First, I want to change my username to Black Thumb!
Anyway, from several messages, it seems a great way to start seeds is in a plastic cup. So how much soil - in inches - goes into the cup? I want to leave it in the cup until I move it to a three gallon container. The cups are, what, 6 inches tall? Fill the cup up to 4 inches, put the seed on top, add 1/4 inch spoil and then after the seed sprouts (if it ever does - see Black Thumb) add an inch of soil. Once the seedling gets root-bound, it would have four inches of roots and close to two inches of soil around the stem.
Does this seem close?
