How do you make your own peat pods for an Aero grow?
I have an Aero grow garden that uses cigar shaped peat pods to start seeds in. I was wondering if anyone knows how to their own pods?
Couldnt be easier, Old G. Cut the tissue tubes in half across the middle, so that they are about 2-3” tall. Stuff a tissue in the bottom of a short tube. Then add potting soil up to the top. Depending on the size of the seeds, put a small pinch of seeds in the soil. Sprinkle the tubes with water and stuff another tissue in the top. Then let the cups rest about eight days so the seeds will begin to germinate and sprout roots. Plant the tubes in hills or in rows and keep the soil moist so the seedlings will sprout above ground, then garden as usual. Happy gardening, OG!

Never heard of using TP rolls, always make mine out of egg cartons. I purposely buy eggs in paper rather than styrofoam cartons, fill each egg cup with potting soil, and plant my seeds. whe the time is right, I just cut the cartons up with a scissors and plant the entire thing in the prepared soil, cup and all. Ground moisture dissolves the cardboard cup with help from the seedling's roots. Its all very natural.
Thank you all for the help, appreciate all the answers. happy Gardening to all
