Ok everybody, I just invented a better mouse trap for starting seeds and especially for veggies that don't transplant well and to prevent root shock. It's Bocabob's Ultimate seed starter. Here is how it works: There is a 50 cell insert with 2" net pots sitting in the cells. You fill the net pots with coco coir, plant your seeds and place the net pot in the cell. The cell insert sits in a water tight flat that you fill with water or water/nutrient mix and the coir sucks up the water to feed the young plant. There is a dome with vents that comes with it until the seeds sprout. The system comes complete with flat, 50 cell insert, 50 -2inch net pots , the dome, and enough coco coir to fill all the pots a few times.

Now here's the best part about it: When you are ready to transplant one or all of you plants, you just lift out the net pot with the plant, coir, and roots. and plant the WHOLE THING, YES, THE WHOLE THING. The roots will grow right through the net pot. There is NO disturbing the plant at all. Brillant!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! At the end of the season, dig out the net pot, clean it, sterilize it with alittle bleach water, and use it next season. I'll be selling them on the Marketplace within days. Price? Very reasonable. I almost have the final costs. Any questions?
