them. These are filled with Jiffy Natural & Organic Seed Starting Mix and watered similarly to peat pucks. They are suitable for growing larger seedlings before transplanting, or directly planting without needing to transplant if the plant has enough nutrients for initial growth.

Goal: Address any seeds not properly seated in the peat pucks and prepare Jiffy-Pots with seed starting mix, highlighting their direct-planting feature and suitability for larger seedlings.
