What happens here

Lay out the plastic trays containing the compressed peat pucks on a flat surface. Add warm water to the trays until the peat pucks begin to swell. Warm water helps the expansion process. Be careful not to overfill the trays, but if excess water is added, it can be drained later. As the peat pucks absorb water, they will expand significantly. Gently push any floating pucks back into their designated pockets.

Goal: Prepare the peat pucks by adding warm water to the trays, allowing them to expand. Ensure proper water levels to avoid over-saturation and reposition any floating pucks.
