Growing Tips:
Use fresh seed. Store seeds in a cool, dry environment
Plant the correct number of seeds
If you have the Family Garden, place two Germinators side by side so you can get enough coverage for 84 seedlings.
If you overplant, snip the extras with a scissors. Don't pull.
You can transfer seedlings to the Tower Garden at any point in time.
If you plants start to yellow & it's been a couple of weeks, feed them diluted Tower Garden water or move them into the Tower Garden.
Run the Germinator for 24 hours, 7 days a week.
What if I don't have a Germinator? Good old fashioned sun will get the job done! After you add seeds to the cubes, put them out in full sun. Easy peasy!
Download the sheets that meet your needs and make a plan. Or...wing it! We don't care. Sometimes, the best learning experiences come when we operate with reckless abandon. Most importantly, HAVE FUN!
