Hello all!
After reading about tomato root development while back, and specifically related to the lateral root growth, I found one company out of NY makes some seed starting trays, called "Air-Prune® SeedlingTray" Here is a like to their site: http://www.renaldo.org/renaldo_sales.../airprune.html I was curious, and since the cost was very favorable, I ordered one, arrived couple of weeks ago. Originally, tray holds 200 seedlings in 1" x 1" x 1" cells. But since the tray is a little big for to fit into the standard 1020 tray, I chopped it up this morning, now having 3 separate trays: 112 cell (perfect fit into 1020 tray), 40 cell (perfect for the kitchen window) ![]() And one 21 cell tray (good for the small batches of seasonal, unique or slow germinating varieties), now loaded with seed seeds, to test this trays in the real life... ![]() I don't know what to expect, but wanted to try it anyway. If anyone has any thoughts behind this method/theory of "air-pruining" and/or experience with these trays, please, share your thoughts/tips? Regards, D |
