Iv`e been thinking of starting an additional grow bed to the one I have (120cm x 105 cm) but I`m not too sure what I should plant. Or Should have pipes instead of a grow bed going around the grow bed. Edit: Can I plant seeds straight into the system or would the nitrates be too much? |

http://www.gardenate.com will tell you what can be planted now Yes you can put seeds directly into the growbeds. Small seeds just sprinkle , larger seeds like beans and peas sprinkle then rub over the gravel so the seeds sink in a bit |

I have not had a lot of success with seeding the grow bed. A couple of plants come up but the strike rate is maybe 1/50. My neighbors birdseed that is tipped out of the feed trays over their balcony seems to have a good strike rate though

Haha, I think you might be on to something there.. Tell me oh great one, how do I find the path of eternal seed raising enlightenment ?  I just plant in seed raising mix in seed trays sitting in a container of AP water. Then I plant the seedlings out in the GB and 3-4 days later the rats come and eat them all. Then the great cycle of SVs AP journey repeats.... |

If you have rats they are probably digging out the seeds in the growbeds |
