BRENDA----Re: Hello From Indiana Newby

Sure, you can use it for plant starts. I make little paper pots by coiling some

unprinted newspaper around the handle of a screwdrive, so I get the " pots " just

the size I want to hold a seed or I use a mini soil blocker to make dirt

pots-then just add your seeds and put them in the plastic cartridge that comes

with the sprouter-when they have their true leaves, just transplant them

outside. For baby veggies, I just modified the depth of my cartridge, and grow

mini parsnips, salsify, tom thumb lettuce, micro toms, etc. I have had a few

failures, but I learn from those, lol. Mostly though, I have been able to grow

plenty in the easy green-I even grew some snowball cauliflower in it! I am

working on replanting a crop of baby veggies in it some time this week. I will

make it a point to make some videos for you, since I know what I am saying

probably makes no sense, lol.

sprouts was back in the 60's and 70's and using mason jars wth screen lids.

I didnt know exactly what they were used for) I was interested. I had hoped

they could be used as a controlled environment for starting garden veggie

plants. I had my husband attend the sale to bid on one for me. Auctions being

what they are, I ended up with 6 of them!

put them to use. They are called *EasyGreen*. If anyone out there has

experience using one of these, I would love some pointers.
