How exactly do i know when to transplant my vegetables from the starters? This is a current picture of them. http://imgur.com/78f9v Also, how do I remove them from the starters? Can i just pull the starter apart carefully? |

When I have transplanted seedlings (be it my own or from the shop), I remove then from the plastic mold (in the case of shop bought) and soak them in a bucket water (with some seasol). After letting them soak for a minute, I carefully tease them apart in the water and wash off all the soil / starter. Once clean, I plant them in the media bed. Not sure what anyone else does, but it works for me. |

I just spray the bulk of the dirt off the roots with a hose then plant staight in the GB. 100% success rate. |

+1 on power hose down to get soil and granulated slow release fertilizer out (helps to soak them first), then I chuck them in a bucket of seasol for a minute and plant in GB in the evening so they don't get blasted by a day of full sun. water from the hosing then goes into my wicking beds. * I have read with worm casting grown seedling that you can pop them straight in the GB however. |
