I have had close to 200 seedlings on this rack. If I can finish the tunnel I could probably start nearly 1000 in trays...the solo cups take too much room

No idea why but sure is a bum deal. Some individuals use statistics as a drunk man uses lamp-posts — for support rather than for illumination.

And I'd get all my minerals. I've learned enough thru the years to now know that I don't know enough. KNOWLEDGE IS FREEDOM.
