that's what i did this year, i planted about 150 seeds, got about 100 to
strike, lost about 50 to damping off, planted the best 28 in pots, and threw
the rest in what ground space i had. At this stage (a month on from potting
out) the strongest seedlings are easily the strongest plants.
byron, do you use a bleach solution?
cheers,
