Some data on pepper seed starting success vs seed age

sweetwm007 · February 17, 2006

i too am using " trimmed off 'plastic bottles for the jiffy 7's i purchased from the states. around 200 trimmed green tea bottles. jiffy 7's are about the only alternative i could use this year for a starting medium. there is nothing sterile here [ including the water ] and no sources of potting soil that i can find. one has to be very careful of the compost that is available. this has been one heck of a struggle.
the reason i asked about jiffy 7's relating to pepper seeds is something i read about peat having a negative impact on germination. just can't remember where.

william- having a heck of a time!
