Re: T&M



To all those who responded to my emergency plea, many thanks.  My big 
suspicion is it is mice, and I am taking protective steps.  As somebody 
said, I'm surprised that they like salad.

I have another question about propagation.  This year, I tried bottom 
watering, but found myself having the soil too wet (thereby the fungus 
gnats, I'm afraid).  With a multitude of pots in a flat, it seems a 
little too hard to bottom water and then pour excess water out. My 
questions are: is it really worth it (to bottom water)? and if so, how do 
people do it exactly (I hear of bottom watering and misting -- what is 
the exact procedure).

Thanks very much.


P.S. To Duncan, who mentioned something about mice and gnats et al being 
a part of the the propagation process, thanks.  I admit I was about to 
give up after losing a good many of my seeds this year.
