TransplantMoved two Sweet Italian Basil seedlings in an improvised sponge into a Sprout.
NutrientsAdded four millilitres of nutrients.
I moved two seedlings that I had in a sponge of air conditioner weatherseal into a Sprout today. They were overdue for a home, so I figured I could stick them into a Sprout. Added 4ml of nutes.
