How Does Your Garden Grow By The Old Gardener
Ai Equipment for growing your own plants from seed can be as simple or elaborate as you desire. Good plants can be grown in home made flats from used milk cartons plastic cups and other throw away containers. Clean flats and pots prevent molds and fungi. Use 2x2 inch spaces and 2 inch deep flats for root space. Drainage holes are essential. Peat pots protect roots when transplanting. Grow lights are affordable options for starting indoors and extend growing season. A fluorescent grow light or standard fluorescent lamp works well and remains cheap to operate.
