Hi All,
I am getting ready to start my tomato seeds indoors, a bit late, but since we just got out of highs in the low 20's, I hope I'll be ok. My question is about lighting and containers. I am going to be starting the seeds with my three little homeschool girls (ages 4, 5, and 6), and while it would be fine to use the brown pots, I have seen suggestions for starting seeds in empty citrus rinds. Has anyone ever tried this? What was the result? Does it work better for some plants than others, again I'm focused on starting tomatoes right now.
Also, I'm not really in the position to be buying a complicated grow light system to get these seeds started. Is there another good option? Is it ok to just start them in a South facing window?
