Very good to keep in mind!

Have seen people use hay bales to grow in, but you do have to condition them first. I guess it depends on your situation if that has to be a purchased material or not, but I am curious if the same idea can be used with other materials. I think the biggest "issue" with uncomposted organic materials is the nutrients are not as readily available, but I've heard that some things like squash love some uncomposted organic material to sink their roots into. I bet you can have success there, just maybe not the most optimal yields or anything like that.

Honestly have only tried seed starter mix but have seen people on YouTube have success with screening potting mixes and using that. Probably just depends on the potting mix composition though.

That stinks, glad some stuff pulled through!

Looks amazing! What zone are you in where you already have squash and eggplant fruiting?

Dang! Excited to see what works well for you :) Wife and I are going to try jalapenos and something properly spicy like a thai chili this year, but we're just going from transplants.

What types of peppers do you have there?

Good to know, thank you!

I was wondering if we should - is there such a thing as too deep as long as the leaves are exposed?

Small sample size but has been true so far, what feels like "too little" attention to my ADHD might be just right lol.

I think people reacting extremely negatively without fact checking is exactly what got our country into this state...

I have not read Krogers security and privacy policy, but if Kroger was recording me without my consent and providing that to advertisers I would like to know. So I appreciate the initial commenter bringing this to our attention. Also even if this behavior is prevalent, I don't think it should be dismissed.

 

My wife and I are starting a garden for the first time this year. We originally were just planning to do transplants for everything, but a family member gifted us some of her favorite seeds and we've had some luck germinating them! Work is busy so we are not babysitting them as much as we should, but excited to see what makes it.
