Thank you for that detailed explanation, oakley. Your experience is very helpful to this project. Your photos are motivating!
I think I"m doing alright with the sample mixed greens seed and the peas from Botanical Gardens; they are all sprouted and a few inches high. However, the cost of seeds per quantity of edible greens seems very high. I'll post progress pics of the coir grown seeds later. It just doesn't look lush and full like your trays. I have another strawberry clamshell with coir and conventional seed for comparison. The arugula is coming in very nicely, but I think I overseeded this one. I put in a row of lemon basil and they thought that was too slow growing but it is not too far behind at this stage.
I used the conventional felt mat in-the-dark technique two black plastic tray method for a half tray. It is germinating on top of my dvd player. I haven't peaked yet to see how they are. It's been two days.
