5 ways bulk peat pellets save time, effort, and money!
Jiffy peat pellets are a trusted favorite among hobby gardeners, professional growers, and academic researchers. But did you know that home gardeners can now enjoy the convenience and savings of buying peat pellets in bulk?
Bulk peat pellets simplify your seed-starting process, saving you time and money. So, why not stock up to ensure you have plenty of these magical discs on hand? With bulk purchases, you’ll have everything you need to grow successfully, without interruptions, throughout the season.
This guide will highlight the advantages, features, and practical tips for elevating your gardening experience with Jiffy Seed Starting 36mm Peat Pellets Refills (100 Pack). The best part? You don’t need to be a pro to achieve extraordinary results!
1. Save big, grow more:
Why buying peat pellets in bulk is a gardener’s best deal
Buying peat pellets in bulk offers significant savings over smaller refills or extra greenhouse kits. It lowers the cost per pellet, which helps you manage your gardening budget—and we all know how quickly that can get out of hand.
To put this into perspective, the price for our 100-pack of 36mm pellets is equivalent to purchasing two packs of 36 pellets. So, by buying in bulk, you receive 28 additional pellets at the same cost.
For this reason and because our seed-starting trays are reusable, buying in bulk is a great deal for home gardeners, and it benefits professional growers and researchers, too!
2. Grow fresh, harvest often:
Successive planting is easier with extra peat pellets.
Keep the seedlings coming for veggie varieties you’ll sow, grow, and harvest continuously—like lettuce, herbs, radishes, beans, and carrots. You can enjoy fresh produce or flowers throughout the season with successive planting or a staggered sowing schedule.
When it’s time to transplant, simply move the pellet directly into larger pots or garden soil—no mess, no stress. It gets better because with plenty of replacement pellets at your fingertips, you can dive right into starting your next batch of seeds!
3. Reuse, refill, and grow confidently with existing seed trays!
We’ve all been there—staring at empty trays after transplanting seedlings and realizing we’ve run out of seed-starting discs. The good news? Seed-starting trays and mini greenhouses are reusable! With extra peat pellets, you can easily refill your trays without purchasing a whole new kit. Plus, our newly redesigned plastic trays and domes are more durable than ever, making reuse simple and hassle-free.
4. Seamless seasonal transitions:
Keep your garden thriving year-round.
Having pellets ready means you can keep planting through every season without delay. As summer winds down, you’ll already have cool-season seedlings started, and when spring returns, you’ll be set to repeat the cycle.
Time your seeds to season-specific bloom and harvest windows—flower seedlings for constant color, and vegetables that are garden-ready when temperatures are right. With trays always in rotation, you’ll have fresh plants year-round.
And if the weather shifts slowly, just move each seedling—pellet and all—into a Jiffy pot for an easy transition outdoors.
5. Sow more seeds and create less mess!
Looking to scale up your seed-starting operation? Bulk peat pellets are a simple, mess-free way to start dozens of seeds at once. Forget the hassle of filling endless seed-starting cells with loose soil mixes that spill everywhere. With pellets, you get compact, self-contained disks that stay tidy and make sowing quick and efficient. Just add water in a tray for an easy, no-mess start.
Jiffy pellets are designed for easy handling, wet or dry, and they protect delicate roots to reduce transplant shock when it is time to move seedlings into the garden.
Why peat pellets stand out
Peat pellets are a favorite among gardeners because they're incredibly easy to use! They simplify planting, transporting, and even mechanical handling, making them a hassle-free alternative to many other growing mediums. Keep reading to learn more about how they can help you become a more efficient gardener.
Reduced transplant shock
One key benefit of peat pellets is their ability to reduce transplant shock. Unlike other growing materials, peat pellets allow young roots to grow into the surrounding soil with minimal resistance while keeping a protective layer around the core root ball, giving your plants a strong start in their new environment.
Excellent water-holding properties
Peat pellets excel at moisture management. When watered, each pellet can expand up to seven times its height, absorbing up to 20 times its weight in water. This remarkable water-holding capacity reduces watering frequency and promotes consistent plant growth, making gardening more manageable.
Perfect for cuttings and seedlings
Peat pellets aren’t just for seeds—they're ideal for rooting cuttings, too. Once your cutting has rooted, you can transplant it directly into the soil along with its pellet, avoiding messy setups or root damage. It's a versatile solution for all stages of plant growth.
Sustainability and versatility
Jiffy Seed Starting 36mm Peat Pellet Refills (100 Pack) are an excellent choice for both experienced gardeners and beginners. These pellets, sustainably sourced from Canadian sphagnum peat, let you reuse your seed-starting trays multiple times.

Compact and family-friendly
Peat pellets are compact and lightweight and expand only when watered, saving space and reducing mess. They’re perfect for family gardening projects—easy to use and safe for kids to join the fun. Simply add water, sow seeds, watch them grow, and transplant!
A reliable choice for gardeners
Peat pellets provide a clean, efficient, and sustainable way to grow plants. They minimize transplant shock, improve soil aeration, and support healthy root development, all while being eco-friendly and easy to use. Whether you're a seasoned gardener or just starting, peat pellets are a reliable and practical choice.
