I just picked up a couple sheets of rockwool and the soaking solution in Seattle monday. Mixed solution,put sheet in darkroom sink and soaked.Big mistake! In the threads on rockwool I missed any comment warning about the near impossibility of lifting a wet (12 hr draining) into a seed tray without it breaking into pieces. The pieces work as well, but irritate my sense of esthetics. Anyway,now there are 25 of Kells seeds,peeled,soaked and planted in their new home,without gnats.Next time perhaps common sense will prevail and I can remember to soak it IN the starting tray.With all the good press in these threads I had to try it.Where is spring??
