Prepare the Peat Pellets for the seed planting

I place the pellets in a bowl of luke warm water. You can also use a mix of water and mild fertilizer that could aid early growth strength

Fully Expanded and ready for planting

When the pellets have soaked up the water and fully expanded, they are ready to be placed in the net pots and the seeds can be inserted
