How to start your vegetable garden seeds with success!

What happens here

Unpack the Jiffy Professional Greenhouse kit by removing the cardboard sleeve and lifting the clear plastic lid. Inside, you'll find a tray filled with compressed peat moss pucks, along with a small instruction sheet and plant labels. The peat pucks are designed to expand significantly when wet. Prepare a warm water solution, optionally adding a packet of 'SUPERthrive Plant Vitamin for Seedlings' (a micronutrient and phosphorus blend) to two quarts of lukewarm water to enhance root establishment and overall plant health. Ensure the water is lukewarm (around 110-120°F) to avoid harming beneficial microorganisms.

Goal: Set up the peat pellet system and prepare the water solution for expansion.
