| Dear Garden Folk
I am not a vert successful seed starter. I'm starting my seeds and will be using the Park Biodome. I've had only fair luck in the past but am not sure wherher i used a 18 cell or a 40. I've got 50 Dahlia seeds. The size of the 'pods' are significantly different. I'd like to grow 40 healthy seedlings but wil go with the 18 cell if folks think that will be a better choice. Thoughts? Thanks!! Dale |

| You are unsuccessful because you are worried about Bio-domes and all these money wasting schemes. I am very successful in growing seeds. My only problem is my plants are getting too big and still cold outside. I have Tomatov plants from one foot to 1/12 foot. I have squash, Cucumber, Honey dew, Cantaloupe, Okra, Pepper, Egg plant and all kinds of glowers. I have some old beaten up pots I keep them from year to year. I spent a little money on potting soil and heating Mat that all. Last year We had to replace our leaky bath-top. The workers wanted to throw away the old top I stopped them, digged a hole in the back-yard. made few holes in the bottom of the top filled it with good top soil with compost. Now it is a raised bed which produces 100s of pounds of tomatoes which my family enjoys and I give the rest to the soup kitchen. I keep it simple I enjoy it more. |

| Dear foolishpleasure Thanks for your input I am a super bad seed starter. No matter how close I have them to the grow light they are always leggy. I plan on germinating my seeds inside then putting out to the sun. With the biodome i'm hoping that the seedlings will grow uniformally (is that a word?) leaving very little to chance...hoping this season will be a better one! Thanks again! |
