Kurt - Do you use these or something like this? (and 1 seed per cell)? (

or are you referring to something else (need link if so)? I'm amazed they get 1.5' in the cell.
I use those cells, both sizes, but I like the bigger/deeper ones better.
This year, when seedlings were totally different sizes, I ended up putting the small one back in the cell to give it more time. This was a first for me.
Another thing, re: the farmers depositing them into the final growing fields - what about nematodes? Do you plant in the ground or in containers?
Thanks for the info:
