seed raising

Post by pkij »

Hi,

Before I start with the seed raising of Barley and Tomatoes with senior biology I was wondering if anyone has any hints on growing, especially what seed raising mix and containers etc to use. I don't want to go buy stuff if there is a cheaper (or free) alternative or sustitute.

Welcome back to 2008, its heading towards 40 degrees here in Mount Isa and my air conditioner is broken :cry2: , think I will have to make an excuse to escape the prep room and go up to the office and cool off!

Thanks
Pilar

Hi Pilar
Sitting here in my all too cool airconditioning and am feeling guilty, i might have to turn it off for you. Our school does alot of growing plants, seeds etc - have you got a local plant nursery you can go down to - they usually have alot of pots, plastic seedling punnets, base trays etc they love to get rid of. We also use foam drink cups (usually) for the Jnr grades - but that is not very environmental on the recycle value. We get donations from our school gardeners of potting mix, pots and trays - usually gear they have finished with. I love freebies!!
cheers
Kim
