I use a mixture of half peat moss/half perlite, and place the soiless mix in 4 inch pots. I then sow the seed on top of the soiless mix, and place a few small gravels over the seeds. I then place the pots outside, usually in January. I've use this method to start annual, biennial and perennial flowers, herbs, shrubs, trees and some vegetables. I've been using this method for the past 6 years, and it is by far the easiest and most foolproof method I've used for starting plants. Apparently, they've been winter sowing seeds in Europe for eons. |
