    I like them. I use them for germinating and growing chilli seedlings.

    Only get decent sized ones - 30mm+ in width. I find the very small ones both fiddly and plants don't seem to "do" quite as well in them.

      Had good success the first time, the second was awful.
      i have a few left and will use at some point but won't ever buy again
      I grow 70% for us and 30% for the snails, then the neighbours eats them

          I tried them once but never again, I found they dried out too quick, a bit like peat pots.

            I used peat pockets last year to start off tomatoes and they did really well - and that was in an unheated windowsill propagator I've started a few things off in them this year too so hopefully I will have similar success!

            As Bigmallly said, they do dry out quickly if it's sunny so keep a close eye on them. I don't have any problem doing this as I probably check to see if anything's sprouting about 20 times a day lol.
