Re: Peat Pots V Plastic

Hi Chris,
 
Once I made "peat pots" of my own...........
 
I took this plastic pot which was big enough.
Then I made a pot within the plastic one with
TOILET PAPER. When you wanna try this : use enough
paper.......Then you make it al wet. Let it dry on some
heating source, and you can take your "TOILET PAPER POT" out.
 
Of course these are more fragile than the real ones. I also tried it
using a little bit of wallpaper-glue in the water. That did the trick,
but I don't know the effects of this glue on plants. Mine at that time
didn't seem to bother...

Onderwerp: Peat Pots V Plastic

In the past i have always used peat pots, although the biggest i can get hold of are only 3" in the UK.  The advantages are obvious with these.  Since joining the list i have noticed quite a few growers have started plants in large plastic pots.  So which is the best and what diameter plastic pots do you use.  (sorry our large pots are in Litres rather than yours which are gallons).
