*Yes, they do.  One book suggested at a dime apiece, you
can get a device to help you make your own.  It's a sort
of a press that does 4 at a time.

I forgot to say, I will save some peat from blueberry
planting this year, and try toilet tissue cardboards,
bottomless (maybe cut in 1/2) on a tray, and stuffed
with peat. I know water affects them fast, so I'll
limit the experiment.

Odd, peat is considered acid, but is good for stating
plants.  i know I've used a piece of tissue, seeds,
another piece of tissue, and just enough water to
keep the seeds moist.  The tissue becomes transparent,
so you can see progress.  I add vinegar to the water
(same pH as peat) at a rate of about 1 drop per
teaspoon, to reatrd molds.  This is done in other
related industries, and is why a gal is slightly
acid herself.
