50 seed packet
Hey,
I have on order 'Tortoise seed mix- 50 different weeds/plants 50g, 200g Calcium Carbonate and 2x Windowsill Seed Propagator'. REALLLLLLY silly lil question, can i simply grow these in the tray and put them inside, or am i better off feeding little bits each day? And do i need to worry about anything that isnt suitable that might grow in here? I have screen sterilized soil. Rick Last edited by FinnGB; 25-02-2010 at 09:30 AM. |

I'm no expert, but trimming a little off and putting it with the feed each day sounds good. Its what we do. I'm no expert.

you could plant up several trays
when one is grown put it in with torts but remove it before it is totally eaten replace with 2nd tray the 1st tray should then in theory recover and grow on then you keep on alternating the seed trays |

Some may be able to be transplanted outside but like all plant's when there is no chance of a frost.

Tort not eating
Mine suffered from a bout of not eating... until we sliced up a strawberry, they gobbled that up in seconds and have been eating well ever since! Hope this helps Gary

BTW your seeds will sprout within about 10 days but will take about 3 months before they have grown into plants |
