Okay girls, I finally got around to taking pictures of the wonderful seed starting system I am using.

The premise is this.....Each of your seeds is planted in medium in a little 5" plastic net pot, and their are 50 pots per tray. You put you soil (coconut coir is best, and comes with the tray) and then plant. The individual plants will root in their very own "cup". No transplanting into bigger pots later, and then again into the ground, ever! When it's time to plant outdoors, you simply lift the little net pot full of roots, plant it directly into the ground or container, and as it grows the rootball gets massive and the little pot cracks into pieces and falls away.

They grow faster, stronger and have MUCh more root than they'd ever get in a jiffy pellet. Here are a couple of pictures to show you.

The first here, is a Hardy Hibiscus seedling THREE DAYS after putting the seed into the coir. Look at this taproot! The seedling is only 1" tall
