I'm thinking maybe: -Sun hitting the flats in the daytime heats the soil too much through
the plastic wrap? Entirely possible! Do you have a
thermometer in a cell so you can monitor the temp? -Heating mat can't keep up with the cold at night? Unheated greenhouse
and up on benches - would it be better to do on ground level? At ground level, you would have even more
problems from rodents. Unheated greenhouses aren’t particularly efficient
at growing transplants in winter. WE use a minimally heated greenhouse
with germination mats and the mats have insulation board under them. Even cool nights (we keep our thermostat at
45-50) really slow plant growth. -Mice at the seeds Mice will eat seeds. Traps are
necessary. They also love some plants – We have seen them mow down
whole flats of pepper seedlings. Alison Wiediger, Au Naturel Farm, SC
Kentucky, zone 7 Any other thoughts, or suggestions??? Thanks!! Marcy SE Colo - zone 5 _______________________________________________ Market-farming mailing list Market-farming AT lists.ibiblio.org http://lists.ibiblio.org/mailman/listinfo/market-farming |
