I take it that Tom mentioned fertilization.  When I first started raising
things from seed, I just assumed 'soil' had everything the seedling
needed.  Not true, darn it!  Especially with some of the so-called
soilless mixes, fertilizer is essential.  In fact, when I fertilize, I
sometimes see a seedling make a growth spurt overnight. 

Now my question:  I have a brass siphon device that is intended for use
with 16X concentrated liquid fertilizer.  Do any of you use these things. 
I have had great success with Peter's fertilizer, but the siphon soon
clogs. I've been faithful about running clear water though the hose &
siphon after each use, but it still clogs.  Is this avoidable?
