By the way, you can even use the larger plastic containers for more space. Don't need to have them that tall. Too much to bury. They are easily trimmed down with a scissor or knife to the height you want. Just fill the upper 6" of dirt with good soil.


Since you live in Virginia, I'm guessing you don't have the very cold weather as I do in WY for stratification. In that case, you can use the paper napkin method and place in your refrigerator for a few weeks. Then place outside in shoebox as I prescribed above..
