Seed starting equipment.

Seems to me there is a run on seeds and seed starting equipment. I couldn’t find starting trays and while searching online I found most places that I found were already sold out or had jacked

I decided to go ahead and use starter trays this year and work towards figuring out misters for the greenhouse. Once I get that done I will build large waterproof trays and switch to soil blocks.

The stores may sell out of seeds, starter trays and even plants. They however can not sell out on what you can provide for yourself.

We should all strive for at least some level of self sufficiency. If we don’t grow as much of our own food as we can we are at the mercy of the markets and when people panic things can sell out really quickly.

I encourage you to get your seeds and figure out to start them as soon as you can, while it’s still a bit early for some it’s almost to late for some others.

I got anxious and put my seeds that are supposed to take longer to germinate into zip lock bags with damp paper towels. Almost everything has already sprouted.

I finally found starter trays today, I started out grabbing 10 but ended up putting four of them back. I can find replacement refills for my starter trays and will likely order more tonight. I already had four that were recycled from last year.

Tomorrow I will be putting my seeds into the starter trays, I figure as the plants grow I can put them into soil block and start other seeds in my trays.

Best of luck and may your ventures be met with success!
