Tis the Season of Seed-Starting
If you're an outdoor gardener, you've been patiently (or not-so-patiently) waiting for this awful winter to be over. If you haven't already started your seeds for the season, now is the time! We have all of the essentials for you to get things growing:
High Mowing Organic Seeds - 100% organic, independent seed company, with some excellent, rare, heirloom varieties
10"x20" Trays/Flats
Vented Humidity Domes
72-Count Square Tray Inserts
General Hydroponics' Rapid Rooter natural plant starters (made from composted tree bark - get your seedlings off to a great start with a very high success rate!)
Heat Mats - Seeds germinate much faster with a little bit of bottom heat
Foxfarm Light Warrior natural seed starter growing medium (one of the many soilless/soil mixes we have that are perfect for starting seeds)
Hydrofarm Jumpstart 2 ft. and 4 ft. T5 Fluorescent lighting fixtures with (or without) stands.
Sunlight Supply Sun Blaze T5 Fluorescent lighting fixtures (2 ft. and 4 ft. fixtures with single or multiple bulbs)
Azos by Xtreme Gardening - A natural beneficial bacteria that promotes root growth and helps plants take in and process nitrogen that is naturally occuring in the air. A must-use for young seedlings, as it gets plants off to a quick, healthy start without running the risk of over-fertilizing.
