Miracle-Gro 'expand n' grow'

Has anyone tried this product for seed starting? I think it is new this year -- new in this area, at least. It would need to be screened since many of the particles are "chunks."

I have had wonderful success using the somewhat pricey coir "plugs" for starting seeds of all types, but have not tried this more economical version -- yet.

I also think that it might be great for my "Tumbler" tomatoes in hanging baskets (which always seem to dry out mid-day when they are at peak production).

Yes they dry out, especially when gone for the weekend.
See link below for a fix. Works even better with Wonder soil. I used these, they work. -Randy

Has anyone tried this product in either containers or the ground? And can anyone give me "pros" and "cons" about it? It appears to be eco-friendly but I'm unsure.

Thanks!
