Good morning, Jim:
Are there inorganic peats? Why do you suggest not using the organic peats in
seed starting...wet conditions and too fine peat?
Is there a mail order source for the mix Fafard 3B? An educated guess is
that this product contains no peat, correct?
I usually use Pro-mix, and I add perlite. My seeds are in a nursery flat
with a fine mesh bottom for drainage. The flat is put into a ziplock type
bag. One really does not have to water again. However, I mist the flat
using a diluted fish emulsion and a seaweed brew about every 7-10 days. I
empty the water from the bag to prevent algae build up.
Hostally,
