peas germinated in 2 days! Jiffy Envelopes
« on: March 28, 2007, 15:29 »
i recently sowed some peas by cutting 2-litre water bottles in half, then i put 2 per seed tray - they were the square shaped bottles so they sit perfect and dont rock.  I then put each tray in a large padded jiffy envelope and folded the flap closed.  I sowed on 26th, I just checked them and they have started to sprout!  Butternut squashes have germinated in 5 days, the jiffys seem to work a treat.  stuff I sowed in propagators took over 2 weeks.

Jiffys are pricey I know, but I buy them in boxes of 100 for business and reuse ones that I get through the post, so cost is low.
Avoid fruit and nuts.  You are what you eat.

you can also use the little punnet thingy's grapes and stuff come in, I never bury my seeds just lie them on top and water from the base and again you will find very quick germination and nearly always 100%.
Punk isn't dead...it's underground where it belongs. If it comes to the surface it's no longer punk...it's Green Day!
