Tom, We use one of those rectangular plastic tubs (about 2x3.5 and 8”
deep) you can get at Lowe’s or Home Depot for mixing concrete. It
will hold a couple of cubic feet of mix and a flat will fit in it with room for
filling. Then, just use your hands, or a long brush like you’d use to
brush snow off your windshield to brush excess off the top. We add our
nutrients to the media, and get it moist, but not wet before filling.
Then, flats go on a bench (or the floor this time of year – bench space
is limited!) for watering. Once they are good and moist, we seed them. Works well for us, the tubs are cheap and last for many many
years – we’ve had ours 10-12 years and they still look new. Alison Wiediger, Au Naturel Farm
