A couple of year ago Ibought these round pads with a little indentation
in the middle where you put the seed and water it
It then expands and encapsulates the seed and it grows from there
any ideas whet they are called and or where i can obtain them from now
as the large diy store no longer sells them

Probably find them at any plant nursery.
Did you get good results from them? Better than just planting seed in
ground? Straight question.

I use the peat pellets every year along with a heating germination pad.
The results are very good. I never tried starting the seeds in potting
or regular garden soil. I get my peat pellets from my local hardware
store or Amazon.

So would these be recommended more for colder areas with later
Springs? I am in a mild Mediterranean climate, and usually sow right
in the ground, or in those 6-compartment plastic trays that plants
come in at the nursery.
