seed-starting media

clara · March 31, 2009

For this year, it's too late as all my seeds are in the trays or have even been transplanted into small cups, but for next year, I'm thinking about the following procedure: I fill half a cup with normal soil (the bottom part), then add seed starting soil to the top and put the seed into it. When the roots have developped, they should reach the "normal" soil. Doing this, I would avoid one transplantation. One cup, one seed. What do you think about this? Has anybody tried this yet?
