"...However, the cost of seeds per quantity of edible greens seems very high."
It is a quantity issue. I paid 6$ a pound for buckwheat seed. If a sample small packet is
1/2 ounce or even an ounce for 2-3 dollars that is paying anywhere from 36$ and up per
pound. yikes.
Just like any seed we buy, the cost is always better in larger quantity. Those combined
trays above including the 4 downstairs may have a total of 2$. Easily 10 salads. And
fresh cut. Not bagged grocery bought that often goes bad.
Sure I bought some sample seed packets this time last year just wondering what other
varieties I might like rather than invest in quantity at that time.
"Oakly - What did you think of your Coir Roll?"
Not a fan. I had crop failure a couple weeks ago. Just two small trays. I was juggling
trays and switching some lights around and did not realize the heat mat was on. The
coir dries out so fast and seems to need much babysitting. Soil would have bought some
time before perishing.
I did not buy a roll, just two mat types to sample.
