Thanks, I've been interested in, but am not well versed in creating a soil food web. When I was digging the holes, some spots did not drain well at all. Nine of my plants are going into a raised bed, but at least six plants will go in the clay soil. I like the suggestion of high rows. I planted...

More hooks today, I started getting scared as I am not prepared for potting up, so I ordered these 3.5" square pots. I was going to try and use all recycled materials (tin cans and such) but I ran out of time and I've got 72 possible plants a brewing. A friend is paying a visit, and I convinced...

Thanks for the great info, windchicken. I'm late to this thread, but this is right up my alley. For the last year, I've been trying to turn my hard clay soil into an organic wonderland. This has involved digging holes and throwing in cardboard, newspaper, coffee grounds, unfinished compost...

I'm playing catch up with this thread; what a wealth of knowledge! I've been wracking my brain trying to decide on a mellow (AKA won't burn) fertilizer to start out with and I started digging through your grow log. I got to the part where you talk about the Alaska Fish Fertilizer (here) and I...

Grow Closet got a facelift today; I lowered the lights, put 6500k bulbs in, an put up some foil wallpaper. I've got 4 23w 6500 CFLs and a 15w LED pane I got on EBay for $15 shipped. This setup may change, but most of my peppers are going outside by April, so I'm probably not going to add much...

Round 2! *ding ding* The prodigal son returns to his maker! I'm excited to for Atomic Cobra Peppers to see what a beast his train has turned into.

Wow, I really like your setup; looking good so far. Keep up the good work!

Here's where the plants are going as soon as they sprout: the work in progress closet. My T-Scorp from January (in the Oregon Cherry Can) is now without leaves. It got fried when I left it outside in direct sun under a plastic cover. I am not hopeful, but I'm going to see if it can recover...

I had to leave the seedlings for three days when I left town which was nerve wracking. I hadn't really got the temp dialed in; the tray was getting too hot in the daytime (it's near a window. I set up a timer to turn the heat mat on and off in 30 min. intervals to try and bring the temp down...

Welcome neobepmat, I'm growing a couple peppers that you might be familiar with: doux long d'Antibes & Goccia d’oro This is my first year growing Italian peppers. I'm interested to see what you grow!

If you already have rich soil, anything else you do is gravy. I would throw newspaper down. It serves three purposes: weed block, mulch, and worm food. Plastic can be used as mulch, or to kill disease in your soil before you plant. I don't know much about using plastic. I have burried...

I fly with those dirty birds! If you want the good deals that can be had, you have to put the time in. Use your intuition, and if you have concerns about germination rates or whether a seed is OP or not, write to the seller before you buy. Let your intuition be your guide when it comes to buying...

Whoa, sprouts in the mail? That's awesome! How were those packaged? Was the paper towel inside the tube?

Hey, thanks for the encouragement guys. I'm going to breathe easier once some of these guys are a healthy size. I'm not sure yet. I definitely don't have room to grow 72 plants in my closet (which is where the starts will be in their infancy. I have a covered dog run that I've converted into a...

Joe, I got the seeds. Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU!!! The Honduran seeds look very interesting and are going on my round 2 growlist. I started many seeds I've received from you yesterday. As I was laboring to soak and label all the seeds, I broke open the dried Chiletepin you sent, using the...
