Mornin to ya Ween and friends. Wats all this chatter about shrinkage......
Lets not talk about that K....its just a cold water thang....
OK, wat i do for planting....lots of us do it this way with great success. I suggest trying things this way if anyone is having issues with seeds sprouting .
Fully soak/water #1's a day or two before planned planting. Make a hole about 1/4 inch deep with anything , a pen, pencil, screw , watever u have . If u want ( i don't do this anymore) , lightly dust that area with Doc's 'roots' before placing seed(cracked/split). Lightly cover seed. Very lightly spray or dribble a small amount of water over area, LEAVE THIS ALONE until seed sprouts. I have found this to be the most reliable planting method . Seeds are NOT disturbed too much and should/will sprout within a week....every time!
Have a great day Ween and friends....I need a nap....up early for a hockey practice today....bahhh!
