EGG CRATE STARTER CUPS 04/07/2010
I decided to start some more seeds today. I wanted to have more plants in case the ones I have now get damaged. Besides, I thought maybe I could sell some plants later on. I also wanted to try starting seeds in these egg trays. The plan is to start them in here and transplant them into the cups later. This way, they won't take up so much room at the start. These egg cartons are full of my starter mix. I took a skewer and poked holes in the bottom of each cup so the water would drain out. Each 'cup' side is sitting in a 'lid' side. One lid was cut off and set under the cup side that is left. I also have them set in a bag covered box. This will make it easier to carry around and stops it from leaking water. Today I planted 24 beefsteaks, 12 pablano peppers, 12 jalapeno, 12 serrano, 12 yellow jubilee tomatoes, 8 fennel, and 12 polish linguisa tomatoes. Let's see how these work for starters. I just want as many tomatoes as I can get. It is my desire to be able to share them on many levels. As plants. As fruit. As food. ************************* | ArchivesSeptember 2011 CategoriesAll |
