milford, CT,

My first few years I was always worried about my seed starting mix drying out before germination....Now I put a bowl of water in my mini greenhouse and it evaporates and keeps the humidity high enough that the air doesn't rob the starting mix of moisture nearly as much...For the past 3 year I have been able to germinate without worrying about adding water to my cow-pots 3-4 days into germination. Any feedback would be great...I have had great success with this and it eliminates much of the anxiety of having to dry soil for germination. I still agree though with the ideology that you should not have too wet of a soil..it causes rot..this was my solution. Hope this helps out a few people...Mark
