Big Beef Hybrid (VFFNTASt) 73

Big Daddy

Bloody Butcher

Brandywine from Croatia

Cowlick’s Brandywine

Desters

Dona F1

Early Large Red

Goose Creek

Jetsetter Hybrid (VFFNASt) 64

Momotaro Hybrid (VFNSt) 70

Parks Whopper Hybrid (VFFNT) 65

Tastywine F6 (Dwarf Project)

Rather than the Rapid Rooters, I am trialing the new self-watering seed starting system from Burpee. The grow compartment sits on a wicking mat which pulls up water from the lower tray to keep the grow media moist:

It uses compressed pellets which expand to fill each slot when warm water is applied. You can see one of the compressed pellets in the bottom of the above photo.

I have the enclosure sitting on a heat mat:

So far, I've been pleased with the system:

Worked well starting seedlings for my (aborted) Winter InnTainer project.
