    Still wondering about coffee bags for growing

    We lined some wire baskets, and some wicker baskets with a couple layers of loose weave burlap last year. We then added soil...and grew flowers in them... Worked pretty good, but it does dry out faster than regular pots.

    I sure hope the one is alive!! That would be a great thing. OK, but it wasn't 10/10, it was 1/10 (one of the 3 seeds I sent Sawyer popped)....that is a $26 seedling. On his website he says 5 seeds is enough to get what you need..... Well it isn't apparently. average it out, and 1/2 of a seed...

    OK wtf am I plant Death?

    Hahaha.....well.....leaving water out of the pots would help.... Seriously, WATER is the actual problem you are having. From the water comes the wet for too long soil, and from that comes the damping off, and also to me it looks like the roots are likely weak and can't hold the plant up... also...

    Oh wow, I like the idea of the rat rocks...ll Dang, I am sorry to hear about the stomache trouble... I hope you heal quickly!!

    OK wtf am I plant Death?

    I think you may need to disinfect the damaged area on the stem with hydrogen peroxide, and a bit of the peroxide in the soil too.... Then I would bury the stem with fresh soil up past the damaged area... There is a slight chance it could survive...slight...

    The ironic thing is he says on the website that the seeds are for sale only to hobbyists...no commercial growers are allowed to buy them...lol And since I asked about any guarantee he might have, I have had no reply..... I did get an email from his newsletter though....geez.... Hopefully...

    Yeah, and with the reapers, I actually had low germination, messaged pepperjoe, and he sent me another pack. The second pack germed nicely. So I am very happy with that kind of service. In fact I ordered more stuff from him shortly after that. These...terrible germination, super high price, and...

    I agree too, he has amazing plants on his website. I didn't even mind the outrageous price because it looks really freaky hot. Where I have an issue is for that price they should pop like freaking popcorn. Or at least at 50%.... 1/10 is unacceptable at that price.... That's a $26 seedling.

    Perhaps pull the pots out of that tray, and drain any excess water out of there. If the yray is full of water, the pots cant drain and dry out.

    OK wtf am I plant Death?

    The other plants in the photo look good... It looks like a withered up dead one in the pot, and the living one looks like he is falling over... How wet is your soil? And how much are you watering them? Although it doesn't really look like overwatering.... But that's the most common issue. Yeah...
