Many gardeners are kicking off the growing season early by starting seeds indoors. From hot peppers to sweet strawberries, home gardeners are more prolific than ever. Find everything you need to join in at Ace Hardware, including seed starting kits, peat pots, plant trays and more.

What is Seed Starting?

Seed starting involves planting seeds in containers indoors and nurturing the seedlings through the colder months before transplanting them outside. This head start helps seedlings develop stronger roots and improves their chances of thriving in the garden.

Types of Planting Trays

Choosing the right planting tray can make a difference in your seed starting success. Options include peat pots, grow bags and seed starting trays, each with its own benefits.

Peat Pots: A Biodegradable Option

Peat pots are organic, biodegradable containers that allow seedlings to grow with minimal root disturbance. When placed on plant trays, they help manage excess moisture. Once outdoor conditions are right, peat pots can be planted directly into the ground, where they naturally break down and enrich the soil.

Grow Bags for Flexibility and Space-Saving

Grow bags—available in both plastic and fabric—offer another versatile seed starting solution. Fabric grow bags provide excellent drainage and aeration, promoting healthy root growth. Some biodegradable options can be planted directly in the ground, breaking down over time. Plastic grow bags, while reusable, need to be removed when transplanting to avoid root restriction. These space-efficient options are ideal for gardeners with limited growing areas.

Seed Starting Trays to Stay Organized

Seed starting trays are an alternative to peat pots and bag plant starters. These plant trays have many small cells that hold soil and seeds, allowing for efficient germination and easy transplanting. Their structured layout helps maintain consistent moisture levels, making them a great choice for starting a large number of plants at once.

Seed Starting Kits for All-in-One Convenience

Seed starting kits are great for beginners. As well as planting trays, seed starting kits often include other gardening essentials like fertilizer and soil. A kit keeps things simple to start and could save you money compared to purchasing similar supplies individually.

Get Everything You Need for Seed Starting

To smoothly transition indoor seedlings outdoors, it’s helpful to have a few essential supplies on hand. LED grow lights help seedlings grow, while germination stations and greenhouse kits provide optimal indoor growing environments and ease plant transitions to the outdoors.
