I started some Echinacea and Chrysanthemums. I just terminated an 11 month bubbler bucket tomato so I had an aquarium pump and air stones to add to my tank. I used a 2 inch disk airstone.AG spongesBurpee seedsAG Nutes: 16ml1ml peroxideYou can see my printed seed boxes here! I also printed a few of these cages. 3 seeds to a sponge.I only put in six cages in my Farm Plus, we'll see how they do, it also give me room for other starts as we get into spring (see how I just skipped right over winter there!)
