BTW and OT, combining diatomaceous earth and dense planting works great.
The seedlings are up in about three days and I then transplant them to 4" plastic using Craig's system of just pushing the roots down into the soil (see his YouTube video) So, in 3-4 days, I have accomplished what used to be 10-18 days. If I have some fail-to-germinates, I will know it a full week ahead of the old system. I am now wondering if I could take a fertilized human egg and put it in D.E. and have a new baby in a week or less. Women might love me if I can perfect that technology, but skip the dense planting aspect!! |
