I really can't imagine what you mean. I'm afraid I have no personal experience of that.<br /><br />But, if I did know what you were talking about then I would also have a wonderful solution - just start a market garden. A person can plant as many seeds as they like if they have a market garden, even, just say if they really wanted, around a thousand tomatoes.Heatherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01343988569221606506noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5273424096377011014.post-29299610828184295862012-04-27T06:58:58.567-07:002012-04-27T06:58:58.567-07:00I definitely think Heather should join!

Seed OverSowers Anonymous. I think we could stage an Intervention to convince Heather to join.<br /><br />The stuff I rejected is okay for established plants and baskets - it's that organic stuff from Costco - but it's crap for little seedlings. This new stuff is gorgeous. No one can walk by it without fondling it a little. I think it's from Sunshine too.sheilahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11005397694258169964noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5273424096377011014.post-6702673255526849522012-04-26T08:02:28.574-07:002012-04-26T08:02:28.574-07:00Oh Sheila!

Karen and I (we have a similar seed problem to yours but is mostly limited to tomatoes... last year we planted 300+ too many. This year we are doing better - only 132 over what we each needed [her:50 me: 60) start our seeds together at my house because I have awesome windows. But the first two years she was using her own potting soil which sounds the same as yours - all woody. Hers would pop up and then stay wee little seeds. I'd even give her plants the premium sun spots but mine would soon be towering over hers from their inferior positions. Anyways, she caught on. We use the Sunshine certified organic potting soil #1. its awesome. But of course, we need water retention here.Andreahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07592576885721685076noreply@blogger.com
