Check this difference out.
top tomatoes are in 100% burpee's seed starting mix....
bottom tomatoes are in 50/50% soil and burpess's seed starting mix
The few tomatoes upper left are in rapid rooters... they are in between size wise..
Basically soil-less. Just transplant the entire piece.
Seems the 50/50 works the best....
I think a good quality soil is the way to go for your basic seedlings..
You can clearly see the difference between the seedlings..
The seedlings in the soil are very healthy
The seedlings in the rapid rooters are not bad but soil is less expensive. Maybe if you are going to grow hydroponically the rapid rooters might be the way to go. I never had an issue rinsing the soil off of seedlings before putting them into a hydroponic system.
Here is another example of burpee seed starting mix versus soil
Cosmos. No comparison at all. If I can find it there was an article in the Buffalo News about plants to attract birds... Cosmos were mentioned.
Hey Res;
Tifft Nature Preserve had sapling pines they were giving away:
These are in buckets until we get through the frost of the next few nights....
Then we have the blackberry vine, grape vine, strawberries, and a few planters of annuals started:
And yet more annuals, saplings and a house plant or two....
We're not ready for the nice weather......
just got done covering the budded plants and carrying in the ones that can be moved . maybe next week it will change to warm for awhile . it is still only april so the veg. will have to wait until middle of may
All your stuff looks happy....
I have extra tomato plants if someone wants to drop a few into the ground...
