Using the IKEA seed starter in a different way than it supposed to be used.

The unit has a special holder for small, round stonewool pieces that are both expensive and hard to get by.

Since I am only using the #Växer system to grow herbs, decided to test starting the seeds right in the #IKEA rectangular containers with vermiculite. This way, they can be placed inside the reservoir right after they are ready for the next phase.

Used only lettuce seeds in this batch. Because I want to grow them for winter when prices go up and items are shipped from far away. The previous attempt were not successful and resulted in bolted and bitter lettuce that only my birds liked them.

Will be posting about my progress as it goes. This is day 1 of the experience.
