These pots are solving a problem. For years I have used tall nursery pots that are thin and tip easily. In fact, they would tip so easy that I would tuck multiple pots into a container to keep them upright. These pots are solving that issue. They are rigid and stand on their own. The plastic is thick enough to reuse the pots over and over. They have good drainage holes at the bottom. They are pricier than the thin pots, however if you are able to get multiple uses out of them, they might cost about the same (the thin pots I was using would not be fit for reuse). The pots even have a flat area on the top for adding a label. Definitely a winning product at the homestead. – Bren

Pop-Out Cells Make Seed Starting and Transplanting a Breeze at the Homestead

At our homestead, we really like the silicone pop-out cells on these trays. The silicone bottoms make removing the transplants easier without damaging the roots. This set also has ample holes in the bottom for drainage. The bottom tray and the planting tray are made of rigid clear plastic and should last through multiple seasons. The top cover is not as rigid as the bottom and planting trays, but should still last multiple seasons if cared for. There is an adjustable air vent in the top cover which is great because we start many of our seeds in the house where the air is dry. We keep the air vent nearly closed to maintain moisture on the young seedlings.

The set also comes with plant markers, a pen, and planting tools. Be warned, we feel the tools are a little cheap, but most homesteaders probably have other tools they prefer to use.

The bottoms are a clear plastic which allows you to see your roots and not allow them to become root bound. We really like using these and hope you try them. Let us know what you think if you do. – Bren

We use these constantly around the homestead and shop. They are well constructed with an even knit and comfortable to wear. The gloves are a soft material and feel nice to the touch. The dots help with gripping items. The gloves are not at all stiff and allow for easy movement of hands. We even wear them as liners inside of dipped gloves to keep hands warm during extreme cold. The gloves won’t stop very sharp objects, but will prevent small cuts and scrapes on your hands. Finally, we found them to be reasonably priced. – Bren
